Virginian Theatre Leased
by Collins Theatrical
Enterprises.
EXPLAINS NEW PLANS
Virginian to Continue to Be the
Home of Vaudeville and Also
Super Film Attractions.

The merger of the management Of
completed on Friday evening when a
lease for the Virginian Theatre was
secured by the Collins Theatrical En-
terprise as anticipated in the unofic-
ial announcement made on Friday. The
lease was sealed, signed and delivered
on Friday afternoon just after four
thirty and the new management is to
take control of the theatre on the
first of February.
The lease provides an option for the
purchase of the property should this
be desired at a later date. For the
present, Manager Fred Dayton will re-
main in charge of the theatre until
the new management becomes &C
quainted with the operation Of the
theatre.
Reflects Success of Past.
The expansion of the theatre hold
ings of the Collins. Theatrical Enter
prise reflects the success which they
have achieved in the management. Of
the Burke Theatre on Market Square.
The members of the company are Mrs.
Lillian K. Collins, who in the near fu-
ture will take personal charge Of the
Virginian, Charles Collins, and Mar
vim B. Kincaid, all three of whom will
be associated in the management of
the two theatres.
1t is planned to continue the Vir-
ginian theatre as the home of high
class vaudeville in Kenosha. AS in
the past, vaudeville will be staged
there on the last three days of the
week and on Sunday, with an entire
new bill for each Sunday program.
The merger of the theatre with the
Burke will also make it possible to sup
plement these shows with high class
film attractions whenever this is ad-
visable.
Daytons Explain Future Plans.
Edward and Fred Dayton, who for
the past eleven months have been sue
cessful in the management of the
Virginian Theatre, have sold out their
interest to the Virginian Theatre Com
pany, which organization leased the
property to the new holder. The Day.
ton brothers plan to devote their time
to their growing insurance business,
the extent of which made it necessary
for them to withdraw from the theat-
rical management for the present.
They have recently expanded their in
surance business to such an extent
that it requires the greater part of
their time.
The Virginian is also to be open each
and every day as the new management
plans to bring feature super-flms here
for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day performances. The film contracts
held by the Collins Theatrical Enter
prise will enable them to present some
of the latest and most attractive re-
leases at this theatre.
E. 2. Jones, Jr., who for the past
six months has been in charge of the
publicity for the Burke Theatre, will
be placed in charge of the publicity
work for the two show houses.
Has Interesting History.
The merger of the two theatres is
an interesting chapter in the history

BULLETIN.

At the office of Charles w.
Coker, probation officer of Chica-
go, in whose charge Abe Silver had
been placed, it was stated that the
last report received from Silver
was on December 10Th and that
shortly after this had been receive
ed, Probation Officer Coker had
sent letter to Judge Tully asking
that the period of probation for
Silver and others be terminated.
At the request of the KenOsha
Evening News, COker went out
and made a special investigation
this morning. "We were unable to
get any report on Silver" declared
the secretary to Mr.. Coker just
before noon today in a message to
the News. "The garage which Sill
yer had formerly operated was
found to be closed and in the
hands of receiver. There was no
one at the place who could give
any information in regard to Sill
YER. Mr.. COker went to the resi-
dence of Silver and he was unable
to find a word in regard to him.
There was no one at the house and
people in the neighbOrhood said
that Silver had not been there for
a long time and that they knew
nothing as to- where he was. We
have tried every way possible to
find Silver, but he does not appear
to be at any of his haunts in Chi
cagO. Up to the time he made his
last report to us he had been go
ing straight, but we have nothing
to say in regard to him now. The
report from the Plymouth officials
may be true, but We do not know
the facts in regard to it."

of the Collins Theatrical Enterprise.
The company started several years ago
when Mrs. Lillian X. Collins, took over
the ownership and control Of the Burke
Theatre At that time Mr.. Collins was
a salesman for the J. P. Smith and
company, large importers of New York
and Chicago, but in few months the
business of the Burke Theatre grew
to such large dimensions that he re-
signed his position to aid in the man
agement Of it.
The many friends of the Burke grew
to such large numbers that they could
not be accommodated at the one thea
tire and the Orpheum Theatr on Mar
ket street was leased, remodeIed. and
under the name of the Blue Mill.
operated very successfully by Marvin
B. Kincaid, with the assistance of Mr..
and Mrs. Collins.
Expected New Theatre Then.
For the first time in the history Of
the Blue Mill property it, became a
successful movie shrine Then the
owners of the property came to Man
ager Kincaid and secured a release on
the lease with the intimation that the
property would be sold and a larger
and finer theatre built on Main street
to be leased to the Collins Theatrinal
Enterprise.
1t was great disappointment when
this deal failed to materialize, but the
acquisition Of the Virginian Theatre
now marks the fulfilling of it in an
other way.
