The theatrical season in Chicago, which generally opens Labor day, was | retarded by continued hot weather, and the principal theaters for the most part | are just lighting up this week. “The | Venetian,” a medieval drama, opens | of “Green Pastures” all other produc- | tins are musical shows, farces, come- | dies, mysteries or light romances. | The booking department for a string of legitimate houses sad that so far it {only hd two dramas of the heavier type scheduled for Chicag:. They are “Grand Hotel” and “Five Stor Final” And in ir opinion ther2 will be no shows pro- duced this season of the intense serious- ress of “The Last Mile.” Prices may never again be so low IT'S SOUND JUDGMENT TO BUY GOOD CLOTHES For those who intend to pay mere, or less, we urge Trojan Weaves » the peak of good clothing invest- ments.
