What the Veteran Manager Has to Say About the Drama, Dramatic Authors, Critics, Etc.

HIS OPINION OF' ©PEKING THEATERS OK SUNDAY AND THE RESULT OF HIS REFUSAL TO GIVE HIS HOUSE TO

THIS PURPOSE.

From the New York ibune. J. H. McVicker, who has so successfully managed his own theater and made it the leading place of amusement in Chicago for the last twenty years, was at the Gilsey House recently. To the Tribune reporter he gave some interesting opinions and reminscer.ces in regard to the profession of which he has been so long a member. Mr. McVicker is one of the few active members who have grown up in the profession and have attained an equal success in the box office and on the. stage. Though he has grown gray in his work, he is still hale and hearty, but rather despondent over the deterioration of the 6tage. When asked regarding the evils of recent growth in the theatrical profession he said "I do not feel like saying much about it, because I regard the evil tendencies that have lowered the standard of the drama of late years as past redemption, at least in my time. Reform will be of slow growthj and I vc lit tie faith in the newspapers bringing it about, though agitation is no doubt tlis proper way. The newspapers, with lew exceptions, are managed very much as the theaters are —they give space and attention to that which pays best. As a rule they give the same prominence to a variety theater that advertises well that they do the highest class of drama. The public taste is to bkrne, I suppose, but the newspapers largely create that taste. Whatever is the caiue, it is true that what was once an art or profession has come to be merely a trade or business. The legitimate drama has almost ceased to be popular, and variety theaters and spectacular plays have grown up in recent years to enormous propoi tions." "Is not the variety business on the decline?" •'Variety performers are so diverse that it is hard to define them, but no doubt, in a general way, variety is on the decline, and men and women whose only merit consists in dancing a jig or playing trombones are going back to digging potatoes. But this is not the decline the drama has suffered. The poor never economize if they did there would be no poor, in this country at least. They attend the theaters in slightly diminished numbers, owing to the hard times. Everything gees by fashion with the wealthy class, and within the last three years ii has conic to be fashionable to cconemize, and the better class of theaters have hud to suffer in consequence—not so much because of necei»«ity, but o*'ing to fashion." "To what do you attribute the popularity of the French school, and the de cline in goud old plavs with a high moral tone?" "It is an evil that has followed the war and the deterioration of public taste, resulting irom the 'flush times,' which bred extravagance, and recklessness. It is also partly due to a New York firm that has imported these plays, and. mounting them extravagantly, has got the newspauers to write them into public favor. The managers in New York look abroad for tneir pl&vs, and pattern after London and Paris, just as Chicago, Philadelphia, and other American cities imitate New York. What,is successful abroad is brought out here, and what is successful here is brought out elsewhere in the country, so that we are about as much dependent on I'aris for our plays as we are on Worth for our styles in millinery." "Why dj not managers better encourage American dramatic authors?" "There are really no American dramatic authors. A goad play is produced now and then by men following some otlier business or profession but there are no diamatic authors here who make play •writing a business, as in France, and there is to-day very little real dramatic criticism among the American people. I have grown gra\ almost reading original plays, but when I find a good one, if I wish to bring it out, I have to run all the risk. The author immediately wauts so much a night to start with. The play will perhaps cost $2,000 to mount, and besides the author's royalty, other expenses must be incurred by the manager. If unsuccessful—and there is no telling what will be successtul—the loss tails wholly on the manager." *. "Aie the members of the profession as carefully trained as formerly?" "No, because they have not the opportunities formerly given. The 'flush times' after the war made the amusement business, like all other*, exceedingly prosperous, and every little town in the country had its theater or opera house. This created a great demand for actors, and thousands rushed in and flourished as 'stars' who had little or no training. There are as many good actors now as formerly but they are extended over a much wider territory. Managers, with few exceptions, are not men trained in the business, as of old, but men who have entered it for speculative purposes.

Formerly persons desiring to go 011 the stage entered* a regular stocK company where they were earelullv trained by 1 skillful managers, and from a wide exI perience in playing varied parts, they became thorough actors. In this way were developed our really great actors, men like Forrest, Jefferson, Booth, Walii lack, and others, competent to take many parts. Now persons learn to play one part and then they begin as 'stars,' shine for a brief period, and are heard of no more.

There are several COMBINATIONS traveling over the country, each called the 'Union Square Company from New York.' Shook & Palmer have a few performers, perhaps, not employed in the play they may be running at the time. These thev furnish to an outside manager with a play they have taken on. The outside manager furnishes the rest of the company, which he picks up everywhere, and with the play and mountings furnised by the New York managers, who get a large share of the receipts he calls it the 'Union Square Company from New York,' and

