IF now the duty Is to be taken off

places II can and will be made into flour.
because the capacity OF the United States
mills Is IS per cent greater than Is needed
to mill the wheat OF this country, Cana
dian wheat can be imported and ground
into flour without materially reducing the
demand for OF price OF United States
wheat and the surplus will be sent abroad

The price Of Canadian wheat win doubt

to the. market nearer at hand. but access
to the market nearer az hand will not re-

There is hardly a seas u that there are not
a number of plays touring the country
whose managers do not control theate.- IN
the metropolis and are waiting for an open
ing in New York, which usually comes a. ut
from the unexpected failure or series of tall
ures at some theater.
Not even the cotton market or thc race
track are so much of gamble as running
theater. Let us look at what theater can
take in and what it frequently does not. In
the building of a modern theater today, the
idea is not to build large ones like the New
amsterdam, Lyric, Broadway, Knicker-
booker, Wallack's, American, or the Sher-
man Square, but to construct what the
French call un thfdtye intime, such as the
Lyceum, Empire, Stuyvesant, Aston, Lib
erty, Hudson, Maxine Elliott's Nazimova's,
or the Globe.
On the average, theaters of this latter size
seat 1000 people; and when every seat is
sold, including boxes, the gross receipts for
each performance would be about 81, 800
Eight performances a week of these figures
mean $4,000, although one must allow a
discount for Wednesday matinees, when
prices are lower. This discount would prob
ably be offset by standing room for Saturday
matinees and evening performances at the
end of the week.
Now, then, if the manager in producing
his own play strikes success that will
draw S12 ,000 and his theater and company
cost him only $4,000, and he runs that play
for 80 weeks, he is of course making a huge
sum of money. But no play will run for 80
weeks and average $4,000 a week, except
once in generation: like, for instance "The
Little Minister" with Miss Maude Adams,
or the seventeen weeks run of @The Lion and
the Mouse at the Lyceum, when the house
was absolutely sold out for every perform
ance,-in fact, the average was 81, 526 for
each performance, when on seating ca
pacity of 957 the house holds 81 500.
Suppose the manager of the theater is not
the producer of the play; then his share of
the receipts is divided like this: The theater
takes 80 per cent. of the first $4,000. This
insures the manager his weekly expense ac-
count. After the $4,000 the visiting at
traction takes go per cent. of the house; the
other, 40 per cent. If the gross receipts have
been $4,000, the attractions share would
be $500 and the managers $4,000. That
means 81 900 week profit for the manager
and good clear 81 600 to the manager who
owns the show.
But all is not gold that glitters What
about the plays that fail? 1t may surprise
the lay mind to learn that the average week
w receipts of all first class New York thea
tiers, take them as they run, successes and
failures, is not over $1,000 a week. 1t is
astonishing how completely play can fail.
When a failure does come the unanimity
with which the public will remain away from
theater is equally unexplainable with why
some plays draw. 1t happens every season
that there are plays such dire failures that
they play to less than fifty dollars per-
Torrance and many that cannot squeeze up
ito gross receipts of 81 900 for eight perform
