LOST PRIVILEGES OF STARS
Theatrical Celebrities Nave Not the Rights and liberties of
 Former Times.

Stars of the new school do not at tempt to deceive even themselves as to the difference between their rights and privileges now and those of star Is years ago, or even ten years ago, says the New York Sun. .E
 The position of the star was very diff ferent then. The star does not know nowadays in what play he is to act un- til the manager gives 1t to him in the fall. He may have part not in the least suited to him, but he cannot help that in case the manager has decreed that he must act it.
 Then there are very few stars now adays who can give out seats and boxes to any extent. In the old days the star could present half the house to his friends, if he wanted to, because he was the whole thing. But nowadays the av- craze star has to ask his manager for seats, and doesn't always get them.
 Nor do the young stars of the day have the right to bring friends into the dressing room as those of the old times could. The younger brood must follow the rules of the theater just like the other actors. Thus have the privileges of the star been curtaiIed.
