Managers and Plays.

Every time there is a vigorous pro
test against indecent plays the pro
ducers and managers, through some
Of their number, cover themselves
with the cloak Of public demand" It
Is an old evasion. It is most con-
venient And, specifically, it is de-
ceptive. To be sure, no manager
would continue to offer an indecent
play if no one went to see it. The
public has its share in the RESPONSE
bility, for it takes both goods and custo-
mers to make a sale But you cannot
indict people. whereas you can in
dict an individual or an organization.
Bad plays promote bad taste. The
promotion of bad taste adds profits to
the producer Of bad plays. Thus
there is established between the pre-
tucers and theiT following what the
doctors call a vicious circle.1 The
evil public helps the evil managers
