SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

Do4h I4 lAN E. lhNNr F INT
 These are days of enormous expen- allure for elaborate stage presenta- tions. However, when statements are given out, in the event of the produc- tion of a new play, that $75,000 has been expended and vast number of people employed in it's preparation, it is gener- ally viewed simply as the product of a fertile press agents brain for advertis- ing purposes. A brief and honest men tion of facts anent of some of the pro ductions of the past year Is herewith submit ted.
 Ben Hur" cost Messrs. Klaw & Err langer it's producers and managers an outlay of $100,000 before performance had been reached "The Price of Peace,' the English melodrama brought out in this country last spring by Jacob Lit, cost MT. Lit $60000. E. H. Sotherns elaborate revival of Ham let' was an expenditure of nearly all his profits from previous undertakings. Eighty thousand dollars was invested by Richard Mansfield for "Cyrano de Bergerac." Across the Pacific" Charles Blaney's latest melodrama, re- qured S30,000 for it's production. These are positively authentic figures. To sum up, in brief, theatrical managers plunge heavily, as rule, on any play that wins their conviction as piece of valuable play property.
