THE THEATRICAL TRUST.
One Reason Why Good Attractions
Are Scarce in Augusta.

Soaking of trusts there is no trust
in the country as arbitrary. tyrannical
and merciless as the theatrical trust
| that has gained grip upon every
show town Of any consequence in this
country
Here is a trust that holds both ends
and the middle and robs alike the
manager of the playhouse, the amuse-
ment companies and the public that
patrOniZe amlsements. This theatre
cal trust, which has the country d.
vided up and parceled out to various
branch trusts, not only absolutely DOM
mates and controls every playhouse of
any consequence but also every amuse-
ment attraction, good. bad and indif-
ferent. We speak of the manager of
playhouse and the manager of an
| amusement company. They are man
| ayers of nothing. The trust does the
| managing and they do what the trusts
says of they are put out of business.
The shows that q town gets are not
the bookings of the local manager but
the bookings OF the trust. The peo-
pie who patronize shows as well as
those in the show business have to TAX.
appeal. If there is some show on the
| road that you would like to see. that
you know would do a profitable BUSH
| ness here. don't blame the local man.
aSer because you are not privileged
TO see it. Blame the trust because it
will not let it come here. If there il
some show that has been here n dozen
or twenty times that nobody wants 10
See. don't blame the local manager
because it comes again. Blame ttr.
trust which forces the show upon him.
If you have wondered why Augusta
has had so many weeks of repertoire
this season, much of it very cheap
repertoire. while so few of the good
shows that are on the road have come
here. blame the trust for it.
BY this grip upon both ends of the
business The show that is not con-
trolled by the theatrical trust cannot
get bookings in any town where the
| show business is profitable, while on
the other nand the playhouse that is
not under the control of the trust
can't get any good attractions. be-
cause the trust controls all the good
attractions.
Thus having one hand on the throat
or the manager of the playhouse and
the other hand on the throat of the,
company manager. the trust is i'm a
position to go through the pockets of
both and rake out liberal percentage
of the receipts from each, whether
business is good or bad. for that is the
tribute cxacted by the trust for the
privilege of being the trust Circuit"
The show business is a business of
| magnitude. 1t carries big money out
OF Maine every season. The. people
who patrOnize amuSementS are. enti-
tied TO have something" TO say about
| what kind of attractions shall be Offer
cd them. They have nothing what
| ever TO say. 1t is all as the theatrical
trust says.
1t is worth the while of the next
legislature to take hold of this matter.
The theatrical trust should be debarred
| from doing business in Maine 1t is
the most tyrannical and merciless ot
all the trusts. 1t robs the amusement
| enterprises. rObs the mana gements of
| the playhouses and r0bs the amuse-
ment patronizing public.
