H for the Future of Vaudeville Here brought Us tenth season of vaudeville to a close last night and been one of the most successful In History Next season the theater will throw open Its doors on August 31 and the management forecasts a sea- son of forty weeks or more filled with a steady succession of European apd Amen can novelty creations In tho meantime passes to morrow into the renovators

betweenseasons beaulificfttion or affects the efforts always being made to secure the beet attractions that can be obtained The permanency- of Chases success long ago warranted the management ia

maintaining a theater uneqtmled in the wbolesomeness of its attractions and praised for the refinement and beauty ol the environment it has offered the of Washington Chases could as well have chosen a permanent site for its enduring habitation a year ago or five years ago as it can now a year or at nay future time when the arises all the newspaper and Con in the pest of the govern- mental eventual

afflicted with somnolency in this or any other regard concerning its very lisper tant local and theatrical Interests but the management states hi order to remove any misapprehension in this respect from the minds of any unaware or misinformed- as to the actual that Chases is prepared to perpetuity or In other words Chases will be here la Washington long after the readers of this article are gathered to their fathers Since Congress began to discuss actively the question of purchasing alt the land on the south side of the Avenue the management has been fairly besieged by property owners and capitalists In the last few weeks a score of sites and as many fortunes have been placed at the disposal of the management the newspapers have given reports To none of these has Chases given more than courteous heed for the simple reason that Chases long ago made up Its as to when its permanent be erected and it should be added out not with unkindly intent that the site is not one of the many often debated although a person standing at the southeast corner of Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue can see now the spot upon which Chases will its solid and successful the years to come In curi- osity will be gratified and long before It wilt become necessary to tenant the struc tune the new Chases will be in readinesa It will be owned land and edifice by P B Chase and the saint Chases Wilt blaze its permanent assurance of polite vaudeville over its doors it being Mr Chases intention to make the new Chases comparable in beauty to the stately na- tional buildings here and to have it stand as a memorial to vaudeville Today the polite interests in the theatrical world are compactly and permanently affiliated the in B F Keith FF Williams Oscar Hararoersteln P B Chase and other foremost magnates in this held and this combination Insures not only prevention from infringement among themselves but It also provides protection against extraneous encroach- ment and guarantees an extent and ity of attractions which no could hope to obtain The pos any opposition to Chases from any of the affiliated is therefore remote and the probability of any opposition of any character whatsoever being able to line of attractions that would di the popularity of Chases is equal ly as if not more condi- tions are not the ly considerations but while they are in they are subordinated to eon legal inviolability and busi- ness sanctity for their binding effect Chases success has not been accidental grown out of an unselfish wish to give Washington the cleanest entertain- ment in the handsomest environment and at the lowest price possible On such a foundation as this Chases has built itt reputation and reared its standard and the future holds no hazard affecting eith er the

the Otfcaen Trtsoof If you are a fullblooded American worker in Chicago the chances are three out of five that you pay rent to a land- lord who is foreign born The average native American in Chicago cant get ahead on a salary of X a week The average foreignborn resident saves money and becomes a landlord on an in come much smaller At the present rate at which the er renting properties are being by foreign blood it will not be many decades before most of the rent receipts will be signed by Landlords Smisnlewicz Zettlach or Rubertski This tendency te one that ought to in- terest Chicago especially those of American It te a singular ansi striking commentary on the traits of a class which should In the na- ture of things grow into modest com- petence but which on the contrary is drifting Into a dependence that must look to blood dictatorship proof that foreigners are acquiring a firm foothold on the small fiat buildings of the city just watch the real sal woke n1 foe ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ estate transfers and the building per- mits In a recent days list there were twentynine distinctly foreign names among those who purchased property out of a total of fortyone The twentynine included in the properties bought TV per cent of the smaller sales day Five of the purchasers had names ending In ski smacked plainly of Sweden or four were Ger- man three Italian and one Greek On the same day fortythree building permits were Issued Of these thirty three were to persons with foreign names Permits were taken out for thirteen two story lint buildings and nine of these permits were by applicants who were either Swedish or German Go through the transfers and permits day by day and will same average prevailing A similar ratio holds good with reference to small houses and cottages The records of the build- Ing department show that the foreigners are the home builders Americans cant get ahead Why This is a question for you the Amer- ican worker to study Is it because you dont want to or really cant- On certain streets of Chicago notably on the northwest and southwest there are scores of streets with pretentious with here and there a threestory The little grass plots are well young shade trees are beginning to do ef- fective duty and there is an air of mod- est prosperity Whose property is it Yours No its your landlords property You live In the second list he in the first Your name is Jones his is Szessyckl Forty years ago he was born in a far- away land He came to America in the emigrant hold Today he is worth S1Q6M You were born on an Illinois farm You came to Chicago in 1885 and have worked steadily ever since You havent a dollar in the bank or in prop- erty and you owe a months rent to Mr Szeszyckl Why Go through a score of the front vesti- bules on your street and read the names on the malt boxes In almost every build Ing you will find one American family and one foreign family It is a safe bet that the foreigner is the landlord You will not ibid the reverse true once in twenty times This is not an overdrawn picture of many extensive sections of Chicago The assessment rolls show whole blocks of renting properties without a single American owner so far as may be judg ed by the names The cause to answer the question su perftcially Ites in habit Foreign resi- dents of Chicago have the saving habit They have the property craze Natives have the spending habit Ask th aver- age American Vorker in Chicago why he doesnt own a home or small renting property and he will reply- I dont want to tie myself down I dont expect to stay In Chicago all and besides I might lose my job Perhaps when Im settled Ill Invest So the American watts until he is set abut we- n I ere bidIng j aide pet biding I I I m- me you ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ tied in life before he begins to save And he never finds himself settled until he wakes up to the fact that hes getting old Then hos settled beyond redemp- tion The foreigner begins to save at the start He puts a mortgage on the future and pays it oft so that by the time he Is forty or fifty he Is practically collecting rents from Jones and Smith who didnt want to be tied down As landlord he has carved a little niche for himself in the city where he defies eviction and loan sharks Jones and Smith are doing tho hustling to support himAfter all It takes comparatively little to support a family In comfort Mr zf rsvflki with his 10000 is content He earns a little additional perhaps but he snaps his fingers at the world You the American worker ought to learn a valuable lesson from your foreign
