One of the original advocates -of -high-class

advanced $48,000 to the company," and
haa not been repaid. Managers and ac
tors are among the other creditors,' as
are 46 persons who claim rebates on the
purchase of season tickets. ' ' -
One rumor is that the New Theater
will become a motion picture house, but
managers of that style of attraction
pay that the location is against it, and
that producers- would hardly care to
tempt fortune there. It would not be
surprising if the house were torn down,
and the .site used for apartment build
ings, which would certainly pay well.

BY LLOID LONEROAN.
NEW YORK,- May'SJi (Speoiiil.)
Ned W'ayburn, heretofore exelu
elvely Interested in the work of
the chorus, has blossomed out as a pro
ducer. He is the sponsor for "She's In'
Aeain." a' farco -which is playing a lae
Spring engagement at- the Gaiety
Theater. '
The 'play was original with Paul
Oavault, one of the popular writers of
Kranch farce, and-an- English-version
of the name piece was made by Sidney
Blow anii-BaflH-Honfe. --Tlve -Anwricaii
version has been prepared by Thomas
'tiray, who adapted the scenes to New
"Vork. made the herd itudent' at "Co
lumbia University, placed his rich aunt
In Kalamazoo, and had two" other chars
cters claim Flatbush ' as their resi
dence. Also, the young woman in the
t-ase was a member of Ziejr'eld's
3'"ollies. so all in all he had a thoroughly
New York atmosphere.
"She's In A(?ain" is a light and airy
trifle, but it move rapidly," keeps the
audience laug-hing- almost continuously,
and there Is admirable actrrrg." The
comedy moves from New York to Lake
wood, and: rne'vitably brings -alt the
characters from one spot to the other,
a. peculiarity of farce. ' --
"Candida" I Revived.
It is 11 years since Arnold-Daly first
played "Candida".' livlkis cijy, nd now
he haa revived -it for-a""serleB of -mrrTT
Jiees at the Park Theater. Much of -the
interest in the revival centers arbund
Hildat Sponpr, who has returned to the
American stage after nearly a decade.
Of late years she has beri playing: in
Australia. She was -cast for the title
rol, succeeding DctrothyDoTTnclfy, who
retired from the company at the lasi
moment after a spirited ..quarrel with
the high-strung Mr: Daly. Others-ln the
cast are Montasue Low- as the 'clerity
man, Doris Mitchell as Prcsperrna-the
etenogrrapher; Geortie Giddens as Mr.
Burgress and Charjes- Iait -as l,ey

Hammerstein's Victoria Theater, pos

' '' Palace Is Forginar Ahead.
The "Rialto Theater' Corporation ir
headed bv Crawford 'Livingston and
Felix "Kahn, two of the best known
financiers in New York. The theater,
which is to be called The Rialto. will

Rothapfel, who recently resigned as
managing director' of the Strand The
ater; which he' made one "of the biggest
raoneitnakers in (own.' -' -
Hammerstein's Victoria has been a
vaudeville landmark for years. It was
known to every , artist throughout the
country, and those who had a new act
or sketch to show were always anxious
to make their debut at the "Corner," as
artists termed it. "Of late business has
fallen off, due in part to the oppowition
of the Palace Theater, which has forged
ahead at a great r;ite. - '
The Century Opera Company has

The present tenants gave grand opera
in English, and there-was a remarkable
lack of public support. The directors
in their petition to the courts say that
the property owned by the company is
not sufficient to pay" the. just demands
already made and that will be made if
the Company" keeps "on during another
season. The claims aggregate several
hundred thousand dollars, to offset

AMONG theatrical business men
there has come to be used a term
--"the Olcott" route" which- Is
expressive. For a score of' seasons",
since Chauncey Olcott first returned to
this" country after his' two years in
London with Sir Charles - Wyndham,
Mr; Olcott has played a certain route
each season. This route is booked for
him at least a year in advance and al
ways is the same. Mr. Olcott himself
is a bit superstitious -about changing
this" route, anrl' thts season, .when
events made It necessary to depart
from Its regular routine, he expressed
the fear that it might affect business
somewhat. No star on the American
stage has had a route of such regu
larity as had Olcott, and this routa Is
interesting.' " - ' " - - -
Each season Mr. Olcott rehearses his
company at his beautiful " Innlscarra
Cottage home at Saratoga, and plays a
night there at the --"tswn - hall." the
name which still clings to the old. the

he Jumps -west for- two weeks in XL
