In addition to the gen- eral supervision be is supposed to exercise over every department of the theitro behind the cur~ tain, he ASSIGNS THE DIFFERENT PARTS to the compauy, eolecting for a 1ole the artist in his opinion best qualifiod for it. In this he is guided, and frequently misguided, by the con~ tracts of the actors themselves. If a man is en- gaged for **leading business” he must have the lesding part. If an inferior part is givon him ho sends it back, refuses to plav it, and insits that it i not in his agreement. He profers Mr. Roughandready’s part, which onght to have been given to him in the first place. The stage- manager is compelled eituer to topple Mr. Iioughandreads's smbition by takiug the part away from him, and giving him that which Mr. Tooswect:olive has promptiy declined, or let the latter gentleman cherish the ineult he Das received in the frons of the theatre, or of some other theatre, vowing immediate veuzeance iu Jawsuit, or fingering his nnglots with con- temptuous oass wiien uhic matter is referred to by bie numerous admirers.

The short interval is uscd to clear away the debris of the act previous, and 1aake room for thie splendors of the next. It 1y tho custom among managers mowadays to adapt their picces when possible to the necessities of upholsterer and staze-carpenter, making each sceNo into AN act, or compressing eacn act into a scepe. This i8 tho consequence of the nesr system of elaborate mouating introduced com- paratively recently on the staze. When such iuteriots of drewing-rooms and gardens as are nowadays demanded como to be finished it ia found that there is a stupondons job ou band to remove aud reset them. — So cumbrons is it that the interval of a brief shifted scene will ot ad- mit of rearrangement. The whole cutracte is neccesary for the change. This must exert an effect upon tho construction of dramas o long as it is adhered to, and may possibly pro~ long tho lifo of the *modern societs " school, 0 called, by the very habit it 18 encouraging.

It soon becomes evident that the manazor does not know wiat the interior of an educaied gen~ tlewan’s bouse i, and to draw his own conclu~ siops is the inalienable right of every man.

It cannot be said that the past week has bsen propitious for managers as a rule. The weather Lias suddenly re-asserted its power to exhaust just when everybody concluded that thesaummer was cold in death, and the Exposition has called ot the paople to begin ‘anew the task of enumer- auing its treasures of industry and art, learning 1ta mysterious 1ecexsen, and being seeu by every- body while onjoying tho same privilege in re- turn. These misfortunes tho theairos have borne comfortably, the mauagers knowing tall well that strangers will be coming to the city ehortly, aud that the residents will soon tire of ihe one aitraction, aud return to the frequant change of the others.
