should be delighted to see first class
stock company in our city again, and In
the course of time We shall doubtless
see il. But San Francisco cannot sup
port more than one stock conplav. and
the variety OF attractions c.lled fog BIZ
the public cannot. u11ar such an al
arrangement, be presented IL any one the
ater. The stock company and gne co o.
binatIon are anfag snIstic. bat In2snu ID
| as the evils of the latter have been
pretty we'll removed. .dere can be no
reason Why special organic alton for dis
tine. performances should not be- en-
c0ara2eo. One cannot expec: comic
opera 10 be given by A local c0'npanv.
Burlesque Is impossible except bv well
drilled and complete examinations.
The lighter class Of entertainment. Is
one for which the taste OF the public
never really dies ont, and those descrip-
| tions of theatrical peri Drmauces are
only perfect after months of working
together. The combination system is
an indispensable factor in theatrical en-
tertainment. bot cheas drama combina-
tion-the oae p.ecs combination OF all
kinds-can be dispensed with. Every
encourage neut may bs given to the
stock company idea in this town. The
public were never SO kindly disposed
TO or 80 warmly interested in the
theaters az when the old California
Company was in its place-when tie
faces changed not too frequently, but
frequently enough. Bot the future of
San Francisoo is to be entirely altered
BY the development of the country. Az
one-veek stand it is possibly the best
show town in the United States. It is
not four week town, though occasion
al attractions have played that time. In
the East there are few II any cities cap
able OF supporting one play or one COM
pany more than two veeka Thare- aa
mere, phenomenal enpaoements ara
played. But the advantage theatrical
managers and companies there have r.
that they can run into Boston. Cbioaoo.
fhlladelphia, or any Of the larger pia,
cee, play one week or two veeka. inmn
oof and play three months around the
country and find themselves In the cen
trai city again. In the near future this
may be the position of San Francisoo.
In the immediate future San Franoisco
Will be place which the biggest com
Panies can afford TO visit for one vel.
and arrangements are alvavs nosaihle
70 extend successful enaacementa.
There 10 Q vague idea ia the puhiic
mind that No are 5000 miles from auv-
where, that there are miles ON milee Of
waste railroad travel before any town
70 reached in which an audiences Large
enough to pay can Be drawn. It Win
astonlsh many people to know that q
theatrical company can come all the
way from New York 70 San Francisco
and &c back and only miss giving two
Minstrels have Just come through BY
