THE POSTER THREATENED.

As BELTS the press agent Of so frivolous
a person as Eddie Foy, Mr.. G. r. Akin
son is a radiant optimist mostly. But
on one subject he is inclined to take the
role of jeremiah and play it with Meth
ersouC intensity just now. This is the
outlook for the brilliant and many-hued
posters of imposing stars and stunning
chorus ladies that once glorifed the bill
boards, but have Of late almost disap-
peaTed. Mr.. Atkinson moUTnfully ex-
planned their disappearance yesterday.
IT'S all due TO the strike Of the 18th
ographers in New York and other
cities" he said. with the slight vibrato of
a manly pathos in his voice. The strike
has played havoc with managers. 1t be
gan early in the theatrical season. and
many Broadway producers We're caught
without any pictured sheets to herald the
coming Of their attractions. Scores Of
managers had given in their printing
orders to various lithographing houses.
all details of the work had been COM
pleted, and it was up to the press. when
the printers walked out Consequently
the lithographing houses were and now
are In a very chaotic state. and unless
conditions change the biliboards through
out the country viii soon take on a
vacant stare It's an i'll wind that does
not blow seine one good. If the strike
continues the newspapers will reap a
harvest. Money that has heretofore been
spent for coloring matter for the big
fences viii eventually find its way into
the newspaper Office. There is some
block matter, printed sheets, pasted
about here and there, of course, but the
reds and the blues and the green's have
been sadly wanting"
MI Atkinson said this as if announc-
ing the death of a friend. Plainly, reds
and blues and greens are dear to his
heart
Much emphasis has been placed on
billboard advertising in recent years, -
he resumed after bit. But I think
that more attention viii be given to
newspaper advertising hereafter.
For the circus the b;llboards offer an
excellent medium for advertising Being
spectacular. an excellent impression of
circus may be made upon the bill
board. Men go 10 a circus to see they
20 to a theater to hear We speak of
the spectators under a canvas and the
audience in a theater The circus ring
offers a series Of passing pictures, and
these may be reproduced with consid-
cradle effect upon the fence But how
are you going to convey the subtle lines
Of The Shulamite and the novel situa-
tons of The Music Master to a theater-
going mind upon the billboard?
Il believe" Mr.. Atkinson continued,
tine popularity of musical comedy, OF
extravaganza, and pantOmime is respon-
sible for the emphasis theatrical man
ayers have been placing upon billboard
advertising. The chorus girl. with her
big picture hat, offers a good subject for
the billboard. and an array Of chorus
girls. sextets, and what not. in v8rie-
gated costumes, make a pleasing picture. ="
