THE STAGE

The Saturday Evening Post con-
tains an article, showing that Shake
speare. properly staged and acted. is
a paying investment in New York
and on the road. The Ben Greet
players, the Southern-Marlowe COM
bination and the New theater-all
make money-and a Bowery theater
competed successfully with the fam
Gus uptown theaters, during the
Southern-Marlowe engagement.
Pessimists love to point to the fact
that grand opera only can be main
tanned for short season by subscrdp-
tions, and that the average mslo-
drama, musical comedy and vaude-
Vile Is of low order of art, even
when not actually vulgar Granted;
but Is must be remembered that only
those, who appreciate technical skill.
can really enjoy sustained classical
productions, and the fact that the
average man does not pay an enorm-
Gus sum to hear Wagner night after
night. Is no sign that musical taste
is decadent, since popular concerts
by such orchestras as that conduct
ed by Thomas are profitable at pop
ular prices Nor is il a sign OF de-
graded taste that the average man
does not care for the kind of Shake
spearean productions, the average
itinerant star or the theatrical trust
present to him.
There are more vulgar attractions
on the boards now, no doubt, be-
cause there are more people. of an
kinds godng to theaters these days.
and the trust magnates, who watch
the box Office closely, became obses-
sed Of the same idea as the pesd-
mistic reformers, that the people
like vulgar and obscene things. The
truth. however, Is that while novel;
ties have paid for short times, about
twice as many trashy shows fail as
succeed; fortunes are lost every
year trying to ram them down the
public's throat; while Mrs Fiske,
Ben Greet's players. such sterling
artists as Southern and Marlowe,
and Mansfield and Irving in their
day, cleared fortunes. They take no
chances, like a good business house
that gives its customers value re-
ceived.
There are indications of a reviv
al of decency on the stage by the
elimination OF the meretricious. All
the discussion of the last year indi-
Gates an awakening to the situation,
which syndicate methods on the
stage has produced, and some time
every city will have a theater like
the New theater in New York, where
real dramatic art will be presented.
and every spectator win know when
he buys his ticket that his sense of
propriety and decency VIII not be
shocked by vulgar substitutes forswit
and pathos.
