shows certainly bad hard lines, but the
business done then in many cases appears
positively prosperous beside what Is being
done now.
An acquaintance, who is ono OF the
shrewdest managers in tho country, told
me a few days ago that in all his expert
cnce thcre had never been anything like
1t. Enterprises which yielded fair profits
even last year are now losing money, al
though the promise of better times has had
the effect OF causing him to improve the
productions. This man Is manager OF
small attractions, and his opinion Is more
valuable than that of tho hoavy operators,
who only skim tho surface Although tho
season has scarcely opened the road is al
ready strewn with wrecks, and many more
ore likely to follow, unless all signs fail.
IL is not, however, the "little fellows
alone who are being hit hard, If Dame Ru-
NOR speak true, and the garrulous old
shrcw Is having so much TO say that she
eompcls at least limited credence. Sew
eral pretentious enterprises have either
come to grief already or are just on the
ragged edge. A case I'm point is 1.-THE City
OF Pleasure" OF which Charles and Daniel
Frohman both thought 30 much that they
formed copartnership for Its production
and put II on mt the high toned Empire
theater on Broadway, where the price for
an orchestra chair Is 81. A magnificent
caH was given tho piece, which was ca
tensively doomed and its success was re-
Rarded as practically assured. 1t was pro-
duced and proved an ont and out frost.
After a vicarious career of n couple OF
weeks IL was sensibly withdrawn. 1t Is
generally admitted that as Decourcolles
originally wrote the play for French audi
encos 1t was probably pretty good melo-
drama, but the Englishing of the piece had
been intrusted to lights o. London"
George r. Sims, with the result that the
Empire theater audiences laughed immod-
erately at what were intended to be the
pathetic portions.
To show how fallible managers are II
may be mentioned that Charles Frohman
also has the American rights to 1.-The
Sporting Duchess {" an English concoction
the motif of which is amply demonstrated
by the title. This was considered proba-
bio winner, but not "a great big thing"
l.ko "The City of Pleasure" But an ex-
oeptionally strong list O. people was en-
gngcd, and the pieco was produced at tho
big cosmopolitan Academy of Music, where
the best seat brings only 81. This house
has such an enormous seating capacity
that it has very seldom been really packed
during the last few years, but 1t is stated
upon good authority that despite the ex-
ccssively hot weather which has prevailed
almost continuously since the production
of 1.-THE Sporting Duchess" very heavy
business has been done, and during the
few let ups on the part of the thermometer
people have actually been turned away.
Il other words, 1.-THE Sporting Duchess"
