THE PASSING SHOW.

The curtain of the Lafayette Theatre
last night dropped on what Is without
any exception the most successful season
and in some respects the most remark
able, too-that any local theatre has en-
joyed for some time, for when the Berger
organization was first introduced at the
beginning of the theatrical year lust end
ed there were many who predicted failure
for the scheme to give Washingtonians
good performances at practically popular
prices. The stock company idea had been
tried with varying degrees of success at
several of the local playhOuses after the
finish of the regular season but that one
organization could occupy the same stage
during an entire year was considered pre-
posterous by many. Yet Mr. Berger had
observed the plans OF stock company man
ayers in various other cities and was
firmly convinced that Washington really
wanted an organization that would pre-
sent good plays in satisfactory manner
and at considerably less than the other
houses charged for seats. The result of
the first years effort shows how accu-
rately Mr.. Berger had the situation sized
up. II is announced that during the en-
tire season-covering forty weeks-there
were but two or three weeks when there
was not a balance on the right side of
the books.
When the late Mr.. Painter. the manager
and proprietor of the Lafayette Theatre
was approached two years ago by theat-
rical managers who believed that Wash
ington would support a stock company.
and a proposition was made to him to
turn his house into a stock house. he
would not consider the project for a mo-
ment He was at the time conductinr.
very vigorous and honest warfare against
the theatrical syndicate. 1t hardly mat
tiers at this late day that he was defeated
at almost every point and that the at
fractions he was compelled to book to
keep his theatre open We're in most in
stances of very mediocre kind-plays
that Were distinctly disappointing to the
Iafayette's regular patrons The fight
against the syndicate was very disheart-
ening to Mr.. Painter and it was perhaps
on this account that he was willing to
listen to Mr.. Berger's plans for establish
ing stock company. Mr. Berger and Mr.
Painter were personal friends. The the
atre owner had great confidence in Mr.
Berger and admired him a man and
reasoned that with his extensive expe-
rience as the manager of Sol Smith Rus
sell he should understand the theatrical
business. with its manifold little turns
uncommonly wen. Hence when the late
proprietor of the Lafayette and Mr. Ber-
ger discussed the project of a permanent
organization the former Immediately saw
the matter In a new light He was shown
that the house might retain its fashion
able following even III the prices of ad-
mission were reduced considerably. II
was Mr.. Painters fear that his theatre
might be considered q cheap theatre more
than anything else, perhaps. that had
