SHOW FAMINE
MENACES CITY
Collapse of Theatrical Indus.
try on Pacific Coast Will
Affect Bismarck

The l925-26 theatrical season in
Bismarck will not be featured by the
full quota of quality road shows
which have visited the capital city
in other years owing to complete
collapse Of the show business on the
Pacific Coast, +. II. l.. Vespcrman,
manager Of the municipal auditorium,
declared today.
Travelling show troupes returning
from California say the theatrical
industry in the far west has fallen
into slump unequalled on the Pa
cific coast in the last 10 years ac-
cording to Vesperman, who today
announced the most meagre dramatic
schedule for Bismarck in number
of years.
Road shows will avoid trans-con-
tinental tours next Winter following
reports Of failure on the Coast, and
show companies which ordinarily
stop off at the municipal auditorium
for one performance will not be seen
this year, he predicts.
Vesperman has one show booked
for the season so far and is negotiat-
ing for another early in Fall.
Sheridan's "Rivals" will show at
the auditorium Saturday, August 90
with an all-star cast including Mrs
Fiske, Tom Powers, Chauncey Olcott
The '.Rivais" will open the season in
Bismarck and promises to be the
greatest performance to be seen in
the city this season, and possibly foI
several years.
Vesperman may book Mary Rob:
SON to show in Bismarck some time
in September.
No plans are under way for using
the auditorium for vaudeville OF
movies next winter, Vesperman said
1t is the policy of the city to alb.
stain from competing with the local
moving picture concerns for business
in Bismarck.
Vesperman stated it as his opin'
ion that exhibition Of motion pic
lures in the auditorium could not
be done on profit basis because OF
the size Of the theatre.
