On the other hand. the actor does
not nbate his work nor does he diminish
his efforts to please ON account Of the
character of the play. He should there
fore not be blamed for the faults Of the
playwright. Yet It seems to the casua |
spectator Of the passing show in the
playhouses that exhibitions of rare art
or compelling personality are seldom
encountered there. The difference be-
tween TwEgDLEpUM and TwErpLEDEE Is
not striking. TwEEDLKDfE may he a
little comelier or few years younger
than her rival, and TwEEpLEDUM may
be few inches taller or a trifie more
amusing than his colleague in the other
play. The truth Of the matter is that
success seems to depend more on the
efficiency Of the dramatist than on any
body or anything else. So the man
ayers who complain that actors are
overpaid may in reality he correct in
their view Of the situation.

The Pay OF Actors and Singers.

There Is nothing new in the COM
paint Of some Of the theatrical man
ayers that the compensation Of their
actors is 30 great as TO make proht
sometimes impossible. This season,
however, several impresariOs have dis
banded organizations under their con.
troll rather than continue them at a
loss or with Insignificant profit which
involved too great n risk. Whether
there will he an attempt to reduce the
pay of actors to some businesslike basis
or whether they will continue to re-
ceive the compensation which they de-
ma nd depends upon how much the man.
ayers need them And some Of them
seem always needed.
II used to he n theory In Snowman
ship that the actor was worth what he
brought into the theatre. That prln.
ciple still prevails theoretically In
musical enterprises, although In the
abstract and often for sentimental rea-
sons it Is not always observed. Com
J mercial management Of an opera com
pany, and the administration must be
more or less commercial to exist at ALL
holds that the singer Is worth what he
may bring to the treasury and should
he paid In proportion. Under these
circumstances the payment Of an ap-
parently extravagantly large sum to
barytone last year was not after all
poor business, since he vnriably at
tracted to the theatre enough patronage
to leave his manager large surplus
Of profit. The opposite of this kind Of
management was to be observed the
other day when the receipts at per-
formance of opera In neighboring
city were $1,000, while two singers
alone received as their salaries for the
performance $2.40O.
1t Is true, however, to-day that the
salaries paid to singers bear a more
exact relation than they ever did to the
amount they attract to the box office.
Exceptions to this rule are sometimes
found In tho case Of artists who In
spite of their failure to appeal sensa-
tlOnally to the public add dignity to an
institution.
Unluckily It Is not possible for theat-
rical managers to determine so exactly
the degree to which an actor draws
the public. 1t is the play which appeals
now to theatregOers In this country.
There are not three actors on the
American stage to-day who are able
to draw large audiences whatever the
medium which Introduces them may be.
Those reputed to be most popular need
for the exercise Of their art material
which is approved by the public. else
reputation will not avail. 1t Is this
view Of the case which makes the com.
plaint of the managers seem Just. as II
Is In reality the quality Of the play
which makes for the prosperity. Of the

The Imminent Problem Of Panama
Canal Tolls.

Representative ADAMsoN In introduce
ing his resolution In the House on Tues
day suspending for two years the pro-
vision Of the Panama Canal tolls act
cxempting American coastwise ship
ping from paying charges, said that
his resolution proposed, first, an expert
mental test to determine whether the
tolls from other sources than cOastwise
shipping would meet the expenses Of
operation and, secondly, an cmortu-
nifty "to adjust all questions of diplo-
macy touching the tolls
The controversy which has already
ruined the surface OF the friendly re-
lations between Great Britain and the
United States Is now up for settlement.
II Congress adopts the Adamson resO-
luton the revenue test 1t proposes may
postpone and even Obviate any further
diplomatic exchanges about a violation
af the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by the
provision that exempts American Goa ST.
wise shipping from paying tolls.
In an article in the December numb.r
OF Ndr0I Institute Proceedings Profess
sor Emory r. JOHNSON, special com.
missioner on Panama Canal traffic and
tolls. comes to the conclusion that 1.-THE
United States will need to collect tolls
from the owners Of the ships engaged
in the American coastwise trade In
"rder to secure revenues, within a
reasonable time after the opening OF
the canal, large enough to meet the
canals current expenses and Its capital
charges"
Professor JOHNSON calculates that tc
be selfsustaining the canal must carr

maintenance expenses will come to 81,
