CLEVELAND THEATRE, CHICAGO.

The engagement of W. S. Cleveland by the International Theat. rical Company to handle the Chicago house at Wabash avenue and Hubbard Court, and its other business here, created a mild sensation. The deal with the “vaudeville wizard” is considered a cotlp by the leading men of the profession throughout the country. President John Considine of the International Company and Mr. Cleveland closed the deal in New York City, the latter coming direct to Chicago and assuming control. The change means much to patrons of vaudeville, as Mr. Cleveland is acknowledged the theatrical profession’s hardest worker and without an equal in assembling the premier performers of the world. He has the faculty of providing vaudeville shows just a little better than those presented elsewhere and his return to the field will meet the approval of his millions of friends and patrons. Theatre goers will remember the high grade attractions at Cleveland’s Theatre, and Mr. Cleveland who became famous for his “original greater vaudeville,” announces that the quality of those entertainments will be excelled under his regime at the Cleveland-Inter-national Theatre, the safest, largest and most comfortable theatre 'ln Chicago, which has been rebuilt and redecorated at an expense of $50,000.
