THE JEWS AS PATRONS OF ART.
Times and Observer.

1T would be invidlous, perhaps, to CLASH
fy the patrons of the thcators and of the
opera house according to their religious
tcnois. but II must be admitted that tho
love FOR music aud the drama Is more
generally characteristic of some races
than of Others Every thcat.r-goor and
every manager knows that among the
beat patrons of tho higher classes OF
nmusemonts in this city the first place
must be accorded to the jewish people.
FIFTY years ago, when Italian opera was
first introduced into New York It failed.
because there was only small Jewish
population In the metropolis Mt that time
IT would fail even now but for Jewish
support. Even the theatcrs would suffer
in their prosperity to an astonishing de-
gree II Jewish patronage should he with
drawn. Not only are the Jowp Intelligent
lovers of music and the drama. but they
ara paying patrons such II thing n dead
headism being almost unknown among
them
Were Il not for the Jews and their lib-
"rrl patronage OF the places of afnuse-
meit-a patronage that II guided by re-
markahle taste and excellent Judgment
half the number of ihraiers would he sui
| iiricnt for the needs Of the people. IT
follows aH consequence that ono-half OF
the amusement patronage comes from the
| jews This II "A remarkable showing, but
| II Is due not only 10 the inherent love OF
art which belongs to the Jewish people.
| but TO the manner in which II IS incul-
| Gated IN every Jewish mouse. Jewish pa
