st. Paul is Never Entirely Stsgnant-Be-
cause Our City Is Itsslf Summer Resort
But We Need a Garden Theaier-The
Chicago Church Choir This week--Out-
side Notes.
The Rice park concerts have proved'so en-
joyable during the week that the idea of a
summer theater naturally suggests itself.
Variety is the spice OF life, and it is solely for
the sake Of variety that many people leave st.
Paul during the summer. The necessity for
leaving town, which is alleged to exist IN
other cities, does not exist here. The people
have aright to change their place of residence
if they SO desire, but it should not be consid
cred as incumbent upon them to do so; for ST.
Paul Is itself a summer resort. When travel
ers from the heated cities below Us reach St.
Paul, they feel that they are already
beyond the reach of sunstrokes, and they fire.
quently eyince an inclination to tarry here for
a little rest before plunging into the mad
whirl OF fashion at the lake hatels. Notwith-
standing the vast volume of business annually
transacted here, st. Paul almost invariably
impresses the summer tourist as being neat
and reposeful city, no less than progressive
and substantial one, and there are numbers Of
strangers who feel 10 desire to hasten from
such place for the outrageous mounds of
Minnetonka, where the mosquito roareth and
the woodtick mourneth. It is not here
Intended TO detract from the glories OF
fresh water. This is the amusement column,
and must begin, like charity, at home. The
drama fourishes best in cities; and it has
been noticed by dramatic editors, who have
to remain in cities when the theaters are
closed, that many people who go after
variety would readily return for the same OBJ
ject were proper inducements held out.
Pleasure seekers at all sorts of watering places
have frequently been astonished to find how
full they conld get OF watering place sport
in single week. It is like see voyage.
you have danced once, sailed
once, rowed once, and caught
one Shiny string of fish, got sunburnt once,
and grown filed with fleas once, home begins
to pull like Ia seven pound pickerel at your
heart strings; and you would go to St. Paul
and stick the summer through, ii it were only
the custom to do SO. 1t would get to be the
fashion to do so, If we had q
simmer theater. It ought to be very beau
tiful and perfect place of amusement though,
in order to attract people from the neighbor-
ing lakes, asd TO gain the patronage of tran
sient guests. It should be temple, grand in
point OF architecture, and so gorgeous in re-
spect of fittings to both stage and auditorium
for it. The next thing IN order is summer
theater, built on scale of maguifcence that
characterizes many of the structures recently
erected in st. Paul.
