First Drop Curtain Siqn.

It is very seldom nowadays that we
catch a glimpse of advertising signs on
:le drop curtains of any New York
production. and yet time was when this
method of advertising was source OF
revenue to the manager. and curtains
we're literally covered with signs. 1t Is
related that one of the foremost pro-
ducers along Broadway some twenty
Eve years ago. while putting on big
musical play. discovered that his funds
were running low and he was unable
to raise "A loan. One of the scenes in
the play represented Union square. at
that time the first class retail center OF
New York city. He had an idea. de
went to merchants whose places OF
business were on Union square and
proposed to show their stores in his
scene and with their signs plainly in
sight, which would he good ad. The
suggestion was readily accepted. and
the producer got all the money he re-
quired for bringing out his play and y
great deal more. New York Telegraph
