To me, the difference between a house

more of the qualities of a couch, and has

the simple expedient of the use ot a

The majorltj' of the theatrical managers
are already making tentative plans for
that date.

David Helasco's production of "Tiger

Monday, stood not upon the order of
Its going. It has been hurriedly moved
lo New York. Without telling the con
fiding New York public a word about

makes the ."Announcement Kxtraor-

the New York papers that, "yielding
to popular demand" he will present

I the lights go up again.
No announcement has been made
about the impelling attraction at the

tion will continue.

single exception to this is the news that

tho two new one-act American operas,
although the .composers, Joseph Hrcll
and Adam Hugo, aro both unknown to

"What will be the opening opera on
Monday evening, November 19? Well,
Mr, Gattl has chosen one of the modern
French works, 'Marouf,' an opera that
Ik said to glorify the Arabian Nights
Tales.' "
A feature of the visit of the Paris
Conservatoire Orchestra to Philadelphia
on October 14, provided the theatre

The Change
Immediate Results of the Closing Order on Attractions in
Philadelphia, and the Shifting Tidesjtf Foot-
light Fortunes in General
SO LONO na life goes 111 Its ncctis
tomed grooves people accept privi
leges as a matter of course. This fact
has been brought homo to Philadelphia
by the sudden closing ot all places ,of
amusement "until further notice," which
Is generally understood lo mean until a
week from next Monday. This closing
will Impress upon tho public what a big
lHace theatres have In the life ot the
community Iind the realization of the
Importance of entertainment will un
doubtedly for a lime nt least benefit the
playhouses,
TIIK people, of the theatre are ac
customed to the. unexpected. Par
ticularly In the case of traveling com
panies are the executive forces compelled
to meet sudden emeigencles. Those In
charge are onlj' asked oho. question by
their homo oillce, "Did you glvo tho
performance?" No matter how illillcult
tlm task the repl.v must be In the af
firmative. So tlda piesent einetgency
finds them planning hastily for changes
of route. Mr. ltelarro's "Tiger Hose"
Journeys al once tc New York until the
ban hero Is lifted, duy Hates Post will
possibly also go awjiy temporarily vvitli
"The Musqtieradcr." "Leave It to Jane,"
"Chu Chin Chow"' and iilorlanua" may
remain and wall for the tesclndlng of
tho order, t'ncertalnty Is the only cer
tain thing at this stage, but with the
majority of organizations they are Just
marking time, waiting for tho ban on
theatregolng to be removed, especially
since tlicattcs In Boston and Washington
aro closed, and New York maj- follow
suit any moment. '
TI1M two new dramatic offerings of
the week, "The Matquerader" and
"Tiger 1loe," arc. In their different
ways, notable examples of the possibili
ties nf the tricks of the rlage Since
both have been temporarily shelved by
tlie closing order, extended retrospective
comment upon them here seems super
fluous. Hut it may be said, briefly, that
tho only real merit of "Tiger P.ose" lies
In the Helasco staging and the acting,
while "The Masquerader" haw these
things nt least In equally great degree
and, In addition. Is conspicuously better
ns a, play. "Tiger Hose" Istrt even a
good melodrama, for the last art goes
to pieces' without the vestige of an
effectivo climax. IVut "The Mnsuuerndcr'
has u capital plot, In which (he suspense
Is built up with rate skill, and the acting
of duy Hales Post III a illillcult dual
lole, necessitating a number of changes
nnd employing many qf the most ndrolt
tricks of Iho stag'. Is superlatively line
The piece Is essentially thrall leal, hut
while the curtain Is up P focni entirely
plausible, thank to the artistic restraint
of the star In n role Hint tempi to
overplaying, and the udmlrable work of
bis associate players. It Is sincerely to
be hoped that "Tho Mnsquerader" will
again be ptesented when the order clos
ing the theatre Is rescinded.
T,
suspen
sion of theatrical affairs In Philadel
phia affords nn opportunity for a more
general survej of the theatre. Ah with
the world nutsldo, the tlieatre for the
last few years lias been In a state of
llux. There has been a passing of the
elder generation, and the coming of tlie
new one. Tho motion picture ha taken
Its place at one nf the great Junctions
In entertainment,' popular pre vaude
ville ha gained a great public, nnd
where there were some yenrs ago n few
theatre, toda.v there are scores.
Theatio-golng Is a habit. Kxperl
enced theatrical men state that their
audiences change practlrnllv In thrcn
yearB nnd entirely lu five. There were
pinnj-' thousands of people In town and
cities who never went Into n tlieatre Hut
tho moving plctiur have changed all
that. As children the boys and girls get
a nickel tn go to the movies. They be
come accustomed to theatrical enter
tainment. As they grow up their desire
for the theatre o the spoken word I
developed and they become regular at
tendants. Throughout the country there
has been a general Improvement In the
legular theatre. This hns been partlcil
larlj true fn tho one-night stands and
smaller cllle's. Hut the theatrical mali
ngers have found that they havo a more
discriminating public to deal with.
THAT public which goes lo tlie tliea
tre now demands players and plays
of qualltj.. Tho rough, unfinished prod
uct that used to satisfy Is now refused
It was this development In tnslc which
caused the passing of what was known
as tho "ponular-nrlce" circuits with their
lurid melodramas. The public delights
In melodrama, but It must bo well done
and conslnently done. An excellent ex
ample of the sort of melodrama now
demanded Is that produced by Itlchard
Walton 'fully In "Tho Mnsquerader."
AS TIIK taste of tho public ban

