PRODUCERS WILL
SAVE PENNIES

What Morris meant was that pro.
ducers this season win economic TO
the last penny. The audience Is the
only thing that's looking up In the
show business this year.
In tho last fortnight I have seen
seven new Broadway shows. Six OF
them evidenced penury on the part
OF the producer. In one there was
no change OF scenery. In another
only one change. and the settings
reeked OF the warehouse.
These productions also evidenced n
tendency TO fiji minor roles with low.

A canvass OF producers indicates
there will be fewer musical reviews.
fewer specialIes and more plays
with small casts this season. This
goes for road shows. too. they'll be
forced to economic by high railroad
rates and lowered admission prices.

Trickinq Fate.

Every Hindoo must have a son to
perform the proper rites in his behalf
so that he may be released from pur-
gatory after death, says Asia Maya
zine. Especially cursed, therefore, is
he whose fate it is to be sonless. One
such, a Brahmin, propitiated the god
Vishu and obtained a boon. He asked
Tor a son, but, since a son was not in
the mans fate. Vishu refused. Twice
this happened. but the third time the
Brahmin asked that his merriments
might be shared by gods and men
alike. This was granted. He then
went home, locked his door and. with
his wife, began to sing and dance.
Thereupon, all the gods and men, by
the terms of the boon, We're compelled
to sing and dance with him. and the
business of the universe was brought
to a %standstill. "Stop," begged the
gods. "Only when you grant me a
son." answered the Brahmin. And he
had his way.
