PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916
Opera Houses for All!
I If LOOKS very much as If Philadelphia xvoa lo he einbarinascd with mom
riches In the opera house line. We hae the Metropolitan occupied almost.
. tmee a week by the nrl It was built for. Wo lmvo the Academy of Music
housing amateur opera every now and then, stray lectures and recitals and the
weekly concerts of the Orchestra, And now that Hammcrstcln appears lo have
Wade enough money from his cigar-rolling machinery to enture n new tilt with
Tart and the courts, we may expect a third creat opetatlc building farther
down broad street.
Waste, Waste, Waste
Now there aro a good many angles to this situation which aren't so pleasing
lis the nrosoect of moro cood opera. It Is absurdly evident that building thrct
Tiubo theatres suitable only for musical
when Ull tho musical conts of a slnclo season could bo housed in one. it 11
also more than likely that, lhounh Ilammersteln'a competition may be useful
In driving tho Metropolitan to Rive us better casts nnd newer operas, he will
discover that Philadelphia cannot or will not support u Bolld reason of gland
opera nt grand prices. Then some one will have to buy him out. Next x'.uitlo
Vllle movies and the rest is silent.
Why Pamper Grand Opera?
But nil that Isn't half so alarming as the evidence Mr. Hnmtncistelii once
again supplies of the absurd notion that the bastard ait ot grand opera lo so
sacrosanct as to warrant endowment, while the far greater, far moro dcmoctiitlc
art of drama goes on Its poverty-stricken, hand-to-mouth va. 1'osslbly grand
opera couldn't exist without millions behind It, though it might go a good way
toward sojvlng tho problem by tho simple expedient of paying Us artists some
thing near decent, normal salaries. It Is the misfortune of the drama that it
can struggle along In a sort of a way on tho cvery-day patronage of the people.
And of course It has to struggle.
Tie requirements of the present day commercial theatre degrade Its art
and put up a barrier of two-dollar prices against both the appreciative and the
unappreclatlvo multitude which made the Greek drama and tho HH-uibothan
drama what It was. Nobody thinks of endowing a popular theatre to give the I
average person good, entertaining plajs at decent prices. And nobody thinks I
t r,,,Mlni tit. Irttitnln ,f l.lcrtt.nrlnil titill.HrntV ilrnmn frlvotl 111 II niVltn !
corresponding to the opera. Tho Hammerstelns fly to the tleshpots of the lyric
ftage.
A "Social Event" for the "T. U. At."
But why not build n Hammcrsteinlan house for tho dinma? Kxery element
could bo supplied that makes opera-giving popular. Its prices could be set nt
tho exclusive flx-c-doliar mark. Its actors could be paid as fabulous salaries as
Caruso and Farrar. Its scenery could bo finite ns badly painted. Its audi
torium could bo made quite ns preposterously laige. It is wen possible that
Its audience could be gathered by tho same bait of the "social event." Surelv,
surely, matrons might admire their friends' costumes as thoroughly, while ll is
oven probable that the husbands would find their forced relaxation after tin
day's work not half so boring.
Missing a Good Failure
Such solemn thoughts nro appropriate to this season the dullest In ye.us
They are more than npproprlato to this particular xveek In this paitlcular senson.
Baltimore, Just around the corner, hai been witnessing John Galsworthy's
finest drama, "Justice." xvlilch Walter Prlchard Eaton describes on another page.
Boston with some six or sex-eu ilrst-class houses to Philadelphia's live will find
plenty of room for "Justice" in a xveek or txx'o. In general, now that Philadelphia's
theatres, have been reduced In number, our city seems to bo enjoying too much
prosperity. There nro too many long runs nnd no gaps for nox-eltlcs outside the
accepted Broadway successes of last season. Boston sees "try-outs" of nexv plays
for Hodge and Tellegen, and n first production by Krohman nnd Helasco more
than a dozen such nox-eltles, In fact, to Philadelphia's two or three.
Forward, Money Bags!
Mr. Baton thinks "Justice," with its stnrk realism, may be doomed to failure
on Broadway. Another Inducement to Mr. Hammersteln and his love for money
losing! K. M.
Enter a Leading Man
With Ui opening for the week at tho
Knickerbocker Theatre tomorrow The
Players xvlll Introduce a new leading man
In tho person of John Warner, lato o the
Rochester ttock' company.
Mr. Warner was born in Boston nnd lie
has been on the stage virtually since his
childhood days. He has been a member of
stock organizations in his native city.
Richmond, New York and Rochester and
has also scored success on the road in
"Stop Thief" and a number of successful
productions by Frohman, Cohan & Har
ris, Klaw & Erlanger and others.

at the Broad Street Theatre. Broad street
below Locust street, on Thursday after
noon, March 1C, at 2:30 o'clock. Admis
sion by membership card or by resorxed

LETTERS
Alas, Those Censors
To the Photoplay Kdltor.
Sir If you should see fit to publish this
in your Saturday column, I should be
X'ery much pleased. I read w:th Interest
your arraignment of the Pennsylxanln
Board of Useless Censors and you stated
the case very clearly. These parasites
preying upon a great Industry must be
certainly quaking for the Jobs they strive
so valiantly to derend. They actually have
the audacity to apply for an extension of
the power so foolishly bestowed and to
pose as a friend of the Industry nnd public
They seem In their ignorance to bellexe
that their petty prejudices are to be rev
erenced as If they came front a truly wise
body endowed with insight into life,
miraculous Intelligence, and -ast experi
ence and not from such a short-sighted,
narrow-minded collection of ill-assorted
fanatics as Breltlnger et al. have shown
themaelx-es to be. They can not be im
partial, or they would lose their ill-gotten
gains. It was nothing short of mad
ness to give such fanatics power. In their
astounding report tltoy complacently af
firm that but for their er-ready shears
pictures would be failures and morals
shattered.

The Unpatriotic American
To the Photoplay LMItor.
Sir As I am a daily reader of jour
paper, l wish to ask you to publish these
few words and wnko tho people of Phila
delphia up.
I attended this evening's performance
at the Lafayette Photoplay's Theatre,
2914 Kensington axenue, to see "The Uat-
. tie Cry of Peace," and while there they
piayea all or our rax-orlte American pieces,
and not one, except my boy and I, had
backbone enough to stand up while they
were being played, is It not proper In
Kensington, as wherever I go in town to
a show, they seem to respect the Amer
ican songs. It seemed to me that the
people looked at each other, nnd Btlll sat
In their seats ; not ono of them wanted to
start. Are they ashamed, or what is It?
What do they Intend to do for their coun
try? If they Intend to xvalt until the
other one starts, let them stand up for
their rights and not wait until they are
told to stand up,
I am very orry to think we have a few
thoughtless people in this world

"After tho act, both du Maurlcr and I,
laughing nt tho joke, wero discussing in

We both expected to bo flrcd. and we
were tickled to death becauso In our
youthful enthusiasm we had upset the
dignity of such a serious actor. Soon
a messenger came, asking us to visit Mr.
Tree In his dressing room. Pit Maurlcr

I could hear what Tree said. "
