Critics and Managers

A WRITER in the Theater Magazine
~ for September, discussing the re-
lations Of dramatic critics and
theater managers apropos of recent
Judicial decision which declares that
the manager of thea ter conducts
private business and can turn from his
doors any individual according to his
own judgment or caprice, very sensibly
says:
The abuses of criticism should be
corrected, and this is one of the tenden-
cies of the law which, in some respects.
we think is untenable, but which must
be accepted for the moment and as long
as it stands. There is going to be no
war between the newspapers and the
theatrical managers, for the managers
are too wise for that. The one thing
that is needed and should be wanted in
criticism is the truth. If the two sides
cannot meet on that common ground
something is going to happen. The
honest. decent, truth-telling critic has
nothing to fear, never has feared any,
thing, and never will fear anything,
and If the theaters could and did sup
press him they would go into bank
ruptcy. on the other hand, the fan
tastic, youthful, bumptious, truculent
-.
should be eliminated by some means.
Who is to determine these things?
Let us assume that the manager will
do so. In that event, if he makes it a
purely personal matter he will make
mistakes that will react against him.
The success of a play depends largely
upon publicity, a fact that stands out
in sharp contrast with the decision that
a theater is purely private business.
1t Is not, and never can be. Managers
and actors are public characters and
cannot by any possibility avoid the re-
sponSibilities involved.
AS a practical matter. the only issue
that can be safely exploited is incompe-
tent, malicious, personal and needlessly
Injurious criticism Incompetence is
not the least of the evils to be expelled.
1t cannot be we'll cured. Frivolity can
be chastened and corrected Abuse is
a personal matter; honest criticism.
even If 1t causes temporary loss while
1t saves greater, is a public matter as
we'll.
Criticism (Which does not necessarl-
ly mean faultindlng) whether faVora Bile
or unfaVorable, is inevitable, and there
Is no such thing as private criticism of
private property i'm plays The very
minute an audience issues from the
doors of a theater that criticism be-
comes public.
"Of course managers do not mean
to suppress unfavorable criticism when

The Musical Outlook

THERE is reason to believe that Los
Angeles today is fast becoming a
musical center. Out of the 1873
members of the Gamut club there are
at least eighty of the male persuas sion
who are not only talented but rank far
above the ordinary, and this organiza-
tion is capal lie of giving within it's
membership, which not only includes
musicians but a number of associate
members who are readers, authors and
entertainers an evenings entertain
ment which could Lardly be surpassed
in brilliancy by any professional body
of entertainers.
The coming winter promises to be a
most delightful one musically. Many
additions hG7o been maze to the
musical colony this summer ard more
are coming before the season wanes.
Miss Blanche Ruby, an American
singer who has been repeating honors
in Europe for several seasons past and
was till recently first soprano in the
Royal French opera at The Hague, is
now in the city and will be heard in
concert during the winter. The Kopta
quartet, although not rivals to the
Krauss quartet, will divide honors with
this well known organization which
presented chamber music in such ex-
quisite manner. Oskar Selling is a new
addition to the ranks of violinistS and
Franz Wilczek will soon be here to
augment the Violin forces.
The Lott Rogers concerts will be con-
tinued this season, four of them, with
the assistance of the Krauss quartet.
The Philharmonic course. which has
stood for nine consecutive seasons as
the representa- tive series of imported
Uyill h1U a
strong series of six attractions, includ-
ing practically all of the important out
side artists engaged in this city this
year.
Forrest Dabney Carr is coming to Los
Angeles in the month of January to
present his new song cycle entitled
"The Buccaneers" and will undoubt-
edly be welcomed.
The first real musical event of the
season will be the farewell appearance
of Ellen Beach Yaw in concert before
she starts on her annual American tour.
Miss Yaw endeared herself to the pub
lie by her gracious manner last season.
She has become a serious musician, a
great singer and an earnest student,
and is showing to the world today that
California can produce a great musical
artist as well as fine fruits, beautiful
flowers and uneXcelled climate. Miss
YaW will be assisted by number of
first class musicians who will accom-
pany her on her American tour.
Signor Putti, a well known pianist,
is to give a series of interpretative con-
certs during the winter.
During the month of October the
members of the Gamut club are to have
the real dedication Of Gamut club aud
itorium to the use of music, and their
program, it is promised. will eclipse
anything of the kind ever given in this
city.
The sale of reserved seats for the
tenth consecutive season of the Los
Angeles Symphony orchestra Will open
October l and the reserving of the
season tickets for the Philharmonic
course will take place at the same time

it is just. That would be impossible.
Consequently. we do not see anything
disturbing in the situation. There is
not the slightest danger that both news
papers and theater managers will bring
themselves into public contempt by an
enforced policy of soft words or ndis-
criminate commendation for every
thing, for stupidity as well as for the
uplifting, for the bad in art, morals
and taste as well as for the good. No,
there is no carnival of complaisancy at
hand, in which a Cohan shall equal i'm

Mrs Warren's Profession shall stand

j. M. Barrie comedy in which she de
lighted the east last season. Mr., Bar
res whimsical comedy and tender
heart touches were never more effect
lively used than in this play. Miss Bar

parts, is seen in "Allce" as the mother
of a grown daughter and it is one of
the strongest and most charming of
her portrayals. She returns to New
York later in the season in a new
play by II. V. Esmond.
