TOURING HIS CIRCUIT

5. B. Harrington of the Chamber.
lain, Harrington & Kindt theatrical
company, arrived in the city this
afternoon from Peoria to visit over
night with Manager L. C. Worley OF
the Grand opera house. Mr.. Harring-
ton is senior member of the theatre
company with headquarters in Peoria
and wishing to take a general survey
OF the progress being made in his
keokuk house, happened into the city
today. He leaves tomorrow morning
at 1885 for Burlington, where the
company has a theatre.
When approached by Gate City
reporter this afternoon, MIR. Harripg.
ton stated that for the present. no re-
pairs other than were needed would
be made to the Keokuk opera house
1t is well known fact, Mr.. Earring
ton said, that for number of years,
the Keolkuk Grand has been a dead
loss to its owners The Chamberlain
Harrington people have owned the
house for the past six years. Prior
to that time they leased the building
from j. G. Hubinger. Altogether they
have been interested in the Keokuk
theatre for about eight or nine years
and during all that time, the opera
house has never been paying propo
sition. In fact $4,000 has been sunk
into the local play house, or in other
words that much has been lost merely
in keeping up the theatre here.
Hence the hesitancy of the proprie
tors to fix UP a bit but as Mr.. Harring
ton says, Manager Worley has been
placed here by the theatrical com
pany to give to Keokukians the best
attractions there are. Minor repairs
and needed equipment will be put in
but nothing more than is needed The
theatres at Canton and Ottawa, H.
are both losing propositions the same
as the Keokuk house and are merely
being kept alive.
Some Good Ones Booked.
Mr.. Harrington stated this after
noon that some good attractions are
being booked for the middle western
theatre circuit of which Keokuk is a
member with about thirty-five other
Iowa and Illinois cities. Several OF
the best attractions on the stage to-
day, were mentioned by Mr. Harring
ton and the season is bright with
promise for good shows. i
1t has been formerly announced in
these columns that Jack Schubert and
John Cort have taken over the inter
ests of the Chamberlain estate
