Tootlo’s play, “Cheated,” was tried out this week by the Ball stock company in Wheeling, W. Va. Newspaper accounts would indicate that Mr. Tootle has a valuable piece of theatrical material. He writes us he will fix it up a little and let the Broadway managers have a look at it A FIRST NIGHT POST. What about the persistent applauder at theatrical first nights? Are we going to let him live, or sball we have a guillotine set up in the retir- ing room for his especial use. He Is usually a friend of the manager or author or is acquainted with some- body in the cast. We wonder if he realizes, as he sits there pounding his palms so vigorously, that he is disturbing the other customers. What about him, folks? Hadn't we L tter take up a collection for the purchase of a guillotine? We'll contribute a couple of kopecks. AN EQUITY DENIAL. A denial that its policy for the eoming season has in any way been altered comes from the Equity, This follows the publication of a statement aceredited to the Touring Managers’ Association intimating that the Equity was secking to compromise on the form of the independent contract “Equity,” says Frank Glllmore, the Executive Secretary,'“wishes to meet all managers who wish to discuss our mutual problems. But we are not considering any compromise on the Equity shop.” AXEL SHOULD WORRY.
