& Alf Reeves, whom Frank Lohm is suing

for commission on contracts which the latter claims he secured

for the Sullivan-Considine time, says that Bohm gave

him (Karno Comedy Co.) contracts for the S-C circuit which

started at Cincinnati Feb. 27, 1911, and ended at Kansas

City July 31 last to present A Night in an English Music Hall for

which he (Reeves) sent weekly commission. In Seattle,

Reeves says he personally arranged with John Considine for

a second tour of the circuit, opening in August (1911)

playing A Night at the Club for which Reeves bought new

scenery and equipment.

„Karno‘s Third Return“

Editorial content. „Karno‘s Third Return. If Alf. Reeves isn‘t

careful his record for return engagements over the

Sullivan-Considine Circuit will equal the number of appearances

made by his English company (since they first arrived

over here) at Hammerstein‘s, New York.“

      „Commencing Jan. 21, at the Empress, Cincinnati,

Mr. Reeves started on the third consecutive tour of the S-C route.

This time the Karno Comedy Co. (Western) is playing

A Night in an English Music Hall, the same piece selected by the

Circuit for the first trip the Reeves‘ troupe made over it.“
