THE MIMIC WORLD.
MidweeB Notes of Business at
the Different Houses.
Lent Thins Some Of the Auditoriums-Pro-
duction Of The Exiles"-The Songs
in robin Hood"

We presume that the rather meager at
tendance at all the theaters, with the ex-
ceptiOn of the New California. which pre-
sented the usual congested auditorium to
see Mr. Hoyt's "rhe Texas Steer" must be
attributed to the fact that this is the last
week in lent, and Ash Wednesday was in
order. Year by year, as the community
enlargeS, there seems to be greater
disposition on the part Of its
more conservative members, Of what
ever persuasion, to observe the
fasts OF the church. Managers will begin
to make note OF the lenten time in their
contracts. That the "Steer" is such draw,
in the face of the religious season, must be
ascribed to The novelty and freshness of its
construction-which is really succession OF
surprises-and attracts all our floating
population, as well as those who take very
broad views of theology and of the disci-
pline of the church with which they may
happen to be connected. 1t is a fayorite fad
with some to draw tine church and the stage
together; but this can only be done at the
expense of the latter, we fear.
