Angels Are scarcer Than Ever

The Atlanta Journal calls attention to the
fact that the theatrical season there will
open later this fall by several weeks than
for many years past. There are several
reasons for this" 1t goes on to say. '1n
the first place. there will be fcwer attrac-
tions out this year than usual. Many of
the managers are not in financial condition
to take the road without backing and
angels are scarcer now than ever before.
The theatrical business has not been as
profitable for the past few years as for
merry, and men Of money hesitate about
risking 1t in theatrical ventures"

Another Romantic Drama

Mr.. and Mrs. Russ Whytal have arrived
in New York after five months absence
in Europe. Speaking of his plans for next
season, Mr.. Whytal said to Mirror repre-
sentative: 1T am not believer in early
openings, and I shall not begin our tour be-
fore November. We shall make radical
departure from the style of play OF For
Fair Virginia. this season, believing that
there will be enough war plays on the
theatrical market without adding to their
number, though may put For Fair Vir-
ginia" out later in the season If hnd the
public is war-play mad-whch doubt.
"Our new play will be romantic costume

tai and myself It's name? Well. I'm not
sure myself. cannot bring myself to de-
eide between two very good titles, which
have been hesitating between for months.

AS for Blanche Bates, who was so ex-
