pecMy when New York ought 10 have been RECOVERING
from it's headache after the dissipation on New Years
day the Jam tremendous that hundreds Of people
turned away from every theatre and mustrel haa
IN the city, and the receipts by far the largest of
The We congratulate the managers upon
this pleasant II Affairs, and the public upon The
prosperous condition OF liz finances. We sbaI expect
arnusemonis improve this year greatly the
sadences have improved. We have patience and no
mercy for mansrcrs become pompcred with pros-
poriy grow careless Of taking any pains 70 please
pnbc which Is 80 easily grathed. The fact Of tho
is that managers and actors In this country have
altogether too easy times Of ~ They are accustomed
only 10 applause and the beautiful and noble art Of h
Spg has been totally forgotten among We frost sA
10 this art revived and udciously practsed n n
tho undoubted right Of actor be applsudel hs
docs well. 10 Is also the rnfoubed right OF She audi
enco to hiss performer i he does badly Hitherto only
the right OF tho actor 70 be appaudsd has been rccor
nizod and acknowledged The right " the audience
now he asserted and exercised.
As for managers, thsre considerable reform
Tor them 10 make, and that they have M
longer the poverty shall expect to sec thsss
reforms nangurated We rcocc say that the scenery
OF almost every theatre w ths city almost unexcspon
able The accommodations for the public, however,
open criticism. AZ Sihlo's Garden fence ID
placed the lobby that the audiences tn
theatre they enter ~, In single ne, This Is neon
venient and absurd. Manager wheaey win step Into
viaIacks or tho winter Garden he will soc how iron
ratings should he managed. Then, again, tho
private boxes Al several Of our theatres arc
cold and damp ard people Induced pay pccs
forthc sake of catching the diphcra In almost all shs
theatres the orchestra chairs closely crowded
s,hcr that ladies' dresses ruined and persons pass
and rcpass only by kicking each others shns add tread
,ng on each others toes In more lively thN
agreeable .ry cents extra for discomfort" should b
the for orchestra chairs We advise the
managers 10 make their crchestrss larger 70
half the seats in tho parquct for n seems that pcopo
oil have reserved scas nowadays, unless those nai-
ssuces drive them out Of tho notion altogether
An Of the theatres except Niblos have change oSpro
vramme this week. AT Nibo's the spectacular burlesqus
Of aFsus, and Marguerite stil keeps the stagc but ID
no, doing well as was expected and IS s really bsau
,rul scenery aud wonderful mechanical enects de- ~
The reason Of this evidently that the dialogue very
badly written up and that Mr. j. p Roberts gives VERY
unsatisfactory rendition Ct the psrt Of Ncpssophscs.
