This is the situatlion as J. C. Matthews,

plaiins it: "Negotiations were indier way
for ts to put a vaudeville show in at the
EnUSl1 T( rnole, julSt ats we would put a
vaudevill show in lit any theater which
gave promise of proit. We foresaw that
the lish, was a siall house find that it
would not support a typical 'Morris bill of
healilers. We offered to put ini a bill
of four acts and tictires, and M\anager
Thanhouser of the 1ush had until Tuesday
tmorning to ackniowldge Ihis side of the
agreement. Ie faiilid to imiake  in 0ia-
