0HE fortunes of the attractions on the
road seem TO be working out ON the
just principle OF honor to Whom honor
is due. The good plays, with actors
in them who can act, are doing eX2
CeptiOnal business. The poor plays and
poor actors are already drenChed 10y the
spray of the waves of bankruptcy which
are oyertaking them. Some managers.
with taste and tact in the Judgment oftheir
wares, are coming money, and others with
no sufficient eX cuSc for demanding the pub
lies dollars, are deep in distress. Acting
upon the falaCiouS principle that what
New York likes the rest of the country must
have, u number OF GOthaIn's vaudeville
fads have been sent on tour. LaStwinterthe
voraciouS appetite of the New York press
for novelties made possible the sensational
putting OF every new performer who came
from abroad, and the gulIible New Yorker
fell in with his newspapers and paid by
the thousands to see Guilbert. Loe Fuller
Chevalier, Fregoli, Maggie Cline, Lock
hartS Elephants, and others. These indi-
vidualS mstook the attentions they received
at the hands of the newspapers and the
pocketbooks of the public, as the magne-
uSm of their own greatness instead OF the
artificial stimulus placed by the press on Il
susceptible public. Managers agreed with
the performers, and with the Sauce-for-thc-
-for-the -gandcr proverb in mind.
iildt bIlt EOdu NOulO swallow
what New York had bitten. The result is
a matter of evidence. The LoCkhart Ele-
plants packed their trunks and Went back
TO New York before a tenth Of their twenty
one weeks tour was completed. Maggie
Cline has played. to enough people in each
week to fill a gOod-Sized thcater com
fortably on one night. Loie Fuller and
Guilbert went across the country last year
on flying one night tour and the hackers
paid the balance. Fregoli closed after a
few weeks of read experience Chevalier
signs when he sees his mcager audiences.
and wonders at the disparity between his
triumph in New York and his fall on the
road. Sandow, another nine days wonder,
bit the dust of defeat SO early in the season
that he is forgotten.
The moral of this little tale of woe is
that We're not the tail that New York
wags. There's good and sufficient reason
for all these failures. Guilbert was con-
summate artist, but the insincere people
who pretended to understand her, when
they didn't, were not numerous enough out
of New York to make her tour prosper

well, but it is particularly marked in the
