By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 5.—An inter- lude of darkness in Chicago's movie theaters has ended and again “the play’s the thing.” The shows reopened yesterday after a week of idleness from a lockout and strike of operators. Loop houses were jammed throughout the afternoon and evening and neighborhood theaters re- ported a satisfactory business. The compromise agreement which led to reopening the shows was reached Saturday night. The operators’ demand that two of their number be kept on the pay roll of an Orpheum Circuit theater until t January was met by the owners. at was the issue that led to the strike and lockout. Stage hands who had struck for an increase in wages accepted an in- crease of about 75 per cent of what they sought—7 per cent—and with- drew a demand for an increase in ap- prentice wages. The wage dispute with musiclans was not settled, but did not interfere in_opening the shows. It was estimated that the six d: the shows were closed cost the own- ers a gross revenue of $1,350,000.