tho duy of the young man lu tho theatre,
He is coming Into his own with a ven
geance. Thej are nt tacking the task of
providing entertainment with n vision
which Is not dulled by looking only on
the brlglrt lights of Broadway; they

with them much of the unspoiled tin

And propaganda ptays have failed
and failed for that Very leason. The
public does not go to the theatre to
be preached, to. if thej' want preach
ing they go to their churches, if they
want Instruction they go to schools and
universities nnd Chautauqua courses!
but when they go to the thoatrn and
find they are being preached lo they
resent It and soon the ptopaganda play
goes Its way Into oblivion, with the
late but tinlamented "Ulg Chance" as
a glaring example.
-ITrAHTIMHS generally spell
prosperity
prosperity
VV for the theatre, but that
only comes after the general publlo
has adjusted Itself to the unusual con
ditions brought about by the conflict.
Since this great war started the tlieatre
In this country lias been generally pros
perous, in New York lost season they
had one of the lines! and most pros
perous seasons In history, in Philadel
phia, lloston, Chicago and other titles
wheie the war had brought much work
nt high prices this was also true. Hut
In the smaller i-'tlcs and towns which
were not touched by this good 'fortune
things did not go so well.
N
OW that wc have been In the war
for well over a year, the theatrical
prosperity has become moro general, Inf.
strange to say New York ha bad thus
far one of the worst seasons In many
years. There have been mole failures'
tbeie than ever before recorded, There
or several itosslhle explanations tor
the condition. One Is the number of
theatres, nnd this brings In Its train
hastily made nnd Ill-considered produc
tions. Plays, which, bad there been no
theatres to llll, would have "never reach,
cd production are announced, opened and
closed In such rapid succession that If
Is illillcult to follow them. But the
plays thaturceeil are enjoying unusual
patronage, and It would have been these
same plays which survived If the others '
had never been produced, for the suc
cesses arc, fundamentally light Thev
succeed beentmo they give the publlo
Hom.tliltig thai that public wauls.
T HI. III. bn been much talk of the
"commercial theatre." As ,a matter
or actual fact the theatre which does
the best wotk is the selrsamc commercial
theater. Tho boxollico Is an Infallible
barometer of Iho woith of a play. To
be sure, theio may be t-ome plays with an
appeal to a special clientele which are
worthy and do not succeed commer
cially, and yd are artistic successes. But
those plays never touch the teal heart
ot the people.
IT IS with the theatre as vvitli books.
You cannot make a popular book out
of n dry nnd dusty treatise on some
abstract subject. Nor, as a rule, is there
an effott 'to do m. When such works
are published they are for tho select
few and thotv select few (ind them.
Why should the theater and Its work
be any different? Yet In splto ot this
there Is ii well-defined movement, goner
ally headed by folk not 111 touch with
the great public at all, to force upon
tho producer the nrodiictlon nf ni.-iva
which have no wide appeal That the
movement has never accomplished Its
purpose bespeaks Iho sound Judgment
and human Impulse of the often reviled
commercial manager.
PtllLADI.LI'lIIA has enjoyed consld
cruh!e variety since the beginning of,
the present theatrical season, it has
seen n gorgeous spectacular fairy tale
In "Chu Chin Chow." a merry musical
play in "Leave 11 to Jane," an exquisltri
eMimpIrt of playwiitlng and playing of
an older day In "A Marriage of Con
venience." u comedy of racial typo In
"Business Before Pleasure." a inelo
drama with exceptional acting vvitli Guy
Bates Post In "Tho Masquorader," and a
remat kable exposition of theatric mech
anism In "Tiger Hose." Wo shall have
to live on Iho memory of these things,
and Iho future prospects while we nre
doing a penance of abstinence and fast
ing for theatrical .fare.
