THE ARTISTS Ell DoRADo-New York is de
cidedly the Ell Dorado Of foreign artists, and
the same liberal spirit seems to extend all over
the United States. The generosity Of Aneri
cans is proverbial, and we spend more money
for amusements-theatrical, operate, and 80
Sorth-than any other nation on the face of the
earth. The consequence is that we get all the
best artists from Europe. along with some o.
the second best. They are all rewarded, how
ever, according to their deserts-sometimes
better.
In the best part Of the season the receipts OF
all the Partisan places of amusement are never
over seven hundred thousand francs per month,
while 1t our regular theatres four thousand
dollars night is the average, which would
make nearly as much from our theatres alone
leaving concerts, balls, short opera seasons, and
80 forth, out of the question. Far away on the
Pacific coast, in San Francisco, they have paid
much more for amusements, in proportion to
the population, than the gay French capital.
And so 1t will be apparent that New York is
much better place for artists than London or
Paris. We have supported three full opera
co ppanies here at one time sH1 every variety
