LONDON, September 15.-The de.
mand for vaudeville, or variety" as
it Is called here, is apparently on the
decline in England.
The Moss Empire Co., which con-
trolls 30 variety theaters in the Lon
don area and various large cities in
England, Scotland and Ireland, has
announced that half of it's houses will
be turned into legitimate theaters.
Various causes are given for the de-
cline Of the "halls." Many variety
managers say they are not able to
get enough strong acts to satisfy old
patrons of variety. Others declare the
movies have cut into their business
seriously; still others blame the auto.
mobile and broadcasting.
Letters of playgoers to the daily
press plead for revivals Of old-time
plays.
