K . 1 Old-tim- e J at the New York Casino, duced pre- sented George C. Tyler, manager of the famous operetta, with a memorandum the other day which is a vivid reminder of the tremendous increase in the cost of theatrical production, The memorandum ' consisted of a . copy of a weekly statement showing the receipts and expenditures of a typical week at the Casino more than the thirty years ago. It also showed ' original cost of producing the piece. Ermnie, when first shown, was considered the most lavishly mounted production of its kind ever seen in' New York, and yet the total outlay was Just a shade over $20,000. The present proGed-de- s duction designed by Norman-Be- l of the Metropolitan Opera company, cost exactly $93,000. In the old days it was figured that the piece would have to do a gross business of $4,800 a week to pay expenses that is, to let both the theatre and the production out without a deficit. The present weekly cost of operating Erminie is so heavy that a total gross business of not iess than $18,000 is required to make both ends meet. Theatrical salaries, for one thing, have advanced tremendously since the olden, golden days, and it must be remembered that both Francis Wilson and DeWolf Hopper, not to mention a host of other celebrities, are included in the present membership of the Er- .
