first Night Critics.

In an article in the American Maya
zine, Waiter Pfichard Eaton writes:
.'The theater door man Is an impor-
tant person on first nights, because as
he passes out return checks between
acts be hears the comments OF the au-
dience His ears are wide open on
such occasions, and, mingling with the
crowd in the lobby, are other attaches
Of the theater, all seeking to overhear
the comments, and all rushing to report
to the manager. Not long ago the last
act of play In New York was en-
tirely changed after the opening night
solely because the women in the audi
ence, as they left the house, were near
~ all complaining Of the tragic finish.
When piece hangs In the balance be-
tween success and failure, when stink-
ering' can perhaps turn the scale. these
frank comments overheard in the lobby
are OF great Importance to author and
manager In other cases they are a
barometer of success or failure, though
the ultimate test. Of course. is the
subtle attitude OF the audience In the
auditorium, its spontaneous enthusiasm

pieces Of property, all OF which were

his end to be near, wanted to make
what restitution he could for the good
