Wright, at pres- ent manager or the Plymouth Theatre, Bos- ton, end recently appointed In that capacity for the new Cont Theatre, In that city. Mr. Wright, or better BtlU, "Pred, as he la frequently addressed, has had a remarkable career. While his connections with the show tmBlDfflo Antes back many years, due to his early advent, his aotmtles to-day would surpass tho vigorous and ambitious youth, his bustling spirit being one of his many admirable cEusr&iCterlstU-B. Lake the prorerblal saying, Mr. Wright was "born for the show game" His keen analyt- ical manner of slclnz up the difficulties that as a rule present themselves, Is marvelous. The (est proof of this Is in the big success achleTed £y the Hymouth Thdatre. durlDg its brief career under his management. Even in tho face of his Intimate knowl- edge of the game he's never ofllctous, nor docs no ehy at a suggestion. Moreover, he Is humea, big-hearted, and above all, absolutely on tho square. Perhaps there are but few of the younger generation of the present day playgoers who are cognizant of the fact that one of the big- pest achievements In his early career was hla -management of Havarty'e Famous Min- strels, lib was at that time the youngest manager of the largest show in Che world. He Journeyed the troupe to England where It was booked for an engagement at the Dtrury Lane Theatre, in London. He later turned his attention to outdoor events, and promoted the first walking contest given under canvas In America. The eveat took >tace la Boston, and proved a big success. .{Is connection In this department enabled Man to discover Frank Hart, the colored pedestrian, wnose walking records for yeaTs astounded the universe. He then became associated with Don O'Leary. on the latter'i return to this country after capturing the Asliley belt In London. His next step was In tho promotion of out- door spectacles In Cincinnati. He remained there for nearly four years, and was wholly responsible for the construction of the mam- moth Carnival Park In that city. A business Journey to New York offered him the opportunity to associate himself with "Charley" Hoyt, at that tlmo the coun- tiy'e foremost playwright He was assigned to the completo niimageracmt of ail of Hoyt's attractions. He handled every now show, from "Tho Mldtflght Bell" to the Inst play that Hoyt wrote. In all he was connected with tho drnmarlst for more than ten years. Tfois was followed by the production of Severn! ploys. One of these, "York State Folks," proved one of the best rural ploys ever written, At this tune misfortune dealt a heavy Mow to the manager, when Arthur Bldman, the anchor and star of trm piece, died suddenly a few weeks after the play had received the unanimous praise of press nnd public. To add to bis already calamity, a few months Inter Belle Archer, a star In another of his plays, also passed away. His next big venture was the staging of the colossal spectacle, "The Fall of Bn by- ton." The piece was staged In conjunction with the Barnum & Bailey Circus. At litis time the Shubvrts, who were waging a bitter war against the "syndicate," ana enxlotm to annex a real "live one," placed him in charge of numerous road at- tractions. From here he went to tho Lleb- lers, and has been with them ever since. He was in chatre of William Hodge, in "The Man From Home." for six years. It was during Its long record run In Koston when Mr. Wright foresaw the possibilities of an- other first class ptayhoiisa for that city. He had scarcely token the matter under serious eonaMerntlon when plans were already drawn for the construction of the Plymouth Thea- tre. When the theatre was finally completed many skeptics declared that it could not the beMof being based upon the outof _ way locution of tlia playhouse. But Wright, ot pay, -of-lhe- whj 1b also known for his broad views, main tnlncd that with the proper management and proper plays, any theatre might be made to pay. These claims were amply substan- tiated by the liberal profits that the the- atre litis Blnce made. Colnddont with his career and connections ■with Boston, where he is familiarly known, Mr. Wright has managed the three plays that have established record runs In the city's thaatirlavl history, namely, "A Tem- perance Town," twenty-Hour weeks; "The Man From Home," twentv-scven weeks, and ".Disraeli," nineteen weeks. The latter piece achieved Its long run at the Plymouth, while the ©then pieces were, put on ait the Park Theatre.
