THEATERs ARE CONDEMNED.
New York Spends Over Half a Million
Weekly for Shows.

New York, June 10-A severe arraigr.
ment of the moral and intellectual tone
of theaters in this city is presented in
a report issued under the auspices OF
the Russell Sage foundation. The
vaudeville theater and burlesque shows
come il for especially harsh criticism
Compared to these shows the regular
theaters are visited by a relatively
small number of patrons.
The total number of theaters In
Greater New York Is given as 497.
Those in Manhattan number 275 OF
which only 80 are rated as first class
houses" The average weekly attend
ance at 275 theaters is 1.750,0 900, only
160, 900 of which represent visitors at
the first class houses. "A total d
nearly $575, 900 is spent weekly on thea
/ tiers in. this city.
OF the burlesque houses. five-sixths
are rated as .'demoralizing'' and one
sixth as lowering" OF the vaudeville
houses three fourths are mot objec-
tionable," one-fifth are Towering and
only per cent are "of positive value"
The deductions from these data are
in part as follows:
vaudeville is simple stupidity. The
bur1esque show is the most undesirable
type of show, although it rarely sinks
to the level of immortality or sugges-
tiveness attained by occasional plays at
high priced .theaters.
1.-THE vaudeville mentality of the out
of towner and hotel dweller, sets a
standard above which the theatrical
manager cannot pass without en-
dangering his hold upon this sort of
patronage. In word, the high priced
theater is not offering to the well to
de resident of New York what that
clientele has right to demand"

to extend the benefits. of military
training is the purpose of General
Wood, chief Of staff, in proposing to
congress a novel scheme for six month
enlistments. 1t is his belief that many
high school boys and graduates of col
leges may be enticed by the promise of
short taste of military life to enlist
for that period who would not care to
abandon the business careers they have
mapped out as would be the case in a
five years term.
Youngsters of high intelligence
should easily be able to ground them
selves in the military practices in six
months hard work and the benefit to
be derived from the setting up drills
and regular habits of life at a forma-
tive period would tend to physical de-
ve1opment.
With these reasons in mind, General
Wood is urging public discussion of
the subject, with the expectation of
pressing the legislation upon congress
at the regular session next winter.
