and discerning following the mana
gers duty has been to provide a
worthy and entirely wholesome en-.
tertainment He has found that his
most ambitious efforts have been
greeted with approval and that there
are no heights of lofty endeavors
which are beyond the comprehension
and appreciation OF that following.
This indication has carried the Ameri.
can managers on and forward until
the vaudeville in this country today
Is unparalleled anywhere.
European houses, where composite
bills are presented, arc with but few
exceptions the rendezvous OF male
patrons and resorts where the cafe
feature is quite as profitable as the
performance upon the stage with
this limitation, or more properly, this
discrimination in favor OF the sensa-
tional and highly boisterous attrac-
tlons, 1t Is not surprising perhaps
that the same standards could not
have been reached.
Approaching Christmas time We
have a fair chance TO form an esti-
mate of the current season and the
public's trend in the matter of amuse-
ments, and, more than ever. vaudc-
Vile seems to have entrenched itself
in popular favor. While other forms
OF amusement, particularly those OF
moderate price, seem TO be losing
their clientele. vaudeville has con-
tinued 10 enlist Its patrons interest
and to attract renewed patronage.
And, furthermore. this condition
seems likely to continue so long as
the managers and the artists keep on
developing newer and better material
and keep alive TO the requirements
and wishes OF very big and very in
telligent public.
