REVIVAL OF STOCK COMPANIES A Not Improbable OQutcome of the Present State of' Affairs--Mod- Jeska’s London Debut— Etage Progress. Thratrical Prosp cte. The recent. decision of the interstate commerce commissioners 1n what i known as the Baltimore & Ohio case is likely to produce a profound effect upon the theatrical enterprises of this coun- wy. What is called the combination system, the touring of stated routes by nomad troupes of actors, had hardly displayed the old stock-company organ- izations when the interstate commerce law fell upon it with disastrous force. The concessions of special rates and of passes in the ratio of the combination’s numbers becomes at once illegal. For a little while some bvassen- gor agents slily evaded the law, so that tull faves were not by any means paid by every member of the wandeving troupe, says the New York Sun. But the jenlousy of competing managers and the undeniable earnestness of the new commission soon put an end to this illicit teafic. It was, however, re- placed by a recourse to what was callea the picnie or excursion party device, whereby any band of theatricul tour- ists exceeding ten in number obtained such reductions of fave in the aggres gate as are lawful in the cases of bona fide excursionists, This fact was first brought to the notice of the inters commission by the very manage recently appenled to the commission to establish a modus vivendi: and their too candid presentation of their case, instead of bettering their fortunes, last weok ipduced the closing of the lust loopholo. Hereaft such organizutions as the Casino one company, some seventy- five people strong, must like an ervant aie of negro minstrels, pay not only ull faiv for every individunl momber, but must pa or excess of baggage to the uttermost farthing, The sev consquence of this decision may be in- ferved fv the t that one comic opern company, which went direct to Chicago from New York. had to play four nights belore it reimbursed for tho cost of the journe this s tho combination managers cing to the appearance of another quite as ruinous prosvect.

The local managers of the f understand that next season now the road will bo strewn with . and that o very small pevcentage of the co- terprises gayly launched in the fall will cver inuke a winter harbor. It is the logical result of this apprehen- sion that several of our larger cities will once more be favored by revivals of thatonly veal school of acting, the old-fusinoned rosident stocic company. Until that most desirable consequence of the ruling of the interstute commerce commissioners shall aveive, we must continuc to rely upon the sole existing nursery of worn st the dramatic art, the well- > of the variety show.

But the fact remains as Boucicault has put it. Shakespeare wrote his plays for the theatre of his time and not for the fastidious taste of ours, and he and his collaborateurs had a keoun, practical, dramatic or theatric sense of how to reach the somewhat coarse sen- sibilities of that time.
