Tower an Asset

Almost 100000 people a month visit the tower Of the
Empire State building in New York, the tallest office
structure in the world. They pay a dollar for the view
over Gotham and the owners Of the building estimate
that the revenue from this source alone will be about
100000. After the novelty has worn off, it is be-
lieved that the revenue per year from tower fairs will
reach s75o,o0o or almost two per cent Of the cost of the
building.
ing. 1t costs fifty cents to view the city from that eleva-
ton. Visitors to that tower have been contributing some
$4,000 a year for seventeen years. This is an annual
return Of more than one per cent on a valuation of
50. 100000.
Towers pay If they are high enough and the view Is
interesting.

Gilbert Swan

New York, June 13.-In this town.
where SO many people are supposed to
go to "the devil" it's surprising how
many angels a be found who are
willing to perch on the point of an
electric bulb!
Fact is. in this day and age few
theatrical producers put up their own
money for their own shows. The So
called smart boys generally find
other sources. Years ago, the Fro
hams and Belascos and all such
backed their own shows and person.
ally attended to the casting and di-
recting. Purchases of big theater
chains established bookings" all over
the nation and Broadway became
more and mor a real estate PROPOSE
ton, with groups holding their houses
for rentals.
Now it so happens that in this mans
town there are certain gents who
have wives, daughters and girl friends
obsessed with the notion that they
are actresses. 1t merely remains for
a play to come along, find a producer,
put up the mOney-and on she goes.
The results are generally more than
slightly sad. Time and again, I have
attended performances where wives
would have been far better off back
in the kitchen and where sweetheartS
would have been better off in rumble
seats.
At any rate. a certain stage pro-
duction opened within the past few
weeks.
Up in the Bronx there was a proud
father. He had made a nice bit of
money in business and he had a
daughter who had been quite a riot
in the amateur and little theater
groups. Why couldn't she have her
name on Broadway? Why not in
deed!
Considering the nature OF the play,
a mere matter of $4,000 or there
abouts vas required.
An 20 the performance opened on
Broadway, with first night critics on
hand and, of course, scores of friends
from "up town."
When it was all over, the proud
mama and papa rushed to the stage,
followed by a large parade of gushers,
and a good time vas had by all at the
get-together that followed.
No harm done, as you can see.
There rarely is, except to some
youngsters ego and some angels
pocketbook.
Look, look" the proud mother re-
peated, "Just to think I should have
a daughter that is a leading lady in
the theater 49,. a big STAR"
The next morning, I picked up the
newspapers and read the reviews with
more than passing interest. They
were 100 per cent anti! The first
night crowd had not been particularly
enthusiastic -. often it had laughed
at the wrong time.
Yes, the daughter had appeared as a
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1931-06-13

leading lady in the bright lights belt.
And then what? Critics COM
mented on how the audience had
laughed-when there was no intent
to be funny. They had mighty little
to say that will help her get ahead.
One wonders what happens around
the family tables when these reviews
are received and read.
Yet there seems to be no cure!
Year after year. they go on doing the
same thing. There's at least one a
month in season, and several when
the season begins and ends.
And to me, at least, it's one of the
things Booth Harrington should write
about in that vein he has used in de-
scribing some Of the most pathetic
family dinners I have ever read
about.

Simplified Spelling

Some of The most brilliant minds the world has known
have been possessed by persons who were poor spoilers
and it may be recognition Of this fact which is stlmulat-
ing simplified spelling organizations to renewed activity.
These folk. organized In both America and England,
include in their membership such well-known names as
Sir Robert Baden-Powell and Irving Fisher, famous Yale
economist. They have but one object which is the elm
nation of so-called useless or confusing letters from the
spelling of current words.
They agree that it would be a lot easier and better to
spell words as they sound rather than to bother with
looking up the right way or taking the chance of mis-
spelling it. The claim is made that this idea. If uni
versally applied. would give a quick and easy solution to
"the problem Of an international auxiliary language"
The new language which the simplfied spelling pro-
duces is called Anglic and is very little different from
that which was in use in Shakespeare's time. Anyone
who has had occasion to browse through works in Old
English will recall how difficult they were to under
stand, even though the words used were practically the
same as most Of those in the language today. Ore OF the
troubles was with the spelling.
Just by way Of illustrating the charms of Angelic, the
~simplified spelling society, in its magazine. reprints
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address as follows in part:
"Forskor and sewn yeerz agoe our faadherz
braut forth on this continent a nue. naeshon,
konseevd In liberty, and dedikaeted to the prop
ozishon that al men ar kreaeted eequel.
Now we ar engaged in a great sivil wor, test
ing whedhr that naeshon, or eny naeshon soc
konseevd and soc dedikaeted, kan long enduer.
We ar met on a graet BATTLEFIELD of that wor. We
have KUN to dedikaet a porshon of that field as
a fienl resting plaes for those who heer gaev
their lievs that that naeshon MET liv. It is
a~ultogedhr fitting and propr that We shood do
this"
And 50 on down to government of the peepl, by the
peepl, for the peepl, shall not perish from the urth."
That the idea ever will get far in its entirety seems i'm
probable, although no one questions the progress made
by such words as tho thru" and others. The
language is constantly changing and revisions Of ortho-
graphy as we'll as Of syntax are brought about by time.
just as the language we spell and know has changed
greatly since Shakespeare's day.
Had the s~implified spoilers gained prominence while
we still were in school we should have been keen for their
success. As it is we shall have to adopt the time-tried at
titude of the cynical. We shall wait and see and continue
to worry about how to %spel-how do you spell that word
We always misspel?
