Mention was made some time ago in
these columns of the closing of the New
lyceum, Cort's latest house, on account
of the owner of the building refusing to
complete it. A suit has been filed against
tie owner, and in the meantime, the

the exterior is unfinished. Willard Mack
lnd his excellent stock company, who
have been pleasing well-filled houses at
the Colonial of late, has been secured to
fill an indefinite engagement.  Plays of
high grade are promised, and Mr. Mack's
popularity will assist in drawing a good
share of patronage toward the Bunga-
lowi, as the Lyceum has been re-christ-
oned. Mr. R. A. Grant is manager of

KLEINE CONTROLS GAUMONT FILMS.
In view of the many conflicting statements that are being made regarding
the Gaumont films, a representative of THE SHOW WORLD called upon George
Kleine, who stated:
"I shall continue to market standard films made at the several Gaumont
factories of London and Paris under contract with Mr. Gaumont, which was
consummated several months ago.
"Gaumont films will not be marketed in this country through any other
agency. My license covers standard films only and has no bearing upon the
Gaumont talking pictures, in which I am not commercially interested."
