NOMOREGHICAGO OPERA FOR EAST Company Breaks All Financial; Connections With New York and Philadelphia. Chicago, IU., Oct. 30. After this seaauw 'thc-Chiiafeo Oiantl Oytiaww pany will cut Itself entirely free from eastern engagements and will make no further appearance in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, or Balti more, as in previous years. It is the result of a definite breaking off of re lations with eastern interests, indi cated as probable last year. This year there will be the usual Philadelphia season, but thereafter the only en gagements outside of Chicago will bo those of a longer westarn tour. With this announcement, made last night by one of the most ac'-ive of the directors, came the further news that all the company stock hitherto held in the east has been purchased by Harold F. McCormick, placing not only con trol but full ownership among the Chi-' cago stockholders. As nearly as can be learned the ar tistic and temperamental differences have nothing to do with the decision, concerned purely with financial mat ters. . Under the new arrangement the Chicago directors are confident that no only will Chicago have Ps own company untramme.ed by eastern in fluence but, profits will be consider ably larger. "Under the old arrangement," ex plained the director, "we were entirely dependent for our eastern season on the guarantee of one Philadelphian, E. T. Stotesbury, which was alMhat pre vented a regular deficit. He now will make arrangements with the Boston company to make flying visits to Philadelphia. "We always made money in the once-a-week appearances in New York, but we as reg'arly lost it in Wash ington and Baltimore. The eastern engagements did not pay. "On the other hand our wes'ern four showed a book profit last year. This was wiped out by the too-' small reser vation we made for depreciation in scenery and costumes, but that will not happen again for we will manage our own tour instead of leasing it. We will have a longer western tour and we will make more money. "The local season will not be length ened, for ten weeks is about a!l Chi cago nr.v can s'and, but it will be our own company and we will be in a po sition to make ready changes as they appear advisable. I am confident the new arrangement, divorced from the eastern financial control, will be emi nently satisfactory to ourselves and thi public of Chicago."
