the Baltimore Sheet and Tin Plate
Company was the logical and natural
thing. A home market for a large
part OF its output being assured, un-
usual transportation facilities FOR
domestic and foreign trade at hand,
it was only necessary to perfect an
organization with the experience
necessary to make the most Of such
an opportunity. This Is only one OF
many instances Illustrating the point
in question.
Baltimore's recent industrial de-
velopment has been at an unprece-
dented rate. No visitor to the Curtis
Bay district can fail to be impressed
by the number and the magnitude of
the new enterprises there The har-
Dor appears to be much buster and
tie Industrial strides that the city is
making will undoubtedly result in a
revival Of commerce. A forecast or
this is to be found in the activity in
the construction of new piers, elevat-
ors and other port facilities. The
advent Of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany in the Baltimore district is a
matter of large significance, because
il is n recognition OF the advantages

The management of the Consol-
idated Gas Electric Light and Power
Company has been devoting the best
Of its energies to the development OF
the industrial resources Of Baltimore.
1t is a fruitful work, from which re-
suits are already apparent in a num-
Der of new industries, and ii is the
purpose of the management to con-
tinue its efforts to encourage and
foster new Industries in Baltimore
and to aid those already established
here In increasing in Importance.
The space allotted only allows me
to touch upon some OF the paramount
features which have been impressed
upon me by the experiences OF recent
years in Baltimore. II is a fascinat-
ing thing TO have to do with things
that grow, and now that Baltimore
people have realized such splendid
results from their endeavors OF rec
ent years it is to be hoped that they
will in the future find an added
pleasure and profit in concentrating
their energy and capital in the fur
ther development Of home Industries.

HH
THE THEATER,
BY CHAs. Il. FORD.

OF all institutions that go to make
up a great city, none Is OF more inn
portance to its necessities or to its
attractiveness as the theaters. After
the business strain OF the day, nature
demands mental relaxation, an agree
able distraction, compelling an entire
change Of thought This distraction
may be secured by an interest in
others who are burdened with "the
heartache and the thousand natural
shocks that flesh is heir to-" and
through a sympathy created by the
dramatst, be spurred on by renewed
courage to take up arms against q
sea OF troubles and by opposing, end
them" +"
Then there are others who yearn
for entertainment OF the lighter kind
and feel that "a good laugh is the
proper medicine to drive away dull
care.
Again there is still another class,
the most important Of all to the city,
the stranger; he is away from home
and his first thought is, how can he
pass the evening" The universal an
swer is The Theater." In my judg-
ment the prosperity OF every great
Metropolis is largely dependent upon
its ability to entertain its transient
population, to amuse the visitor who,
compelled to be away from his own
iireside, seeks rational entertainment,
which If found becomes an incentive
to return, but II lacking, discourages
repetition Of his visit.
There Is no American city which
can boast OF a record so rife with
dramatic history as Baltimore.
This was the home of the Booths
Edwin, the greatest exponent OF
Shakespeare of his age. Joseph JEFF
ferson (though not to the Manor
born) spent his early manhood here,
Rising from an humble stock player
to the most eminent and most be-
loved comedian of the English speak
ing stage
John lI. Owens always called this
his home, as did John Sleeper Clarke,
both famous comedians without
peer, during their long and success
full careers.
1t may be interesting to note that
the first dramatic performance given
in our State took place in 1852 at
Annapolis by an English Company.
In 1873 Baltimore's first playhouse
was converted warehouse, corner
of Baltimore and Frederick Streets.
where an English company played
from time to time. Although Balti-
more was then but a village the
theatergoing spirit was active. so
much so that the managers built
playhouse at Water and Albemarle
