THE TRIALS OF THE MANAGER. The trials and annoyances of the theat- rical manager are many and. various. Ho does not enjoy the slnecuro which most peo- ple believe. In selecting a play ho Is first up against the playwright, who comes loaded with all aorta of Impossible conditions, all of which must be talked over, and the dim- cultAiH In the way of an agreement must bo removed without friction. This is delicate and difficult with well known and popular playwright!, but with one who has success- fully launched one play, and now wants to place a second play, It Is almost impossible. His one success has, In his own estimation, raised him to tho highest pinnacle, and hi* exactions on tho manager arc greater than the most famous playwrights would ask. Nevertheless, tho manager, being a trained business man, nurses him along, gradually eliminating the oxtravngant Ideas from bia mind, until ho becomes reasonable and then there la a possibility of coming to terms. When the ploy Is secured, the next move la to secure tho actor or actress for the leading part. If tho leading part Is played by a man, there Is usually no end of trouble In select- ing tho principal lady, as the leading man must bo consulted, and ho will rarely accept the selection made by nnyonc but himself. Various artifices have been resorted to In the past to lnduco the leading man to select the principal lady that would bo acceptable) to tho manager. Then, when tho play is re- hearsed, the manager Is harassed by aue> gestlons from his leading: players, "to cut out this" or "insert that," all of which has to be smoothed over as best he can. It would be Impossible, and It Is not intended, In this article to mention In detail all the troubles of a manager in the selection and staging of a play. Sufficient has been said to show that he has no easy time of It. But this la not the only trouble he has to contend with. He must keep In the good graces of newspaper representatives, and at all tlmea greet them smilingly and listen to their advice and sug- gestions. Then ha must Interview an army of players out of work, looking for Jobs. If he his one vacancy to fill, there aro a hun- dred applicants for it, and there will be ninety-nine of them disappointed and dis- gruntled, who will not have a good word for the manager. In addition to this, ho is besieged by committees and representatives of various organisations soliciting contribu- tions for overy imaginable undertaking. As It Is impossible for a manager to see all tho people who wont to Interview him, the mall Is resorted to, and every day he must wade through a deluge of letters on various sub- jects, and has to answer a great many of them. In a word, he is a hard worked man;— the performer, at the end of tho show. Il at leisure until the next performance*— not so tho manager, he works all the time, and seldom, from morning until midnight, has a moment he can call his own. He must •tall times bo affable, diplomatic and far- seeing ; must be a good Judge of human na- ture, and must be Imbued with a largo meas- ure of business Instinct to be a successful naoaftr. TRENTON'S BROAD STREET THEATRE LEASED. After being entirely renovated and re- decorated, the Broad Street Theatre, Trenton. N. J., peases into the hands of three well known New York theatrical men Monday, April 8, for a long term of years. E. L. Perry, formerly of the Bhubert The- atrical Co.: Wm. H. Currlc, of Broadhurst A Currle, and Frank Brasscll, till lately a Wall Btreet broker, are the lessees. The policy of the theatre will be first class photoplays snd five acts of vaudeville, chang- ing every Monday and Thursday. As tho seating capacity Is 1,600. ten, fifteen and twenty-five cent prices will be charged. A Indies' concert orchestra of ten pieces will be one of the features, as well as a costly pipe organ for to accompany certain photoplays and Illustrated songs. Tho company will bo known as the Broad Btreet Theatre Co., and a chain of houses throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania Is planned for the near future. Ladles' writing rooms,- female ushers, an art gallery and children's playrooms are a few of the innovations which the Trenton theatregoers will be offered, and the manage- ment will be most liberal In its novel Ideas. 1 The theatre Is one of Trenton's newest playhouses, having been built only a few months ago, and Is said to be the largest and most up-to-date in modem appliances In that city. •* i» LYRIC THEATRE HAS RIO OPENING. The Lyric Theatre, Oklahoma City, Okla., reopened Sunday, March 17, St Patrick's Day matinee, to one of the largest crowds that has ever been seen there. The manage- ment is a complete change of all former lessees. The Imperial Amusement Co. aro the new lessees; 17. S. Stone Is the manager, and Qene Topping Is the business manager. The policy of the management is to give the biggest show In the city for ten cents. They are booking five acta of Hodklna' time each week. This theatre seats 1,400, and the name will be changed to the Hippodrome. The opening bill made a great hit and with similar attractions of vaudeville to follow each week, this house should have the success it deserves. »»» ALP. T. WILTON ACTS.

This department Is under toe personal direction and supervision of William A. Ruff. It is tho policy of tho Messrs. Ruff to take hold of acts and put them In proper shape for the better class of vaudeville, with proper staging, pruning, re- vamping, etc., which is so necessary, and which so many really good acts lack, With the experience of a successful vaudeville writer and an experienced stage director, the unsuccessful artist should find their "turning point" here. dt» ANOTHER ROAD SHOW.
