GENERAL % the big restaurateurs are
- preparing to hit back at the theaters
that opened here last year with food -serv-

conducted in regular vaudeville theaters
The first of these Establishments will
be ready with its food combined with
vaudeville by November 15 and the 9TH

date. One wonders how the plan will
work out. 1t is certain that the theaters
that started eating plants did not make

theaters to aave look at the novelty:

nowadays who do not even care for music
when they are dining: such persons GER

dining conversations broken in upon and
interrupted by breakdown dances and the
coon-shoutings of vaudeville performers.
But the restaurateurs are very confident
and are busy with the vaudeville booking
agents. Somehow one seems to have
