Bookings for the Casino.

Manager A C. Mayer Of the Casino
Theater, who has been in New York
since the temporary closing Of his theater.
writes that unique and interesting con-
dition has arisen through the afiliation
Of the American, William Morris vaude-
vile interests, and the English, Stohl cir
cult Of London, England, with their con-
tinental affiliations. These combined
vaudeville factors comprise some of the
biggest and most important acts In the
vaudeville field. When Mr.. Morris began
to arrange American time for the big
acts Of his European partners an I'M
looked for complication arose. In most
of the personal contracts Of the European
quiring them to be booked in the capital
Of the United States. While William
Morris has several big theaters In New
York city. he has none in Washington, IT
is declared, and his booking arrange
ment with Mr.. Mayer of the Casino
Theater hardly relieves the complicatio0,
as the seating capacity of the latter mouse
is limited. Manager Mayer refuses to ad-
vance his scale Of popular prices under
any circumstances. Mr.. Mayer THINKS
the Morris interests are compelled to face
the alternative of booking many OF their
immensely expensive and sensational acts
alter In order to comply with performers
contracts. If SO. it will work a remark
able advantage to the Casino patrons
Manager Mayer has given up all ldea
of taking even brief vacation and IS re-
naming in New York signing contracts
which, he states. promise to prove reve-
lation to local vaudeville patrons.
