Inacity business and the violin playing of
Miss Eula Brunella was one oftne finest
turns yet offered here on the vaudeville
stage, winning flattering comments from
leading musi cians. The rest of tine bill
was pleasing.
Majestic has had a fair business during
the week with talking pictures. Engage-
ment with talking pictures closed Satur-
day night. Three films and three illus-
trated songs are offered for each perform-
ance the ensuing week.
Manager Platt is doing a splendid busi-
ness with the Princess.
Fair attendance is reported for the week
at the Blue Grass.-F.
San Antonio Notes.
The Palace, the first theater in the city
to put on   the talking pictures, has
changed back to the straight moving pic-
tures again. The machine will be shipped
to Atlanta, Ga., to be used in the play-
house of the Weis Amusement Co.. which
has the Cameraphone rights for the
southern states. The Cameraphone Co.
stated that they were unable to furnish
films eneugh to houses In the same town
without sending repeaters, and rather
than exhibit the same set of films twice.

the best things he has done in a long
time. At the Walnut, David Higgins In-
tioduced a new play, Captain Clay of
Missouri, which is pronounced a good
Melodrama, and    at the Olympic the

a revival of Trilby. TieColumbia,wit

two melodrama houses, with Lillian
Mortimer in her newest, A Girl's Best

The Times-Star still continues its at-
tacks on the theaters. It says of the

the matter Is on all sides conceded to
be that Foy is a success and its vehicle
