HIGH nA1s IN 1HsA1REs.
a Manager Attributes the Nuisance to I'm

perfections In the Playhouse.
Some people contend that the evil OF
high hats is aggravated considerably by
the defects of our theatres, where suffi-
Gent slope Is not given to the rows OF
seats, said a well known Nsw York
manager. In an ideal playhouse each
spectator should be able to have an n
interrupted view OF the stage. 1t was so
in all the Roman amphitheatres, and
also on the Greek stage, owing to the
height Of the platform where the per-
formers moved and breadth of the space
given to the chorus, who occupied the
ground we cover with orchestra and
stalls. Some of the newly erected
theatres in this city are much better off
in this respect than the older houses.
By way of contrast, look at the con-
veniences proposed in a new London
playhouse. The visitor will find his
allotted sea a center of convenience and
comfort. On cold nights he is to have a
hot water bottle to his feet. He will
drop a penny into n slot on the left, and
out will pop a bill of the play. BY de-
livering q shilling into an aperture on
