Frances Demarest looks prettier as

than in any other OF the numerous
costumes she wears. Not only is the
simple black frock becoming To her
blond beauty, but her figure looks
simmer and more graceful than at
any other time during the play, al
though she is perpetually extremely
easy to look at. There are minutes in
her acting of the scenes from the bur

TINE new type Of manager h In
teresting tho theatre world
Just now. The men who d.
rected the world Of amusement
turing the past score Of years are
limited in number. Already there
has been the first vanguard Of a new
type OF managers. They are not per-
haps so picturesque as their predeces-
sors of the generation ahead Of our
own, but they are businepslike. No
body could claim that the theatre
manager Of the last score Of years
has not been sufficiently commercial
in his methods. That has been, indeed.
the greatest achievement Of the i'm
presario Of our time.
The entrepreneur Of the present day
placed the affairs of the theatre on a
business basis like that of any other
commercial enterprise. Playwrights
and actors, landlords, costumers and
all purveyors Of the needs of the thea

they are in any other business, This
was the highest achievement OF the
managers Of our time. 1t cannot be said
that any Of their accomplishments on
the artistic side were 30 important.
So the newer type Of manager finds
abe theatre already so systematic on
its commercial side that nothing is
needed there. It's ~businesslike admin
istratton to-day Is so deeply seated,
moreover, that It will probably he i'm
possible for 1t yer to return to the
fld shiftless ways of the '70s and the
earlier years.
SO Il might we'll be the a OF
these younger managers to concen-
Arate their attention on the artistic
side OF their profession in order to
distinguish their generation from Its
Immediate predecessor. In that way
they will return to a type which
found its highest incarnation in Au-
eustin DAILY.
Whether or not this theatre manager
will ever again reappear Is uncertain
In the meantime, the most striking
characteristic observable in the new
arrival is his modesty. The new man
Bger evidently has no desire to see
himself exploited at the cost OF all
probability. The old fashioned Falken-
