THE DRAMA.


AN APPEAL TO CULTIVATED PEOPLE
| The minstrels again did the best business o1
the week, though the large number OF yislto1s
fn town from the country made better times at
all the regular places Of amusement. It is be-
coming q serious question whether the honest
critic ought to upbratd the public for not patron
izing IS they deserve the legitimate theatres, or
the "legitimate" managers for not catering
properly to the tastes Of the public. At least
one manager in town has the meanB to satisfy
the requirements Of the most exacting class OF
theatre-goers. Mr. Hall, of the New Chicago
Theatre. is the man. He ia not altogether to
blame for not having achieved more than par
tia1 SUCCESS up to the present time. The apathy
OF the public in the early part OF the season Was
mainly 1esponaible for the small success
of the opening week. Still. it must be
said that the management of the theatre
has not been free from errora. The se-
lection Of "Tom penrTn" as an opening
piece Was unfortunate, aud the production Of
"Paulino II last week was not the best thing that
could have been done under the circumstances.
Chicago is NOT Philadelphia. nor are the patrons
OF Chicago theatres that cultivated class which
supports the best organizations of the East.
The traditions Of management which prevail in
philadelphia, to which hfr. Hall adheres some
what too vigorously, must be modified TO meet
the peculiar e1igencles OF the present case. We
are glad to notice evidences of improvement in
this respect at the New Chicago Theatre. though
it is no compliment to Chicago OF the dramatic
taste Of her people that company OF artists
should be put at the inferior work which ID
promised for the present week. The 1nteu-
tion manilestly is to fir the attention OF
the public first, and educate it afterwards:
aud this is the proper course to pnsaue. OF
course it would be : ridiculous blunder TO Is
