It was given out months lago that the Shuberta and Klaw & Er Unirer had reached a working agree ment, and in the future would book Jointly, to the md that the ' disastrous competition between them might no longer threaten the prosperity of their undertakings. To some extent It la said this agreement still holds good, but In cfjj-iam ciucs me cnupercs nave eieciea to. retain their independence, and Omaha Is one of these. At any rate, Mr. Burges has contracted with the Shuberts to pre sent their attractions at Boyd's during the coming season, and has already in- AnniuJ m Hut 1 i . . i ara promised for the season, one of the most brilliant ever published, v It con tains practically all the big metropolitan successes of last season, with a few of .the new ones that are being presented in' the earlier days or the new year In New Tork," Mr.- Burgees has not fufly determined yet .between a feature stocH company and feature photo-plays, but he says he proposes to have Boyd's open very night during tho winter. " His plans will shortly be announced. -4 At the Brandels the engagement of th Kdward Lynch company will be continued indefinitely. It will be Interrupted foi a couple of days during the second week In ' September for the accommodation of Mrs. "Pat" Campbell, who will be seen in "Pygmalion," the George Bernard Shaw comedy that made such a success last season In the east, and in which Mrs. Campbell has scored a personal tri umph that surpasses even her hit In "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." Other than this, the ' Brandels . management makes no announcement at this time. Mr.' Lynch and his company' ara goibtf along at a nlca gait, doing a very good business, and making firmer friends, with each succeeding bill, so there la no reason. to displace that ftrm of entertainment until tbe "syndicate" Is ready to get Its offerings ready for the road. Tho Oayety starts on (Saturday night, lo continue Its well developed and popu lar policy. Manager Johnson has stan dardised burlrsquc, if the expression may bo' permitted, and by doing so has done a service not only to himself and the other managers Interested in the business. hut to the public aa- well. : In establish ing the fact that a burlesque show could be divested of anything that might even remotely be deemed offensive, and still retain the essential ' elements of that form of amusement, and lose nothing In the estimation of the publio, Mr. John son contributed a notable service to the theater, and ono that has been duly ac knowledged by those whose investment In burlesque enterprises mako them very vnsltive to the conditions that surround the theater. The Gayety will continue 10 aeserve me. aujecuve or "popular. Mr. Uyrne will greet his friends at the Orpheum on Sunday afternoon, and In the meantime gives assurance that ho is really proud of the splendid advance information he has from tha office of Martin Heck as to the kind of "bills' the Orpheum is to present during the I winter. One very decided Improvement will ba traceable to the fact 'that the Orpheum has given over control of thea ters In some of the smaller1 towns around Omaha, and will no longer be responsible for booking the "split weeks,", that too frequently brought "small time". acts to the'Orpheum here. It will be "main line" and through, bookings at the Orpheum all winter. . I Tuwexlay and Wednesday, Th noted comedienne ' FABJ5IE WARD "THE MARRIAGE.
