environs of the play, however, the nero

MYTH the election over and tns
wv opera a thing of the past, the
.theaters proper come into their
own again, and prosperity should once
more hedge them about. They will
have one lean week this month-that
Just before Christmas, which. with
Holy week, is known as the worst in
the business. But outside of that 1t is
reasonable to suppose that they will
have few empty seats to complain
about. .
1t cannot be denied that the opera
season hurt the dramatic houses-espe
cially the Mason So many subscrib-
ers had taken full tickets for the opera
that they felt unable to spare the
money for theatrical afta lrs in between.
even though they found the time. And
these season ticket holders were large
ly of the class that patroniZes the Ma
son most heavily, kE q consequence,
attractions that ordinarily would draw
full houses at the Broadway play shop
have df5pOrted themselves to vast emp
illnesses But now the opera is over
save for a brief supplementary season
and the Mason should do business
again. f.
One problem the playhouses have
yet to wrestle with-the coming Of the
Dick Ferris company to the Audito-
rum, beginning Christmas day. Fer
ris has announced Florence Stone as
his leading woman and Andrew Rob-
son as his leading man-both good
players. of high. class And he prom
1ses support just as good. He has
ample stage for the biggest sort of
productions, and the highest price in
the house will be so cents. How this
will draw, and especially how it will
pull from the other stock houses, is a
gamble. AS against. the promised good
company and the low prices must be
set the house, which, though beautiful
ana splendid for opera, is too nightly
dig for dramatic work. The best delin-
cations win be lost because Of the vast :
ness of the place and the distance of
the audience from the stage. 1t looks
as If Ferris would be restricted to
spectacular melodrama. f'f.
The ousting of the Howard Hamilton
company from the Hotchkiss leaves one
fewer theater open, and aids the others
just that much. But if Fischer opens
there with musical comedy New Years
day, that adds this house to the prob
1em.. The wise ones have all agreed
that musical comedy is the only thing
that will go in the Hotchkiss, and that
the town Is hungry for IT, The only
wonder is that the Auditorium didn't
try 1t. A really clever company of
singers and comedians ought to make
a hit, even In the Hotchkiss and every
one is hoping that Fischer will put on
the right sort Of people, the proper
variety of shows. keep away from the
chestnuts, not murder the melody and
be liberal with the fun. Then success
will undoubtedly be his. But-one can
only wait and soc.
Meanwhile. we will have a success
sion Of excellent offerings at the main
four dramatic houses, Including some
OF the country's great stars at the Ma
son. and the Orpheum will continue
blandly on its prosperous way, un-
mindful OF all else but the ever inflow
ing stream of coin.