travels abroad on that reputation. They come to Chicago for instance, and play at some theatre which they can get cheap. Being under Httle expense-tor mounting, they advertise liberally, and are generously treated by the newspapers. They remain* for a short time, and do a good business. McYicker's is the only theatre in Chicago that keeps a regular 6Uxk company. When I put on a play I have to go to a large expense in mount ing it. You can readily see the disadvantages I labor under in competing with the 'combination' system. In that way nearly all the stock companies in the country have been broken up, and it may be oniy a question of time when the few remaining ones will follow suit. New York sends out fifty or more 'combinations' in season, and with the reckless manner in which many travel it is no wonder they are dragging the business down into the lowest depths. The Union Square company now playing in Chicago gives the same performance Sunday night as on any other night. I hare been standing out against Sunday pertormances. 1 could not get this company to play in my theater because I would not allow Sunday performances. Sunday performances might be partially excused with low actors, who are driven to it as a means of livelihood, but when one of the wealthiest managers drags some ot th* best actors a thousand miles to give Sunday performances for the sake of a few dollars' gain as Mr. Palmer has done, I think it a most degrading perlormance." "Is this Sunday performance a general thing in Chicago?'" "Hooley's and McVickera are the only two theaters there in which regular pertormances do not take place on Sunday. When companies bearing respectable names indulge in this practice, it is perhaps only a question of time when we will have to follow suit or quit the business. I hope to be saved the disgrace, but the outlook is not favorable. 1 he custom began there with Sunday concerts, such as are now given in New York, and the descent to regular theatrical performances is very ea6y, as will probably be 6een here ere long." "Do you consider newspaper criticism unfavorable to your profession?" "I do not consider criticism proper as unfavorable. When the drama ranked as an art, I always considered what is called criticism in the daily newspapers as unfavorable to its progress. There is little real criticism in daily newspapers, and it cannot be expected under the circumstanccs. A critic tees a play the first night it is brought out, and, without any real study of it, he at once that same night writes his opinion of it, which may or .nay not be favorable. The criticism of a weekly newspaper or magazine is given with more care, and is, or ought to be, of more value." "Is the Shakespearean drama a6 popular now as formerly?" "It never was popular. That mav be thought a broad assertion, but I consider it true. It was the actors and the mountings that gave it popular favor. The reason

IF,

doubtless, not because it is unworthy ol such favor, but because the constituency is small to which it appeals The Tribune cannot get the same circulation in New York that is obtained by some other newspapers I might mention. Why? Not because it does not give all the news, and that more fully and comprehensively, but because it aters to a higher class of thought, and consequently its constituency is smaller in the city.." The drama stands in precisely the same position. It takes thought to appreciate Shakespeare, and therefore the theatre that adheres to that class of drama has a smaller constituency and less popular favor. Robson and Crape have enjoyed great success in 'Our Boarding House.' They are about to try Shakespearean comedy, and though the latter is far superior to »he former, I predict their success in it will not be so great, or, if as successful, it will be due entirely to their acting, and not to the popularity of Shakespeare."

CONSUMPTION CURED? An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure tor consumption, bronchitis-, catarrh, asthma and all throat and lung affecions, also a positive and radical cure for nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousand qf cases, has felt it his duty to make it know to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive, »nd a desire to relieve human suffering, I will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this receipt, with full directions for pre paring and using, in German, French, or English. Sent by mail by addressing with stamp, naming this paper. W. W. Sherar, 145 Powers' Block, Rochester, New York.

THE man "who sells bed springs on Ohio street" came up to this office today, to say that the coal he took was loose pieces lying outside the coal shed not one belonging to The GAZBTTK office as supposed by the writer, who was too hastj in his conclusion.

This being the case the GAZBTTK wishes to make amends. The thief who nightly visits our coal shed is yet uncaught, but is so mean .that he will not long escape detection.

A CRAZY TELEPHONE. Fiom the New York World. The telephone occasionally goes crazy. A reporter of the World happened, yesterday, into a shoe store between which ind its wholesale manufactory a telephone has been constructed, was am axed to behold the genial proprietor with face aflame and eyes dilating dancing a hornpipe while to bis ears he held the speak-ing-tube of the instrument. "What the blank, blank, blank does the idiot mean?" he exclaimed to the clerks who amiably clustered around him. One does not always get a chance to see a *hoe manuhcturer dance. Suddenly changing the tube from his ear to his mouth he shouted out: "Do your salt fish, I tell you t© have those 6hoes made to button."

An interval of silence. "No, not mutton button," he shrieked. More silence, during which the shoe dealer kept the instrument to his ear and seemed to the lookers-on to be drawing through it fire and brimstone, so red in the face he grew. Presently in a rage h* dropped the handles and disappeared into the inner office. The reporter thereupon picked up the ear-trumpets and was at once saluted with the startling question: "Have you got those fish I sent up packed in ice?" "Who are you called out tne reporter. "Who the devil are you said the voice. "How about those shoes "A No. 1, 14-3-7 preferred. Take all." said somebody softly, as if murmuring to himselt among the pyramids of Egypt. "How many cases have you sent to the Anchor Line was the thundering response. "Cases of what—small-pox came muttered back dreamily—and then the telephone quivered under a storm of wicked words. ••Where are you?" said the reporter."None of your business," replied the first voice, and there was a bang as if somebody had slammed down the cover of a piano in a hurry, after which, more faintly than before/the same mysterious whispering of mystic numbers went on for a few moments and then ceased. It was all yerv puzzling until an agent of the telephone company called to explain the shoe store wire had fallen athwart wires leading respectively to Fulton fish market and the Stock Exchange.
