Theatrical Booking Trust Backs Northwest Circuit
A major new six state and western Canada one night stand booking combination formed in Minneapolis consolidates control of 360 towns from Winnipeg to Port Arthur. La Crosse and several Wisconsin cities stay outside the trust which unifies circuits previously managed independently through Klaw & Erlanger. The move centralizes bookings for smaller venues across the region.
