Mr.. Augustin DAILY is constantly trying limo
vations. His system Of tickets makes it i'm
possible for anybody TO enter his theatre whom
he does not wish there. and the sitting of the
audience is matter purely of his own volition
1t is q great thing for a manager to reach such
point that people practically beg him to be
! admitted. 1t is said that the near future
/ Mr.. Daily intends another important innova-
| tion-that he proposes 10 make no announce
ment whatever of what his programme will be.
| HIS announcement, SO rumor says, will simply
carry the information that Mr.. Days com
pany will appear, the choice Of the play remain
ing entirely with the manager. 1t is safe to say
| that even under these circumstances New York
will rush and be satisfied with whatever he
| gives them. But it will certainly mark new
era in theatrical history -NelO York Morning
