Are the Lights Too Garish +?

SEATTLE, Dec. 13 1892.
To THE EDITOR: Expressions of a compli-
mentary nature are heard on all sides respect
ing the arrangement and decorations OF the new
Seattle theater, which must be very gratifying
TO Mr.. Saunders, the architect and the other
gentlemen interested in its construction. I
wish, however, to call attention to the manner
OF lighting the stage. Any thoughtful lady in
giving an afternoon reception IL careful to have
the light so shaded and soitened as TO hide the
defects of her complexion, il she have any, and
harmonize the beauty of her surroundings.
Why should stage manager do less? Now, the
electric light unrelieved is more garish and PEN
etratinG than the sun, and brings into promi-
hence many defects of scenery and costumes.
not To speak OF the very countenances of the
players. A badly calked wrinkle is seen and
offends the eye, or stubby black beard pro-
trudes from the meeiy, 'calcimned" counte-
nance of an actor. The illusion is thus lost.
Not every actress has the soft skin and beauti-
ful eyes and features OF Miss Mariowe to with
stand the searching electric light.
Surely this garishness could be avoided by
using Opaque globes and tinted lights. They
would preserve the illusion, which must not be
lost, which is of the utmost consequence TO the
highest enjoyment OF IA piey. Yours, etc,
HENRY LINN.

Salvini Pleased With Seattle.

"If you will say all the kind things you can
about this theater and the people who have
filled 1t during my engagement. you will confer
a favor me-" said Alexanuer Salvini to a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES reporter as he LETT the
stage for his dressing room at the close of the
third act OF the "Three Gusrdsmen" last night
He was at this moment called before the cur
tain. but upon his return he continued enthus.
iasticaIIy: 81 had heard much of Seattle IS
theater town, but this splendid reception and
this beautiful house exceeded my greatest anti
cipatons. Some people speak of the wild and
woody West" but nowhere have / found more
appreciative audiences, quick to perceive the
delicate points of acting and generous TO APP
plaud than here Such audiences make an
actor work. / have never atriven harder to
please ;han in the i've performances here. The
audiences, the beautiful theaIer with its many
conveniences, have pleased my entire company.
The acoustics and lighting OF the stage Of this
house are also excellent"

"A Season OF Opera ut Cordray's.

cient on the road. Maj. c. F. Riggs, who closed
the engagement with Mr.. Beede, speaks In q
very modest way about his combination 81 do
not wish it announced to the people OF Seattle"
said the major, SHAT our company is one of the
finest in the United States, nor that it over
shadows all that have hitherto APP
pcared here. What do claim for it
is that the people have been selected
with great care and judgment and under very
advantageous circumstances. What with the
disbandment of the Emma Abbott, Emma Juch,
Carleton and Hess-Strockarsh companies, Mr..
Skunk, the proprietor, and myself had very fine
material from which to organize. For its size,
believe Seattle people will concede that our
company is one Of the best, If not the best, in
points of ensemble, compactness and talent, in
the country" Patrons of Cordray's cannot but
appreciate the enterprise shown in this new
venture, and as present prices will obtain dur
ing the stay of the company here the attraction
will have still greater Significance.

road traffic. These are all important
subjects, and by means Of the agitation
Of them in the public prints, the people
will become better informed as to the
facts.
The railroad msgnates have decided to
try and have the interstate commerce
law changed. The presidents Of num-
Der Of the leading railroads have within
week appeared before the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce, sssnd
asked for a change in the law that will
allow the railroads to form a pool to
regulate traffic. the terms Of the pool to
be approved by the interstate commits
sion. II this change is made, the rail
roads will soon have the contlo lol of the
commission, and thus thwart the will of
the people. 1t is being shrewdly manip-
ulated in the public prints with view
10 influence public opinion in it's favor.
It will require united action to prevent
these railroad msnipulstors from accom-
plishing their purpose.
Another deep-laid plan is being care
fully brought out, and that is the con-
tinustion Of the national bank by issuing
2 per cent. bonds to be used as a basis
for their currency issues, and also that OF
state banks, which are to be allowed to
start up after the tax is taken of. Finan-
cisl men realize. however, that the tenn
per OF the people will compel them to go
slow in carrying out their schemes to
perpetuste their power. The people must
not relax their Efforts to break down the
that controls the finance of
the nation. Eternel vigilance alone will
secure freedom from this powerful con-
troll The prejudices Of eastern people in

only be overcome by educatioo, since
most people accept their idea Of financial
only from bankers, whose

BAY HEAD, N. j., July 31.-John L. Sulli-
van, in reply to question a. to his COM
ing fight with Jim Corbett said: "Fll lick
that fellow in twenty minutes sure, and I'm
al good man too day physically as I ever
was in my life" The champion now
weighs 220 pounds, just three pounds more
than when he fought Jake Kilrain. Sulli-
van says thst the coming battle will be the
greatest business transaction of his life.
and for that matter he is more than ever
anxious to bring it to . successful termna-
ton. Aside from the $45.O00 in cash de-
pending upon the result. he expects his
book to bring in large revenue; also the
new play which he intends to produce for
the first time next September.
