JOIN, Cort Says
Theatres Are
A Necessity
Manager Considers They
Have Done Their
Full DUTY

The theatre in war times is neces-
sity and not a luxury, and should be
so regarded by the government, con
tends John Cort, manager of the Cort
Theatre. Furthermore, he believes that
between heavy taxes, agitation for ear
ly closing and the conservation move
ment theatricals are being compelled
to bear more than their burden of war
hardships.
although ! have been a Snowman
all my life, am as patriotic as anybody
and an all-wool American, ! think the
theatrical business has had pretty
rough deal from all sides ever since we
went to war;" says Mr.. Cort
"ln the first place it has been the
view of a good many people high in
government office, in business and the
professions that theatrical entertain
ment is a luxury, and as such ought to
be dispensed with during the war,
which is entirely wrong. Such ideas
are fanatical and most injurious
"In England and France it has been
proved that theatrical entertainment
is an absolute necessity during the try
ing war times and to-day the theatres
in London are turning them away. HUI
man nature is the same in war as in
peace. The mind must have diver
sion from daily care. People who work
hard all day have to seek some relaxa-
tlon in the evening to rest up, and
the harder they work the more that
hour of recuperation in needed.
1--WE are not going to win the war by
making nervous wrecks of everybody,
and it seems as if that is what some
folks are trying to do.
"1n fact there has been so much
printed and said about the war that
everybody is a Tired Business Man
now and will continue to be until we
forget about the war once in a while.
We are taxed in every direction these
strenuous days, so it is only natural
that after people have paid the ad-
mission war tax at the box Office they
feel that they have been taxed enough
and want little relief"

"The Land of Joy"
Begins Final Week

Quinito Valverde's fantastic Spanish
review, "The Land of JOY" with the
tnger-snapping, castanetting dancers
and singers, will begin the final week
Of its Naw York run at the Knicker-
booker Theatre Monday evening. No
foreign entertainment imported to this
country has ever created such sensa-
tional fad as has this Spanish zarzuela,
which typifies graphically what in
Spain compares with our native review
No higher tribute could have been paid
to the art of these Spanish players
than the rapidity with which American
impresarios have copied the gorgeous
costumes, exotic music and the native
dances which were shown here for the
first time in the Vclasco Brothers pro-
duction.
