Theatrical Syndicate In the de-
sertion OF Henry w. Savage.
Not long since The Descrct News print
cd a statement from Mr.. Savage indi-
eating that he. like Mrs. Flsko. would
play his attractions wherever he chose,
in the Syndicate (Klaw s. Erlnnger)
houses In the larger cities. and in tho
Independent houses I'm the smaller
towns. This meant that such compa-
nles as Madam X" The Merry WI
dow" etc, would be sccn at the Salt
Lake theater. During the past week,
however Mr., Savage has executed a
complete change Of front. as the follow
ing letter from him indicates:

cred all connections with the Theatrical
Syndicate and my attractions VIII not
appear in any house owned or con-
trolled by that organization. My rea-
son for this radical step is because L
claim the privilege Of Offering my goods
in the places that seem best suited TO
my interests and those of the public at
large and because Messrs. Klaw and
Erlangcr are unwilling, or unable, 70

Syndicate houses wherever they hap

controlled by the members Of the Ma
tlonal Theater Owners association else
where.

absolutely no change had been maze
and that the delay was merely an ac-
cldent OF the business. This was with
