Apropos of the organization of sum-
mer stock companies for the smaller
cities during the regime of the roof
gardens in the metropolis, the New
York Mail and Express says:
1t is a curious and a wholesome fact
this unprecedented growth in the num-
Der of summer companies organized
for the road. Until within a very few
years no pretentious dramatic venture
was attempted between the metropoli-
tan seasons; no great New York attrac-
ton dared to take the road with COM
peny OF well-favored and well-paid
players Such enterprises as were
launched were inferior in character
and in professional material.
All this is changed. Today we see
responsible New Yorl: managers as
sernbling first-class stock companies
and arranging repertoires made up of
plays which have profitably served
leading stars and favorite city theaters.
These are located mainly in the smaller
Western cities-which are frequently in
tkis way given far more satisfactory
entertainment than during the winter
season-and at prominent summer re-
sorts

"A Railroad Ticket is familiar to

incidents attending ticket brokerage
