- Dancing Downs writes : "After playing over two venues on the California circuits, I have decided to return East.
I was formerly known by the name of Tom Doyle, but hereafter my title will be Dancing Downs.

There are three different circuits here in the West, all of which are good for from eight to thirty weeks, with the right kind of acts.
I open on the Crystal circuit Dec. 4. at Denver, Col. Have been on the W. A. Weston Empire circuit for the past twenty weeks, and have
found everything fine. There are lots of Eastern acts out here, and all are making good."
