They constitule nearly one-fifth of the 34,144 persons so employed fn the entire nation. In the State of New York alone there are 1,061{ theatrical. managers. To estimate the amount invested by Manhattan: managers in buildings, in scenery and in stage fittings and in copyrights, the large sums of ready cash required to meet the weekly pay-rolls of the army of employees, from star to call boy; the royalties due authors and the numberless items of general and particular expense, is to carry the computation to a point where the total attains the proportions of al Steel Trust balance sheet. To the playgoer an inieresting thing about the opening of every theatrical season is the anticipation it raises in him as a lottery in which a drawing is about to take place. Will he draw a prize of the “Leah Kleshna’’ or “The Music Master” order, or a series of blanks such as every season furnishes? What have the ma in their trunks for him from abroad which he will be ready | to regard as worth a second hearing at hotel ticket-office prices? What has the lottery in store tor the author? Is his play to buy him} another suburt ? Will it gain the chorus girl a coronet or only al millionaire’s young son, to he ransomed in the divorce court? Or will it promote her to be leading lady, as is the case this season with one ambi- tious young woman who two years ago was in the ranks? The new names that appear on the programmes with every year's| opening bewilder the infrequent playgoer. The old favorites pass into eclipse, emerge into temporary prominence at the “continuous” houses and then vanish regretted from all but occasional view. In the number| of new claimants for fame billed every year the hope of the American, stage must lie.. eldef tenet of his philosophy concernins women, more gen- an motehmaker of the unmarried > persistently and nothing can shake it.
