According to Mr.. Lifts own statement
Minneapolis cannot have f1rst-class the.
alter until he permits it to open and boob
attractions. This is rather a cool and
autocratic presentation Of the case, and
one which will scarcely be relished by
those citizens who consider that If a city
can support a good theater it has a right
to possess it,
l. The fact that Mr.. Lift considers the
"chief fault Of the Metropolitan to be its
shallow stage shows how absurd it is to
have Minneapolis theater owned and
leased by citizen Of Milwaukee ana man
aged by a citizen of st. Paul
Mr.. Lift need have no doubts as to the
willingness Of private parties to invest
their money" in the proposed new theater.
The ancient. bugbear about such a play
house being unable to book attractions
without his consent and active cooper
alton has done very good service in the
past, but 1t has survived its usefulness a
a scarecrow. When the new theater 10

Meantime, since Mr. Lift has seen fit
to threaten the new undertaking with his
theatrical trust, 1t may be In order for
the citizens Of Minneapolis to ascertain
full particulars as to the cost Of the IL
cense under which he is permitted by
the municipal authorities to operate his
various places ot amusement in this city.
If his franchise is an exclusive and per-
petual one, the city should, at least, exact
a price for it commensurate with the in
convenience and deprivation suffered by
the public on account Of its existence.
