to His Oracle
Goes to Determine
Fate of New Play

Can you tell whether play is TO
succeed or fail?
That is question often debated in
theatrical circles. The managers-the
men who perhaps have the most at
stake are quite likely to admit that
they can't. But not so any one else
around theater or play.
There are signs-all kinds of signs.
And each particular sign is infallible.
There were interesting visitations of
the oracles during the trepidations Of
the first week of Avery Hopwood' 8
why Men Leave Home" at the Nor
CISCO Theater
First there was the box-office man
the theater treasurer. He kept one eye
on the window and the other on the
ticket brokers all week. When the
brokers sold 143 seats for the second
night Of the play, the treasurer nodded
his head wisely and said, sit looks
pretty good" On Thursday night the
brokers sold 1852 seats.
Now the mere outsider might not
think that particularly significant. But
tits in," the box office man announced,
meaning that the play was success.
Thursday night is always an off night,
yet the agencies sold more than they
did last night. Nothing will stop it
now"
When the agencies went over the
200 mark the box-office man stopped
worrying. He had consulted the oracle,
And his oracle had answered o. X.
Then there was the man on the door.
The doorman is just as solicitous as
the producer. And he, too. has his
oracle
First nights don't count. Then all
the little oracles veil their faces before
the prophets of the press. But the
second night and every night there
after things are different
1t is the end of the first act. Inter
mission is eight minutes long, Pa
tiently the doorman waits until he re-
celves the curtain call. Then he an
nounces to tho lobby, Curtain going
up" After that he watches. The
oracle is about to speak
"This is in" says the doorman. "How
do l know? "This lobby floor is lit
tered with half-smoked cigarettes and
even cigars that had barely been
lighted. Curtain going up and down
go cigarettes and cigars. They didn't
want to miss word.
what do they do when it a flop ?
Spend half the second act on the side
walk and, il they can persuade the lady
to go, leave it fat before the third act
ever begins"
And last, but by no means least,
is the colored boy whose duty it is 20
open the door of machines as they ar
rive before the play.
Can he tell whether play has
caught on? He most certainly can.
Eyes sab, dis yer play is sure nuff
hit, Use telling you"
How come, George, how come ?" You
ask him.
e "Why, boss. Use jest limozine blind
tonight | amp
And that's his oracle.
