We discussed the proposed national
theater, and she pronounced the project
practical If properly carried out.
There is no reason she said. why
a theater under governmental patron
age would not be as pecuniarily salts
factory to it's sponsor as the Metropoli-
tan Opera house in New York to it's d.
rcctors or the Chicago Orchestra to It's
promoters. Artistically. national
theater would be of immense advan-
tage. With a comfortable subsidy to
protect 1t If the bill could be changed as
frequently as desired, and that is some
thing we poor individuals. however
lofty our aims, cannot afford to do.
There is talk of establishing municipal
theaters, and that. too, would be a
good thing for dramatic art if such
theaters were entrusted to the director
ship of honest and competent persons"
Again the taboo of the system OBJ
truded itself, because we could not
discuss the business side of the drama
without referring to existing condi-
tons. So it looked like reduction of
our stock-in-topics to the glorious eli
mate or something equally platitudin-

Fiske what she regarded as her most

the director, is not the only dramatic
organization in America that is man

IF you were to address that query

Cheap THeaters Hurt
High-Pr1ced Houses

During the past season the Decent vau-
deville theaters have cropped up all over
the Western part Of the country In such
large numbers that they have made seri-
Gus inroads upon the business OF the regu-
lar travelling companies With view 70
obtaining some information concerning
these houses, Dramatic Mirror repre-
sentative had a chat with Harry Gran
dali, the comedian, who toured the West
ern States during the past season with
"A Friend Of the Family"
There Is no question" said Mr.. Gran
dahl. that these places have hurt bust
ness In many towns that used to be good
stands. In Butte, Mont. they have two
houses. What was formerly the first
class theater is now Decent vaudeville
house, and both OF the 10-centers are
under the same management. In Tacoma
they have three houses, which Is over
doing 1t for such a comparatively small
city. They certainly affect the attend
ance in the balconies and galleries Of the
other theaters.
I'm Portland there are i've or six Of
them and they have knocked the bust
ness endways While / was there there
was a rumor that the Portland Theater
would run vaudeville this summer on
scale that would tend TO freeze out the
smaller places.
Almost every town In California has
from one to three Decent houses. and you
can imagine what chance travelling
company has to make any money. In
Seattle there are four or five, and new
one was recently opened there that cost
s35. OOO 1t Is a fne house Of It's kind. The
streets of San Francisco are lined with
them. While was there I saw for the
first time in my career the gallery OF the
theater closed, because these places had
drawn away the regular patrons. As far
as I could see they have not invaded the
South. as the people down there seem to
banker for more substantial entertain
ment
I'm many cases 7 was surprised to see
what a really good entertainment was
given for the money. They almost al
ways have one or two good acts. but the
great majority are worse than any
chaser ever seen In the supper-show in
the continuous here In New York. In a
good many places the managers OF these
circuits have secured the best theaters.
and these towns are wiped from the route
of the travelling manager. The perform
ances last from an hour to an hour and
half, and from five to seven performances
are given every day. On Sundays and
holidays the bill is repeated ten or twelve
times. The first opening occurs usually
at haIf-past 1, before a small house, but
the crowds increase as the day wears on.
The patronage Is not confined to the
poorer classes, either and I saw many
we'll o-do people watching the perform
ances. The houses as a rule are well
managed. scrupulously clean. and the at
taches are unusually attentive. My opin-
ion IS that the fad will die out In time,
but Just at present this branch Of the
theatrical business is enjoying a wonder
full boom"

Gossip ofthe Stage
and Me Player Folk

Not the least gratifying bit of theatri-
cal news received last week was the
announcement that Nan Patterson s

on account of her failure to draw De-
cent folk in and out of the profession
have no sympathy to bestow on Miss
Patterson's manager, who lost a tidy
sum by Understanding the American
public,s intelligence and sense of pro-
priety. Nan was alleged to be under
contract tosreceive $4,000 a week, which
is higher salary than Mrs. Fiske,
Julia Marlowe, Mrs. Carter or any legit-
innate American actress is paid.
A dispatch to the New York Tribune
from Denver on May % stated that the
manager of the Manhattan Beach Thea
ter in that city-a burleSque house
had declined to let the company in
which Nan was featured" appear at his
theater on the ground that she was a
$50 chorus girl before her trial for muir

failure to attract serves to show that
the mob, always ready to rush to see
the vulgar or notorious, has the redeem
ing quality of curbing It's curiosity
when the magnet combines suspected
assassination with lewdness of charac-
ter. The decree of divorce is more Sc
