AS man OF business he has the right
to discontinue the account of any one who
does not bring him profit. The Baldwin
Theater has cost him 500 600 in The last
two seasons, he says. MIR. Bouvier told me
that the first protita bic show The BALDWIN
had housed IN fourteen months was 1.-The
Heart of Maryland" There are moments
when San Francisco may be called lay
with painful accuracy. Mr.. Frohman
saws that Henry Irving played a short sea-
season here to a business OF $50 600, and
that he FrohmanHayman profits on the
season were exactly $3.50. II this be true
1t was due to bad business management.
The Irving season at the Grand Opera
house broke Irving's American record.
There was not sardlne space during the
engagement. His managers knew the
capacity of the house, the prices, the fiji
fulness of tie people. Yet, the then
Mr." Irving exceeded the most sanguine
expectations; and $3.50 was the sum profit.
Thi@ should go on record as one OF Mr..
Frohman's errors rather than as one of
ours.

In Mr.. Powers Chinatown melodrama
San Francisco returns Mr.. Frohman a
kiss for blow. 1.-The First Bornn has
sold out the Manhattan Theater seats
for several weeks in advance; The Cat
and the Cherub" has been taken down at
Hammerstein's; the people are engaged
by the curious little play; and for the
mos. part the critics have been kind
without being gushing.
Mr.. Winter of the Tribune saws: ut is
the absence of any striving after effect
that makes Mr.. Powers little play so
effective. The acting of the principal
mem bers OF the cast Is characterized by
the same restraint that influenced the
making of the play.
Mr.. Dithmar describes the piece
without much comment and says, in
his review in the Times: "a party
of white devils is Summing in
Chinatown that night. The spectator
feels that he is one of the party, and en-
joys special privileges" The Herald
praises both "The First Born" and "A
Night Session." the farce which Peter
Robertson adapted from the French, and
which precedes Powers play on the bill

unquestionable." says the Herald notice.

EMPEROR FROTIMAN,
THE SYNDICATE AND OTHER
THEATRICAL CURIOSITIES.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Mr.. FrohmaD is not unexpected Earlier
in the year II was hinted that San Fran
cisco was 30 be wiped off the Frohman
map. The Eastern season has started
with every outlook of opulence for the
theatrical syndicate. The syndicate does
not care for petty gam bling; 1t wants large,
sure things San Francisco has never
been a sure thing; above every thing else
she is a coy, capricIous playgoer. Mr.
Frohman of the syndicate is busy, huSi-
ness man, with neither time nor instinct
nor money Tor Irritation. II, as he says,
he can rent his old plays, that bag at the
knees. to The cheap stock companies of
San Francisco-to the stock companies of
the Columb bia, Alcazar, Morosco's and
Orpheum theaters-and collect fat royal
ties. tGen Why should he send John Drew
or the Empire Theater Company across
the plains at an expense of 5000 for the
trip? There is no stock company at the
Orpheum, but Mr Frohman does not care
whether there is or not. He says the
people of San Francisco like cheap shows
the critics like cheap shows, and write for
} their newspapers that the local stock
companies give cheap performa noes
which ara better than Mr.. Frohnan's ex-
pensive offerings. Hereafter" says Mr..
Frohman, ''instead of sending my COM
panies across the plains, 1 will open the
season-in London with them"
As I said before, Mr.. Frohman is not
unexpected. While he was in London
last season he cabed to the New York
Herald a column and haIt of personal
history and forecast. Mr.. Frohman was
flushed with the success OF William Gill
lette's "Secret Service at the Aeelphi,
and his jubilant dispatch said that he had
been offered the management of one of
the biggest theaterS in London, had
secured regular seasons at the Adelphi,
Vaudeville and Garrick theaters, and was
only waiting for the consent OF Daniel
Frohman and AL Hayman and other
brothers of the blood and syndicate to
transfer the center of his operations to
the English capital. Nor did Mr.. Froh-
mans Napoleonic am bitiOn stop with
England. He was giving some attention,
he SAID, to q branch enterprise in Paris,
where Sarah Bernbardt would be OF
service TO him in the capacity OF partner
or agent. and he might be induced 10 i'll
clude Berlin in the grand circuit. These
theaters all were 20 be devoted to the pro-
ductlon of American plays. rendered into
French and German for Mr.. Frohman' s
Continental subjects and into English for
the followers of his four London plav-
houses. This, of course, would leave Mr.
Frohman very little time for New York
TO say nothing of such distant American
provinces as San Francisco.
~
Now Charles Frohman and Daniel
Frohman and Al Hayman are the big
trinity of the syndicate. The other gem
tlemen who are in on the combination
are Messrs. Klaw and Granger, Messrs
Rich and Harris, Mr.. Nerdlinger and
Mr.. Zimmerman. These managers con-
troll nine tenths of the frst-ciass theatri-
cal attractions OF the country. Fifty of
