Money Made by Popular Plays.

A Minnesota paper having denied state

mans numerous companies cleared an aggre-
gate of 100000 in forty weeks season this

Suppose that the gross receipts OF twelve sue

would be S2.016,000. There are several

FrOllman's Way.

AS is the case with managers generally,
Charles Frohman is bothered by opportunities
to put ON the stage unried women who desire
10 'act," but naturally hesitaIes TO do so, be-
cause one bungling actress in a company may
ruin the entire play. Dramatic aspirants> who
have been recommended by prominent per-
sonages, from Senators of the United States TO
Police Commss toner's in Mulberry street, have
been on MIR. Frohman's list for two years. In
The MasQueraders" are a number of scenes
which call for the appearance OF women who
are supposed TO be OF high social position.
Instead OF hiring "supers" for these parts Mr..
FrObman punched all the dramatic aspIr-
ants together alked 10 them seriously and
al length about their department on the stage
and the opportunity which this play would give

ale from prominent families socially In Louis
Vile, Chicago, Washington, Cincinnati and
other cities and they have all been accustomed
TO well-to-do surroundings and know how to
wear good clothes. An astonishing amount of
.mOney was expended on their costumes and the
result Is altogether unusual aud thoroughly
successful. Besides they are all on the stage at
