PLAN SHUBERT
VARIETY HOUSE
Theater in Capital to Be Link in
Big Vaudeville Circuit, An
nouncement Says.

Announcement from New York
that the Shuberts plan a big vau!e-
vile circuit with Washington as
one of the cities to be represented
caused a great deal of talk among
the theatrical managers and vaude-
vile patrons here today.
Just what their plans are for
Washington could not be learned,
but it is known that the Shuberts
have been considering q vaudeville
circuit for some time. The Sbu-
berts now control three theaters in
Washington, the Belasco, Polls, and
the Garrick.
MAY BUILD NEW HOUSE.
II the Shuberts do get their vaude-
vile circuit working, it Is probable
that they will not use one of their
legitimate houses. but will enter
into negotiations for a new theater.
Some time ago. ii was learned to-
day. the Shuberts made overtures to
the Cosmos Theater Company which
has in contemplation the erection
of a new theater at Thirteenth and
+ streets northwest. and which will
occupy more than ne-quarter OF the
block. Just lTow far the negotiations
had progressed could not be learned
There is also a project to build a
theater on Connecticut avenue on
the site of the old Convent of the
Visitation, and this project was also
mentioned today as a possible Shu-
bert vaudeville house.
