Show MOItC STEW FLAYS CALLED FOR. Salt Lake Cur, Sep. 30, I87l Editors Salt Lake Herald; Permit mo through your valuable paper lo espressa few thoughts regarding regard-ing our theatre. 1 think last week if never before ought to demonstrate to both management and actor that old musty, fusty, worn-out plays and farces, will not draw : There may bo a few exceptions, but they are fbw and tr between. Fault is frequently found with the public for not patronizing the theatre better. But it is only once io a long while that there is anything to patronize. If a farce for instance is merely to fill up timo, without adding to tho enjoyment of the audience, old worn-out things will do just as well as anything new. Tho idea of the name nf boidq old favorite actor drawing a huu-e to sue him the fivo hundredth tiuiu in twenty live years, is played out. I ho beat comedian in America and Europe have found out that they must produce something QCW a:ij xood. We havo some n.s good comedians here as there is in the world; why don"t ihcy mako up and find out what is going go-ing on in tho world, and bo up to the time? Strangers como hero, and fill tho house frequently, who cannot hold tho caudle to some of our homo talent, which was to play second fiddle to a man who only plays ono picco in live years. Our stock company havo to oommit to memory long parts in one day to support traveling "Stars. " Why can't they do so and shine themselves? them-selves? Iam only repeating the expressions ex-pressions of a great number of well-wishers well-wishers to the theatre and our Eome talent. Youra, Keepmovino |
