Excellence vs.. Mediocrity.

Whether a stock company or star
company Is to he the company of the
future is at present vital question
TO those interested in matters the
atrlcal. Once upon time a company
that had not star was not worth
going to see. transformers had to
boast one transformer who ranted
above the Others. A little while
later company that was all on a
higher level OF excellence and did
without a star, entered the field.
Now both companies furiOusly rage
together like the heather, both
clamoring for the public favor, and
both claiming victory.
\ star company lives by its star.
1t is like the Presbyterian Church
all are very fine when you have a
tirst-class minister, but drearY as a
twice-told tale when you have 4 dull
one. If your star is a genuine star,
beaming, and flashing, and steadily
shining, then he can shine alone, and
the world will not think twice about
his satellites. But il he is a second.
rate star, then you feel that the stock
company idea is a great deal the bet
ter of the two.
The taste of the modern has for
some time run to stock companies.
People want everything on a medium
level of unvarying excellence, the
majority not being up to the point OF
appreciating a star, and yet being
above the point where they can toler-
ate a wretched support Besides, the
stock companies took to giving form
of entertainment dear to the cotem-
poraneous heart "a drawing-roou
play.

There was not ali iron nail found abou'
