q far more important man in the
making of film than in the staging
of a play and it is not always the
case it is nevertheless difficult 10
account for the pedestal upon which
ne is customarily placed. There is
many competent director staging
plays to-day who is heard Of but sell
dom by the public. But good film
director, and sometimes a bad one,
shares the publicity with the star.
There was, for instance, Hugh
Ford. who is but little known outside
the profession. That he is at present
a director in pictures has nothing to
do with the case. But it was Mr.
Ford who staged potash and Perl
mutter," and in staging it he did as
much for it as any picture director
ever did for a film. He did more than
stage it, he built it. So valuable
we're his services, in fact, that he is
said to have been paid royalty upon
the play. Yet few persons heard Of
Mr.. Ford in connection with the pro
duction Of Potash and Perlmutter."

more at the Ncighborhood Theatre
this week. The address is 466 Grand
Street, and the performances Wedncs-
day and Thursday. The proceeds. in
cdcntally, will accrue to the strik-
ing cloak and suit makers.
The willingness OF Cohan & Harris
to part with so prominent a theatre as
the Aston emphasizes the fact that a
New York playhouse is an expensive
institution. Inasmuch as Broadway
rentals range from $4,000 to $4,000
a year, il is not surprising that many
managers prefer to have somebody else
run the theatre, even though II means
q division Of the profits earned by a
production. The $500 or S65, 900, Of
course, must be spread over a period
not exceeding forty weeks. Adding the
general operating expenses to this
amount, the cost of maintaining the
atre during the season is frequently
as high as $500 week. This amount
includes only the theatre and IT'S
attaches; the production is another
matter.
Thus, when an attraction receives SO
40 per cent, it is necessary for play
10 average $4,000 weekly before the
owner or lessee OF the theatre can
make any money. We're il not for
these high figures many play would
be able to enjoy a long metropolitan
run. But few plays can long cocrcc
$4,000 weekly from the popular
pocket, and when the receipts drop

Quently becomes dissatisfied and de

the man who has an expensive theatre
on his hands, whereas an attraction
Of less worth has chance 10 remain
for q season in one Of the less promi-
nent plsyhouses.
Not that the high cost Of theatre
owning is lettering the managers in
the least. for there will be at least two
new playhouses IN town next season. ii
is TO be noted. however. that Cohan &
Harris, who are reasonably certain 10
have three or four successes annually

CAR HITS COW
Occupants of Automobile Escape with
Few Bruises.

Beresford, Oct 9.--Striking a COW
in a roadway and having the automo-
bile in which they were riding over
turned while going at a high rate of
speed without being seriously hurt
was the thrilling experience of Joel
Jacobson, a farmer living near Beres-
ford, and a stranger who was riding
with him. The COW was in high grass
beside the road when the car APP
preached, and becoming frightenec,
jumped into the road ~squarely in
front of the automobile. The impact
when the car and COW collided was
terrific, and the a was turned over
quickly. Jacobson was pinned under
the car. but was rescued by the
stranger, who, fortunately, had been
thrown clear of the automobile.
Neither man had more than a few
scratches. They did not know how
seriously the COW was injured.
