done to insure the failure of the en-

Gus barn of an auditorium, so cold that
the playgoers sat wrapped in furs and
carriage robes and the teeth Of the
actors chartered with something more
than the familiar agitation. 1t was
given without the courtesy of sufii-

an abstracted local management had
neglected such details as providing
water and heat for the dressing rooms
or darkness for the audience. 1t was
given casually and with improvised
scenery.
And yet, because what really mat
ters in the theater was present in
abundance, it was a delightful occa
sion--far richer in entertainment than
are most of the pieces now on view in
New York. For what really matters in
the theater is a group Of good actors

Daily Sessions to Be Held
During the Week.

The first meeting of a subcommittee

pointed to consider the details of the
proposed plan for marketing theater
tickets through central agency was
held yesterday in the offices of the
association. The committee consists
of William A. Brady. chairman of
the subcommittee; Arthur Hopkins,
Edgar Selwyn and Benjamin F. Roeder.

man of the association. was present
as ex-officio member Of the commit
tee
Joseph LEBLANC. who submitted a,
plan for a central agency, again was
before the committee, which went
more fully into details The commit
tee decided to meet daily during the
week to consider the proposition be-
fore it is reported back to the full
committee and subsequently to the as
sociation as whole. 1t was decided
to consult representatives Of the hote!
proprietors. inasmuch as all of the
principal hotels of the city have ticket
agencies which serve their custom
ers, and also representatives Of the
public.
Mr.. Brady said he hoped the COM
mittee would have the matter fully in
hand by the end of the week and by
that time plan so well formulated
would have been worked out that it
would lend itself to early adoption
and when adopted would prove prac-
ticable.
