The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-05-19


With the presentation Of Miss
Hobbs" at the Lyceum last night the
regular season at that house ended.
The Academy of Music will close its
doors after tonight's performance.
Both houses have had very successful
seasons, and did the largest business
in their histories.
The Academy of Music season has
heen especially satisfactory, and it Is
estimated that no city in the country
of the size of Scranton had a greater
number OF persons attending popular
priced entertainments.
At the Lyceum some of the best at
fractions known to the theatrical
world were presented. These did not
always draw as large an audience as
their merits entitled them to, but on
the whole the lessees of the Lyceum
are congratulating themselves on the
success of the season.
Scrantonians often fail to give su-
perior theatrical attractions the pat
ronage that should be awarded them,
and this is regrettable, because it
initiates against securing the best the
stage affords. The theatrical business,
like every other business that succeeds,
is founded on strict business laws, and
when a show that costs its managers
a lot of money to produce draws a
house that sometimes fails to do
more than meet expenses here.
1T is not to be wondered that
they would hesitate to send their ven
lures this way again. A nicer discrim-
inatlon in the way of patronizing the
best attractions will do much to i'm
prove Scrantons standing in the theat-
rical world, with a general average of
better class attractions as a result.
MANAGER LONGS SUCCESS.
