will have to be corrected II the theater Is
come again into It's full flower in America.
The late Augustin DAILY Is. perhaps, the most
luminous eNemplar Of the thought that the
manager can direct public taste In the mat
ter OF the drama Mr. DAILY had no claim
to prescience. but he was able through his
experience and good taste to determine
with something like accuracy the qualities
of the play he had before him and to make
a reasonably safe estimate as to its chances
for success. Then ne brought the forces
of his company to bear on the problem in
such a way that he did not risk his venture
on the turn OF a single character. Other
managers showed similar capacity, and IL
is not unreasonable to suppose that a man
Of equal ability might be found again. IL
may not be an easy matter 10 assemble an
other such company as Mr., DAILY had, ana
set 1t could be done. With such a mana
ger and such an organization, one of the
great necessities would be provided; II
you'll open the way to a reform that Is so
apparent that Il needs no argument. Other
Iaanagers would be impressed. and the
modern star system would fall again, anG
the day of the real actor would be re-
stored. That the drama would gain can
scarcely be questioned.
Perhaps the most foolish manifestation
of the managerial misunderstanding OF the
star system has been the silly but per-
sistent hunt for types" The extremes
to which this has been carried have been
80 ridiculous that one hesitates to recount
some OF the stories told BY actors who
have failed 70 secure employment because
they did not come up to the preooneeived
notion OF the manager or his agent as
to the exact sort Of individual needed for
a particular part. For example one young
woman who sang in Omaha not 80 very

! Present conditions in the theater world OF
America may be thus summarized:


New York Is one OF the few cities OF the
world that do not impose a limit on the
height OF buildings Some years ago twenty
stories was a great height but now forty
and nfty-story buildings occasion no sur
prise. Recently announcement was made
Of building that will contain sixty stories.
In most other large cities some restric-
ton Is IN force. For instance, IN Boston
building cannot be taller than 10 feet,
in Chicago go feet Is the limit In foreign
cities the height Of a building Is generally
regulated by the width OF the street is
stands on In England under the law Of
ancient lights, the TOD OF a building must
fan within an angle Of not more than q
degrees drawn. from a point in the middle
OF the street.

EFT us resume the consideration
IT. Of thu topic where It was some
what ABRUPTLY left last Sun
day. Several very interesting
DIV pCin{e had not been considered,
~ ard pne or two that were
touched upon had been touched very
lightly and In general terms One OF these
Is the responsibility OF the manager for
the condition Of affairs into which the
stage has come In America. II is unfair
TO the manager OF a commercial theater
10 charge him with fun responsibility for
the quality OF his offerings, he is In some
way controlled by the demand, real or APP
parent, from the public to which he pur-
veys his wares, and as that public pays
or does not pay for certain qualities OF
amusement, the manager Is Justified In
drawing his differences and arranging for
his productions accordingly. He does not
pretend to omiscience in matters OF public
taste, nor, by that same token, does he
lay great deal Of stress upon his duty
70 form that taste. He rather seeks to
discover with what sort OF playthlng the
public viii be pleased for the moment.
aud then undertakes 20 provide that play
thing. He does not even expend much ef-
fort IN mentetlon-although the
wrecks Of plays that have failed may seem
TO deny this-but contents himself for the
most part with showing his new" wares
with such slight modification OF the old
as makes the change very little and
thereby startles his patrons but slightly.
Another charge the commercial mana ger
Is open 70 Is that he is an Initiative ami
NAL. and when one finds that another has
produced success, a copy or series OF
copies is Immediately forthcoming, and
OFTEN verltable host OF plays alike IN
everything but name are given TO the
stage Nor are these abandoned until
something that may be initiated with equal
success Is produced by another. All the
time the manager has two defenses al
hand he Is not responsible Ear public

For the first defense the pubic Is respon--
sible. Without undertaking 10 ascribe
definite cause, the fact Is apparent that
for many months the people OF the world
have been strangely disturbed In mind and
most especially is this true OF the Ameri-
can people. Disclosures OF various sorts
have helped 10 foster this feeling OF IN
rest and allegations OF greater disclosures

oined to increase the distrust OF the people.
And, as n this were not enough. various
prophets have arisen, promising their fol-
lowers that they win bring the people up

that which seems to impend In the theater
today Two eight club leagues we're con-
soiidated and grounds In six OF the cities
were closed, the franchises being bought by
the remaining teams. A little later on other
franchises were purchased and grounds
were closed, so that the league was again
reduced to eight in number, the owners OF
the absorbed franchises were reimbursed,
and the business was placed on a firm foot
ing, on which the present magnificent
game has been established. A similar policy
might be followed by the magnates of the
amusement world. With the problem OF
number Of theaters solved, the question Of
providing plays should not be 90 hard.
Not so many would be required and the
companies to present them might be readily
recruited from the ranks of stars" who
would then be forced 10 become actors or
give over the profession. The managers
would find q public ready to respond just
as did the base BAH magnates, and pros
perity would follow where now strife and
uncertainty exists. The manager would no
longer be required to go hunting for novel;
ties with which to attract patronage; he
could offer substantial attractions and find
them welcomed.
Present conditions in the theater world OF
America may be thus summarized:
Too many Too few
Theaters, Good Plays
stars, Good Actors
Managers. Men OF ripened judR-
ment and authora-
tive taste.
II the men who control IN the world Of
amusement IN America win but come into
conference, give over their futile rivalry
and agree to be guided by reason and or
binary business prudence IN this matter.
they may do quite as much for the cause
Of the drama in America as II a national
theater were really established. II they
do not, one is almost inclined to predict
that something will smash.

II is not unreasonable to conclude, after q
fun consideration OF the many elements
that enter into the problem, that the pro
ducing managers are not altogether blame
less for the present situation. In what has
been said no account has been taken Of
their mad haste to build theaters. which
has resulted In every city OF any size In
the country having Al least one more
theater than It can comfortably support;
nothing has been said Of the shOrt-sighted
policy that raised the tariff for seats far
above the ability OF the great masses Of
people 10 pay and several other points that
might have been considered have been
passed Enough has been written to show
that the managers are responsible In very
great measure for the conditions az the
theater and that they have Il In their
power TO remedy the evil. Some sacrifice
may have 20 be made, but little juds-
ment exercised IN the measures that look
toward reform may be the means Of ulti-
mately saving many thousands OF dollars
