THE ARTICLE OF THEATRICAL PRINTING JOBS
Our contemporary of the Mirror suggests that the
job printing of the theatres should be given to
the lowest bidders. We concur with him in this
suggestion, and hope it may be carried out to its
fullest extent. We also have no objection what
ever if the managers should cut off another item
of wasteful expenditure of moneys by ceasing
to advertise in papers which have no circulation
beyond few hundred Or thousand copies. Come,
gentlemen managers, to the work.
Another reform we would suggest Cut off
all the free lists of the press and make all the
editors and attaches pay at the doors, as all the
rest of the public do, and then we may have in
dependent theatrical criticisms
