ILLINOIS STRONG
List of Unusual Excellence 70 Be
offered at Local Playhouse
During Coming Month.

An unusually strong line Of attrsc-
tons is to be offered Rock Inland
theatre patrons during April at the
Illinois.
Manager William Klinok, during the
present season, has brought the local
house to a standard with reference to
the class of bills that few cities Of
corresponding size enjoy, and the pub
lie has justified him in his efforts by
generous patronage.
Mr. Klinck don't think much of the
Barnum theory that the people like
to be fooled Since assuming the
management of the Illinois he has
taken the contrary view-that 1t pays
to keep faith with the public, Con-
sequently, when he states that an an
nounced play will prove Just what it
claims his word can be depended upon,
for he has made 1t a, practice not to
guarantee anything that he is in doubt
about
The result is that Mr.. Klinck has
gained the confidence of the people OF
Rock Island who enjoy the theatre.
| The theatre is a business proposition.
! If d standard production falls down
/ financially in a certain city, the follow
! ing year the owner of the play will
I blue pencil the frost" There were
/ times when the Illinois was in the
frost" column, and it has taken some
{ good hard ticks on the part OF the
management to pull it out of that zone,
but, happily, he has accomplished that
result, and this accounts for the fine
plays that have been appearing during
/ the present season at the Illinois.
Mr. Klinck has secured for April
! several Of the best things now on tour.
For instance, William A. Brady sends
here April l the original cast and
production Of THE Balkan Princess,
one Of the big musical comedy hits CT
the year; April 3, and there will
be the vaudeville bill from the Grand,
Davenport. April b, The Virginian;"
April II, The Girl at the Gate" orig
| inaI cast and productions April 10,
Victor Morley in The Quaker Girl; "
April IA, Bought and Paid For" direct
from the Princess theatre, Chicago;
April lG, "The Confession" April 20,
Henry Kolker in Our Wives" and
April "a, Henry w. Savage's Little
Boy Blue" with Otis Harlan.

STAMP OUT CRAFT
TO ALLOW BOXING
Tommy White, Pugihst, Sug-
gests Solution of the Sit
uation in Illinois.
PROMOTERS KILL SPORT
Fifty Per Cent Of the Receipts to Fight
ers and 20 to State Is Plan
Favored.

Chicago, March 25.-Tommy White,
former featherweight boxer, who dur
ing u years of active ring career,
never was connected with a scandal
and never needed a manager" or
other CRATER, who fought straight and
held his position because he was
great fighter, yesterday suggested a
solution of the entire fighting situa-
ton in Illinois.
Mr.. White wants boxing. wants TO
eliminate crooked promoters. crooked
clubs and crooked managers, and be-
lieves that he has hit upon the solu-
ton. Mr.. White proposes these things:
Fifty per cent OF the gross receipts
Of all fights TO go to the boxers.
Forty per cent Of the gross receipts
to go to the state treasury.
Ten per cent of the gross receipts
TO go TO the club and promoters.
Three-fourths Of the states 40 per
cent Of the gross TO 60 to the public
Fairgrounds, gymnasiums, etc.
Onefourth Of the states 40 per
cent to go TO maintain a boxing com
mission.
REMOVE CAUSE, SAYS WHITE,
Mr.. Whites idea is to remove the
promoters. the grafters, the managers
and crooks by removing the cause and
reason Of their existence. He figures
that by Withdrawing the money incen-
tive the bill will eliminate the mana
gers, promoters and other grafters en-.
tirely. and place boxing in the hands
of legitimate clubs and organizations
that desire boxing rather than money
making.
The whole trouble with boxing
/ call It fighting If you wish" said
/ White, is the promoter and the graft
er, Boxers are instiuctively straight,
! because they want TO win. They'll
box fair and square unless some crook
/ frames way and puts them up to
crookedness. When l was boxing we
didn't need managers. We believed
We could whip any one of our weight,
and we didn't need to divide with any
one to tell US whether we could or
not.
Il want to see boxing. not that
expect to see it. | never have at
tended a fight since l retired from the
ring and haven't any interest in it
except to have the sport clean It's
= great sport if they'll let it be.
believe a boxing bill can go through
the legislature right now, if it is OF
the square. We will insist upon E
square commission that isn't inter
ested in any club and which is mo-
looking for easy graft.
"a crooked commission would BIZ
worse than no boxing at all. l thint
that the fellows who have made tht
game and have been honest should
have some voice in saying who shall
be on the commission. PERSONAL!
I'd ike to see fellows like Stagg o
Chicago, HUFF of Illinois, perhaps De
laney-I mean that class Of fellows
in charge.
Il think the cutting of Of the bis
incentive for crookedness would hell
boxing all around and put an end t,
the crooked promoter and manager
