Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1914-09-06

One hundred and sixty-two years
ago yesterday the first theater in the
United States was opened in the
colony of Virginia at old Williams
burg. The originator was an English
actor. William Hallam, ST., who
brought his own company from over
seas and presented The Merchant of
Venice" as the Initial performance.
The idea spread rapidly, and soon
New York, Philadelphia and the other
leading communities of colonial Amer
lea each had their theaters.
At the close of the century, theaters
Were open in the capitals of nearly
all the thirteen original states. While
thu Nirginian playhouse was the
first in the United States, actors had
played in the colonies before this
date. The first is said to have been
the English strOlling player. Anthony
Aston. who was Known as Mat Med
ley. The actor and his art of that
day were generally despised by the
puritanical colonists. The Massachu
sets legislature passed a law shortly
after amateurs had given The Or
phans" at the Coffee House in Bos-
ton in l749. which forbade such per-
formances, attaching a penalty for
actors and spectators alike OF 5
pounds sterling each.
The opposition in Philadelphia was
so great that Hallam was compelled
To build his theater in 1853 outside of
the city proper, in a district then in
disrepute and known us Southwark,
or. Society Hill Even then vigorous
efforts We're made to close the theater.
\ petition was addressed to Judge
William Allen, who refused to act,
declaring that he had obtained strong
or moral lessons from attending the
theater than from Any sermons he
had heard in church.

fractions, and when something really
titled to have it.
Mr.. Woodman is new in the bust
ness and he has shown a desire to
do the very best he can for his pa
irons. Here is an opportunity for
him to do them a big service and at
the same time make money for him
| self, for if money is to be made in
the theatrical business here at least
some first class attractions must be
furnished. They may cost a little
more to get; but as yet no manager
has been afraid to raise prices not
only in, but all out of proportion
For an attraction like this Phoenix
will gladly pay an advanced price,
make no complaint and pack the
theater at all three performances.
1t is sick and tired of being bunked
and it would be q relief to pay a
| little more and get something for
| the money.
For things that have happened In
the past Parker Woodman is in no
way responsible. Since he has en-
tered the theatrical game here he has
done everything he could to better
; it. That it is his intention to better
things at the Elks is evidenced by
the fact that he is doing what he
can to improve it. If he will try to

THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER

Today the theatrical profession is
a huge industry in which more thar
$100,000,000 is invested. There are in
the United States over 5000 theaters
not counting the 10000 or more NOV
ing picture theaters, or circuses, and
halls for general entertainment 1t
has been estimated that during a
good theatrical year there are more
than $4,000 actors and actresses de-
claiming, thrilling and dancing before
the American people. One of the
modern features of the profession is
the travelling company, of which there
are nearly 1000. The estimated value
of the 5000 theaters is nearly $40
100000 while it requires $4,000, 600
annually to pay the players salaries.
About $60,000,00O is distributed among
the thousands of theater employees,
for transportation, advertising, and
to defray the cost of producing the
plays.
Today as a class actors and ac-
tresses are no longer generally con-
sidered pariahs of society. The most
exclusive society circles have been
opened to admit them, and there are
instances where men and women OF
noble birth have given up their social
station for a career on the stage.
Even clergymen have deserted their
pulpits for the boards, while actors
have abandoned the spotlight to take
up careers in the church. Stars of
the theatrical realm, as well as the
lesser lights of the chorus, have sung
and danced their way into the ranks
of royalty and the nobility, not to
mention the multi millionaire set.
Kings have granted them patents of
nobility and. learned societies and in
situations have decorated them with
medals and scholastic degrees.
With the new season at the Elks al
most upon us we would like to ask Mr..
Parker Woodman a question. What
have you done about bringing Sir
Johnston Forbes Robertson to Phoenix
this season?
This great English actor is making
a farewell tour of America with Lady
Robertson Gertrude ELLIOTT. Last
winter he said good bye to New York
and the eastern part of this country
in one of the most extraordinarily sue
cessful engagements in the history of
the stage. Theatergoers throughout
the east turned out in multitudeS to
do honor to one of the greatest actors
of modern times, and critics every
where hailed him as the peer of all
great artists
On September IS he will open the
last half of his farewell tour in De-
troit and work west to the Pacific
coast, where he will say good bye tC
America forever as an actor. 1t is
| not an ordinary farewell tour, to be re-
peated at will. any more than Sir John
ston is an ordinary artist. From Sar
,, Francisco he will sail for Australia
and there he will bid farewell to the
stage. 1t really means good bye and
will mark the passing of not only q
wonderful artist, and perhaps the
worlds greatest Hamlet" but one OF
the really great uplifting forces tEat

Bad Compilations Are
Now Easily Discarded

Every woman has it in her own
hands to possess a beautiful and
youthful complexion. No matter how
soiled, faded or coarse the cuticle, Or
binary mercolized wax will actually
remove it, and Nature will substitute
a skin as soft, clear and lovely as a
child's. The action of the wax is not
drastic, but gentle and agreeable. Min
ute particles of scarf skin come off
day by day, yet no evidence of the
treatment is discernible, other than
the gradual copplexional improve
menta One ounce of mercolized wax,
procurable at any drug store, suffices
for most cases. 1t is put on at bed

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Look Years YOUNGER! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody Will Know.

Almost everybody knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch
ing scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Weyth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound You will get large
bottle for about SO cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe. because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair, as it does it so natur-
ally and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hiar disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger.
