THE SIX-HOUR DAY

To the Editor of tho Epening Ledger:
Sir-I do not believe God wants man to
work from a. m. until p. m.-that is
Just to slave his life away to maintain
livelihood. Some men have to start early
in the morning for work and return late at
night. working hard all day. Such a one
manages TO wash up for supper, ofttimes too
tired to eat or read the paper after supper.
He has to retire early to enable himself to
be fit for labor the next day. Just think
of it-eat. work, eat, sleep, eat work
Nothing else out of life, no time with his
family! I say I do not believe God re-
quires such life of any one. 1 firmly
believe God would be better pleased with
conditions IL we had five working days, six
hours each day. giving man a day, not
robbing God of His day ! firmly believe
that six hours a day Is the correct thing

AN EARLY THEATRICAL FUROR

DHILADELPHIA's first great theatrical
L furor was excited by the arrival in 1911
Of George Frederick Cooke. the English
tragedian
In those days there was no advance-seat
sale, the method being for servants. or
persons temporarily retained for the occa-
sion. to stand in line for places. and when
the doors were opened rush in to seize seats.
in which they remained until their en-
ployers came to claim their places.
AS early as the Sunday evening preced-
ing Cookies first performance the steps OF
the theatre were covered with men pre-
pared to spend the night. Some Of them
actually took off their hats and put on
nightcaps By Monday morning the streets
were impossible. and by that evening the
crowd at the theatre was so great that II
was evident that ticket holders. especially
ladies. would not be able to make their way
into the building without danger.
The management was in a quandary. Az
last 1t was decided to depart from custom
and placard was displayed saying that
those who held admission tickets could go
In through the stage door. This so clogged
that approach. however. that when Cooke
arrived he was obliged to make himself
known before even he, the object Of all this
f1attering attention. could force a passage
through. He did this by calling out:
Il am that man going to be hanged who
told the crowd they would have no fun
unless they made way for him!"
The criticisms that appeared next day
make one feel that all this eagerness to see
Cooke act was justified. The receipts Of
the arst night were s1604, and the prices
OF seats were not high. Box seats brought
only 81.
Cooke was the first of the English stars
to visit Philadelphia, but many other tra-
gedians followed him. excited. probably, by
reports OF the wonderful reception he had
had here. II was therefore a heavy blow
when the playhouse in which he ap-
peared-the Chestnut Street Theatre
burned down on April 2. 1890, Plans
Tor rebuilding were Immediately made.
