In the future Klaw & Erlanger will practically be reduced to pro- ducing their own plays, except with regard to the theatres in New York City. In other theatres all over the country their shows will ‘play with and follow those pro duced by the Shuberts and other managers, according to Heilig Allied with a number of other managers, controlling in all 400 theatres, Hellig approached Pr. }langer and demanded better shows }and more of them than was prom ined for the year 1911 for Portland and the Northwest territory. , Er langer said it was not possible for him to grant this request, as Klaw lé& nger had been deserted by & Co,, Brady, Dan V. Ar thur, George Tyler and other large producers, so Heilig asserted, A proposition was then made that Klaw & Prlanger recognize the theatres In the Northwest syn. dicate as having the right to make independent bookings. As a result there are booked for Portland next year the best Shu-| bert productions, the leading Klaw | & Erlanger plays, and those to be} produced by other managers A separate booking office will be opened in New York by Hellig and his associates. This office will book for the following theatres: One hundred and fifty in the Jorthwest, controlled by Calvin Reine and John Cort; 40 theatres in the Walker circuit of Winnipeg, 20 theatres in the Marshall circuit of Duluth, 150 theatres in the Ja- cob Reiss ctreult, embracing Penn- sylvania and Obio, € tr t rt ti t I t t € b le t KLINGENBERG Kilt of rles Hadberg, whom Klingen berg aswerts witness to take the stand this aft attorneys to produce nected with prior to the commis. gion of the crime of which he was excepted.
