shubert Vaudeville In September
Shubert vaudeville becomes reality
in September when the Chestnut Street
Opera House opens.
For over six months creating staff has
been steadily at work preparing ma
terial and acts and this staff remains
n feature of the organization. Pro-
ducers, writer's, composers and direc-
tors, many of them internationally ia
nous, are included in the personnel of
the general staff. As features Of each
bill there will be condensed versions of
famous musical productions, established
dramatic successes, OpcrattaS and mod :
ern revucs. In many instances these
miniature productions will be played by
the full and original casts. That the
new circuit is able to present so many
stars Is due to the large number OF
well known actors and actresses al =
ready under contract to the Messrs.
Shubert. The pure variety section of
the bills will contain the pick of Ameri-
can and European talent and novelties.
