Is Not So
Good Now
There Are Fewer Shows
Than Usual on the
Street.
BY DIXIE HINES

REV YORK, July 7.-Although
IN the theatrical producing man
ayers have had little encouragement
during the past few months, the
plans that are being made for next
season are quite as extensive as
ever.
Try-out towns like Atlantic City,
Asbury Park and Long Branch have
been booked solid from July l to
Sept. 2. Stamford, Conn, long d
popular try-out place is no longer
available, but few suburban towns
adjacent to New York have entered
the arena and are securing as many
bookings as they can well care for.
So we may safely assume that
the commercial side is following its
usual formulate 'of bemoaning the
bad business, predicting the next
season will be the best ever known,
and laying plans to meet the two
extremes half way.
There are fewer plays on Broad
way this summer than has been
recorded in several years, and of
this limited number only a minor
number is doing business sufficient
to declare it profitable. The last
play produced was a simple and
amusing summer comedy called
Married Howl" and this has
taken its place beside the success
full ones on Broadway.
Three new theaters are announced
for next season. This will bring the
total up to approximately eighty
One of the new houses will bear
the name of Ethel Barrymore, which
is the first time this famous stage
name has ever been used in the
theater. John Drew, it is said, will
bequeath his name to Forthcoming
playhouse, but that is not certain.
Two others are to be erected in
a new theater district in New York.
Persons familiar with the topog-
raphy of New York may be able
to identify the location above Fifty
Third st. between Sixth Ave. and
Eighth Ave.
Already the Ziegfeld Theater and
the Gallo Theater and the Ham
merstein Theater occupy space in
this section, and the new ones will
be the Craig Theater and the Yard
mont Theater. Visitors to New
York have all but been discouraged
in trying to reach the playhouses
in time for the evening perform
ances with Broadway and side
streets virtually choked with pc
destrians and motor cars. It is the
great problem Of play-goer and pro-
Queer at this time.
The new district will somewhat
relive this congestion, as it will take
the patrons of at least five of the
theaters to another part
of the city.
Don Mutually, a well-known play
wright, who has been successful in
his original method Of play presen-
tation, is d0ing it again. 1t is Mr..
Mullally's Uneory that the producer,
however experienced, is a novice
in trying to visualize play in pre-
sentation, so he has on several &C.
casions organized company, staged
a play and presented it privately
for managers and others.
Invariably he has sold the rights
to the play, and it has become
Broadway success. This week he
will experiment with his new COM
edy, called Wanted" which is to
be privately presented for three eve
ming performances. and then it will
take its place in the Broadway line.

rection of expert fireworks men
from the factory and will be set of

nine balloon ace, will rise over the
park Sunday afternoon and attempt
three parachute leaps to earth. Miss
Pritchett announces she will drop
500 feet before cutting loose her
second parachute.

BIG VITAPHONE,
FILM AT APOLLO

May McAvoy and Lionel Barry
more are co-starred in the Vita
phone production, "The Lion and
the Mouse" opening at the Apollo
today, and which is hailed as the
first Vitadrama picture in that the
spoken word plays considerably
more of an important part than it
has in any of the preceding
"talkies."
1t represents, in fact, the very
latest achievements of Vitaphone
engineers in perfecting the spoken
word as well as symphonic musical
accompaniment in connection with
motion picture entertainment.
1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" ia
nous as stage play by Charles
Klein, is a drama of the business
world-the story of a Wall Street
king known among his associates as
the ''lion," who ruins an aged judge
when the latter refuses to give a
court ruling according to the lions
commands.
The demure mouse" of the story,
CA4C JON6C OAONCA N4ch6AAOOAg IA4AACA
takes the task of restoring honor to
her father at the expense of the
mighty lion. To do this she first en-
snares the lions son, and then pro-
ceeds in dramatic fashion to attain
her ends, the plot embracing thrill
ing action, tense situations and a
whimsical vein of comedy.
Barrymore's speaking voice, a de-
light in the theater, registers clearly
and effectively on Vitaphone. So,
too, does Miss McAvoy's, and the
members of the supporting cast, in
