persons should be wooed to the play
house. In them is the making of a
specialized audience-an audience for
fine, distinguished plays and play act
ing. You cannot educate these-the
thinking classes-with theatricals
whose virtues are cheapnesS. You
must teach them that in the theater is
to be found diversion-real cerebral
diversion. To my mind there is no in
| tellectual diversion finer and more sat
isfying than that of sitting at a good
play well acted; for the play writer, if
he knows his business, does all for you
that the book writer can do, and does
1t sooner; and the actor. if he knows
his business, by supplying the personal
color and the imagination does for you

owned by any syndicate; it is at lib

With the closing of the year the prin-

Friedlander, GOttlob & Co., and in
stead of taking our drama of an East

monopoly. The experiment will be in
teresting. 1 hope we are not out of the
frying pan into the fire. hope the new

SO performances for 81 80 and 81 per
fOrmances for 81. It has been said be-
fore in these columns, and even before
that by Mr.. Frohman-and it is re-
ferred to with due modesty-that San
Francisco has all the cheap shows she
wants. The town is full of them. We
can better stand for something ex-
pensive, exorbitant, 50 long as it differs
in quality from the ordinary run sup
piled week in and week out by the
smaller theaters.
The smaller theaters-the Tivoli
the Alcazar, the Orpheum, the Grand
are really inimicaI to the theatrical
vitality of the town. They are too
good and they are not good enough.
That is, they are not sufficiently be-
meath the usual class of Eastern
theatricals to make that class an OBJ
ject to the careless theatergoer, and
they are not so equal to it that the
painstaking playgoer willingly would
give up all hope of seeing Eastern
companies. Say what you will in

often in community as small as this,
where nearly everybody attends nearly
all the theaters and a play seldom en-
dures longer than fortnight We need
them, not only for what pleasure they
may give directly, but for the good
they may do our own shows by way
of a change in ourselves. But of
course these Eastern attractions that
come must be of higher value than
our own or else they will have made
a long journey to but short profit and
will go back to their METROPOLITAN
homes and circulate spiteful re-
marks about the West We
need something that is new,

You never knew a dramatic critic who
did not know more about the econom-
