Audiences in theaters do not know or
care much about the business side of
stage entertainments. They give little
attention to the plays and the players,
and think but caually of the authors
and The commercial pros
h past season, however, has been
so marked that some consideration of
it's causes may be readable. OF course,
a prime factor was the good trade con-
dition of the country. The people had
none to spend on other than the essen
tials of life. In the secono place the
quality of the diversion provided was
generally excellent. But the more gen.
eral and pleasant reason for the pre-
! ponderance of stage diversions ranging
from mediocrity upward instead OF
downward was that hi business and
profession of the drama had advanced
together in their methods. The old
fashioned managers who posed as pro-
motors of art n protested their devo-
ton so insistently that they could give
small attention to their creditors, have
become scarce. In their places have come
men who conduct their affairs fairly and
squarely. It is their business to make
and sell theatrical entertainments, and
they conduct it generally in ways quite
as respectable and equitable as those
of other commercial traffic. Bad plays
and bad acting have not been abolished
but f1rst-rate material expertly delivered
is more plentiful year by year. Authors
are encouraged by liberal payment. Ac-
tors are paid adequately and surely
Contracts are adhered to. Capital Is
