The Theatrical game has been formed of a selection of adventurers, men of courage and practical sense. In this city more than any where else, one sees the mighty movement, that is known as the struggle to satisfy a public that is inconsistent as to their desire. The question of attraction and admission price has been, is now, and long will be the port of every theatre promoter's struggle, where he becomes skilled in attack and defence of the "Burning question that never ceases" attraction and prices..From experience comes to us that science so gigantic and so practical. Let the public run the Theatre as they wish it run. If they only crowd out to see big star attractions, then the public pay star attraction prices so the promoter can have the theatre open just the same until the next star attraction comes. You dear shall manage the theatre, as you express your desire at the box office I your humble servant will obey. Speaking plain no doubt, frank to the point of daring, a bit cynical, perhaps, but how penetrating and how true. Another saying filled with truth and the spirit of the practical is: Sentiment sometimes leads to ruin. It always leads to mediocrity!" So why not be frank. G. H. Tucker, Mgr.
