FORWARD STEP
 IN VAUDEVILLE
Manager A. H. Reeves Is Working on Plan to Se- cure Better Attractions for the Coliseum and Elm press Theaters.

Enthusiastic over plan whereby he believes he will be able to bring about the presentation of higher class vaudeville acts at the Coli scum and Empress theaters. and incidently perform the same service for thirteen other towns and cities in Arizona New Mexico and Texas, Manager A. H. Reeves. of the two local vaudeville houses. is on a tour of a proposed circuit embracing the thirteen places included in his plan. Should he succeed in inducing the managers of the houses in the vari- ous places he will visit to agree to his proposition, it will mean that the entire southwest will benefit in the same proportion as will Phoenix.
 With an agreement from a large string of houses to book the better attractions. it will be possible to induce some of the best vaudeville teams and acts in the west to come down through this section. Hereto fore the high class teams would not agree to come to Phoenix. except at an advance over their usual figure. for the reason that they were un- able to secure contracts from other houses in this section and were ob- liged usually to double back 10 Los Angeles or make long jumps eastward at loss of time and money
 But MT. Reeves believes that through the means of cooperation he will be able to secure the high class numbers of engagements last ing from ten to fourteen weeks and thereby secure the best possible fig ure and one which it will be possible for him and the managers of the oth- CT. houses to meet.
 Included in his itinery are the towns of Prescott, Williams, Flag staff. Silver City, Jerome, Alburquer- ton. MOrenci, Globe and Tucson. At present he is on his way to Albur- querque, having visited the towns on the line enroute and expects to be absent ten days. It is possible, too, that he will be able to book musical in several towns and thereby give to Phoenix new companies at ire quent intervals instead of being ob- hged to practically organize his own companies and book them for many weeks run. It would seem that the would mean better and more unique attractions for the theater- -goers of Phoenix.
