Wall Street Falls Down.

Wall Street Falls Down.
Efforts of Wall street to gain con-
troll of the theatrical and motion
picture business of America have
failed. Having obtained interests in
some Of the leading picture produce
ing companies OF the company by
free loans and purchase OF stock.
Wall street interests recently set out
to buy the holdings Of tho theatrical
kings so that the theatrical and pic
ture business might be moro closely
allied and one made secondary to
the other as necessity might dictate.
According to leading theatrical pub
locations, the plan failed only be-
cause one theatrical masnate failed
to sell. Contracts had been made with
the Shuberts to sell their interests to
the Wall street ring. providing Klaw
& Erlanger would dispose Of their
theatrical interests. The price set on
the Shubert holdings was placed at
several millions. Marc Klaw then was
approached and is said to have con-
scented to SELL his interests also being
appraised at several millions, with
the understanding that the gale was
dependent on Erlanger also dispos-
ing of his theatrical holdings. The
latter. however, when approached by
agents Of the Wall street combina-
ton, fatty refused to entertain any
proposal and the deal fell thru. Had
the Wall streeters been successful in
negotiating the sale, the theatrical
and picture interests o. the country
would have been under the control
of single corporation, which could
dictate to the amusement loving pub
lie what 1t should have and what it
should pay TO have 1t.

London Is Show Crazy.
London has gone show crazy since

son has been one of the greatest,
from a managerial standpoint in
many years, and all of the larger
productions have had remarkable
runs. Many shows underlined for pro-
duction were unable to get London
houses during the year and have
been carried over for another sea-
son. In anticipation of an equally
good business the coming season
producers are building thirteen new
theaters in London. Many of these
houses arc designed on the American
plan and one OF the most prominent
