A THEATRICAL REVIEW.
The Unb0unded Optimism of the
Average Manager.
Bad Business "On the Road" and
Heavy Patronage In New York.

II there are In this world any men who
arc more optimistic than the theatrical
managers, should like very much to mect
them. These gentlemen few weeks ago
were explaining away the awful business
heing done In the smaller cities with tho
time worn argument Of ante-eleotion ex-
element "As soon as the election is
over" they said, "no matter which way
things 80, the business will be better, but
now the people are busy attending polit-
ical meetings and would not come to the
theater even though you were to present
them with free passes. =" So they all hoped
on.
Now, however, the election Is over, and
the business Is not improving with the de-
sired alacrity. That would disconcert most
men, but 1t does not even worry the theat-
rical manager. He explains the present
lack of patronage by pointing TO the reao-
tion which always follows presidential cleo

tions. ,hen besides there Is a knaok OF
putting these facts in the most enticing
form, which most of them do not possess.
1t was the realization of this which brought
the press agent into existence. Gradually
the importance Of this adjunct 70 the
theater grew until he came To be regarded
as one of the indispensables. Rapidly,
too, grew the expectations OF the mana
ger, who felt that when facts were not suf-
ficiently interesting to compel their pub
lication in the papers his press agent
should deal in fiction. And that Is the
present status of tho matter. Fiction Is
what is expected of the press agent The
more fiction the moro salary. The ro-
manoing worked very well, too, for long
time, but gradually it took on such an
Arabian Nightish hue that the public as
well as the newspapers saw through the
thing, and the press agent Is finding that
he has assisted in his own undoing. More's
the pity, too, for In most cases he was o
fellow of infinite Jest and variety.

Vaudeville burlesque, the name by

be known, is not tho gilt edged thing
which ID was a year or two ago. Last sea-

There was nothing which could be consid-
cred delicately suggestive, IL such a thing
were possible. The shows were simply
coarse and DULY filthy. The police OF many
of the cities, for reasons best known to
themselves chose TO permit these disgust
ing exhibitions, but public opinion In
most places has been awakened to such an
extent that the guardians of the peace have
been compelled TO take oognizance OF the
violations of law and decency. Thus 1t
occurs that much which was attractive TO
the habitual frequenters Of the variety re-
sorts has been cut out. Naturally the pat
ronaee Of the low foreheads has fallen of
considerably, and the managers of vaude-
vile burlesque, or many OF them, have
found themselves literally forced against
their will into comparative decency.
The press agent has his legitimate uses.
