average theatrical manager does not know
not. The result Of this has been that in
nearly every box Office there Is a list OF
persons to whom first night seats must be
assigned, but who could never give an
audisnoc any briilianoy..
You can count on EN- always, how
for they're 80 proud Of being on that FIRST
night list that they'll take their seats for any
kind Of show. They're able to say with
pride. oh. we're on the first night list at the
Empire, or the Knickerbocksr, and they re so
proud OF that they are willing 10 take their
seats always.
"The value of clientele like that Is shown
by the receipts Of first night performances
at theatres that have not this foundation
to fall back on. Unless it ID q very at
tractive combination Of play and actor,
only the first nighters take the trouble to
come and the regular first nishters are not
numerous enough to fill up theatre"
The verdict Of first night audience
always has some weight with managers.
even though they have seen 1t reversed by
the general public. The friends OF the
the regular first night crowd, may help a
play to apparent success when it later fails
entirely to gain a following. What really
interests a manager. however rs the YER
dict Of the second or third night audience,
as expressed by the amount OF money in
the house. II there Is an increase on those
two evenings, he knows that his play has
made a success. II there DO q drop. he
knows he has failed.
First night audiences are capable Of
proving certain things a manager said
to THE SUN reporter that give manager
an insight into the character Of certain
pc ruliarities In bis play.
IL don't think an audience can be made
to laugh unless orething funny has been
done OF said. The friends who want to whoo p
Il up can applaud yociferously and enough
Willy Netherlands can cause racket.
1T may be that the friends Of the house
will laugh more loudly than usual, but to
keep an audience laughing is sign that
play is funny.
sTo ring up q curtain four or FIVE times
on first night means nothing. At the first
performance Of one OF the first failures

WHITEAoLK, Okla, Oct. e.-For several
weeks Indian agency policemen have been
riding through the reservations In Okla
homa to bring from their hiding places
Indian boys and girls OF school age. Many
parents look upon this school captivity
with no less bitterness than the children.
Despite their reputation for stoicism,
the India father and mother bestow the ut
most affection upon their children and many
OF them live in dread OF the day when the
long summer OF camp freedom and happi-
ness must end and the tepee DO without
the prattle and laughter Of the children.
So reluctant are some Indian parents to
give up their children, that the Indian
agents withhold rations and annuity money
till tho children are placed in school. Often
the children are secluded till hunger forces
the parents to comply with the school
regulations.
The tepee poles and the camp equl-
page are loaded into the wagon, the ponies
are harnessed, and the family starts for
the agency school, followed by pack OF
the nondescript dogs that infest every
Indian camp. II the child has never be-
