FOCH WIRES LEGION
 REGRETS HE CANNOT
 VISIT AT WHIPPLE

Regret that he will be unable to visit Prescott during his trip to the Grand Canyon was caused by Mar shal Foch to be wired to Prescott through Alton T. Roberts, chairman of the American Legion national re- ception committee accompanying the former commander-in-chie of the al lied armies, on his tour of the west. The message, received by George w. Nilsson of the local American Le- zion post, read as follows:
 "We greatly regret that it will be impossible for Marshal Foch to visit Prescott, on account of the limited amount of time given Us by the marshall
 "We must stop at Fl Paso, San Antonio, New Orleans and Atlanta and be back in Washington on the morning of the tenth. It is almost an impossible schedule now.
 Regret this exceedingly, but to route the train via Prescott and Phoenix would put our schedule back whole day, which is absolute ly impossible"
 Hope is still entertained, however, that Marshal Foch may visit this city. w. A. Drake of the local Santa Fe offices will make an effort to have Marshal Foch's special routed through Prescott en route to the Grand Canyon, so that the marshal may sec Whipple, and Whipple see the marshal, with little loss of time.

Theatres Included

The five theatres included are
well known to The theatre-going
public of Seattle. The Colonial is
one of Seattle's large, attractive
and most centrally located thea
tres. The Florence. newly built
and handsomely appointed, is just
next to the famous l.. c. Smith
Building. Class A Theatre COM
mands one of the busiest districts
in the city, just off Pike at Third
Avenue, and the Star and Joy are
equally well located in the Occiden-
tai and Washington Street centers.
Considering the diversity of the
districts and the representative
patronage that these theatres COM
mand, prospects for success under
the new management and control
of the workers promises great. We
predict that the Workers United
Theatres Company will soon be
ranked among the most successful
of the labor business organizations.

Economists Say

and have long recognized the fact
that the workers supply the money
that makes possible the existence
of most business organizations.
Forward thinkers among workers.
recognizing this fact, are using
their best efforts to mobilize the
money power of the workers in
promoting labor business organiza-
tons.
II is a wholesome influence to
have the people of any community
begin to concern themselves about
the management of places of en-
tertainment. Not only from an
economic point of view, but from
a moral standpoint, a more per-
sonal interest in public theatres is
desirable. If many thousands of
the people of Seattle are stock
holders in Seattle's playhouses,
there can be no doubt. Of advance
ment in the standards of enter
tainment, as well as fairer price
to the public for legitimate amuse-
ment. Everyone needs plenty of
recreation, and the motion picture
houses are probably the most !.
popular and universally at
tended amusement centers.

Class A Theatre

Organized about year and. a
half ago for the purpose of build
ing a theatre or taking over one of
the existing playhouses, the Seat
tie Union Theatre Company took
over the Glass A Theatre, located
on Third Avenue near Pike Street.
Almost Immediately business done
by that house was doubled, and
after six months of active business
the Seattle Union Theatre Com
pany declared 10 per cent divi-
dend, payable to all shareholders
in the company.

One to Five

But it has always been the in
tent of the Seattle Union Theatre
Company to expand as rapidly as
was expedient and to acquire a
string of theatres that would be
entirely owned and operated by
the workers. From one to five
theatres in less than two years is
the splendid progress made by this
company. 1t would seem that an
other milestone had been passed
in the endeavor of the workers of
this community to prove that they
can finance and manage success
fully very large business under
takings.

Peoples Theatres

The idea of theatres owned by
the people is not new, but is
field where the endeavor Of the
workers has not as yet been great
ly concentrated. 1t is to be hoped
that Seattle workers take this I'M
dertaking SO seriously that they
make noteworthy success of it.
Cooperation is what makes prog
ress possible, and the cooperation
of the people in the theatre field
ought to mean big step forward.
With five theatres in Seattle, To-
Gated in different centers. operat-
ing at different prices and cater
ing to all classes, success is GER
tain.

10 Per Cent Dividends

When it is considered that the
10 per cent which was paid to the
stockholders of the Seattle Union
Theatre Company was earned in
six months operation of one COM
paratively small theatre, it is easy
to estimate the dividends that can
be paid on twelve months opera
ton of a string of five fine city

The problem of a better business
investment for workers has been
advantageously solved by the Seat
tie Union Theatre Company. 1t

iron stockholders are the ideal
