Business is Bad at Theaters ROM every point come news of poor business at th theater, and manager are now busier concerned with looking for th cause ' thereof than In any other direction. Many reasons 2 are given for the existing depression, which Is . nation wide In It extent, and each contributing cause la getting It due consideration. Th first and greatest trouble Is that we hate too many theaters and not enough attractions. This condition Is due to th greed of th big producing man agers, who, eager to secure all the profit possible, hav brought about a situation that will not easily be remedied. New York, which" Is th principal amusement center of th country, ha In dally opera tion mora first-clan theater than Lon don and Pari combined, and these are a.11 operated at a. high cost to the management. It Is essentially desirable that they be provided with attraction sufficiently potent to mak them profit able. . It 1 but natural that a producer should want to hav his company located In New York If possible, for ther th ex pens t lea and th chance for Income are greater. But the condition require the preaence In New York at all time of by far th greater number of thoae people or combination who ar rightfully classed under th heading of "attrac tions." This leave little for thejtheatera outside the great metropolis, save those actor who hav established themselves In the smaller center and ar not rated as strong enough for Broadway, ' Still another factor la th failure of the managera to produce play, no matter of , SUNDAY Table d'Hole Diane." 40c and 50c. 11 A.

All of which means that the problem for the managers today is to revive th interest of the public In the theater. This can be done In only one way by offering such attractions a will com mand attention; star that have ability to comend them, and not mere eccentrici ties or the evanescent charm of soma personal pecularlty, presented In play which bear on their faco the slamp of merit, and to reduce the number of (pen and operated playhouses to a basis that w II provide ample profit without levying too hlKh a tax on the community that Is expected to support 'them. This Is easier said than done, but the managers are Just now consulting their own Interest as they have not In many years, and with the facts plainly before them. It 1s not too much to assume that they will be guided by wisdom rntruer than self-conceit, and maybe out of the catastrophe that seems to Impend will come real good for te cause of the slag In America.
