Thus far, in this city, the idea has
boon extraordinarily successful, and
the theatre managers, on the whole,
have welcomed it no less eiiiiiusias-
tieally than the people who heretofore.; l"'ll,"r th,lr relations with one an
for want of capital to invest in a first-otner-
class show, have been obliged to stay
at home or else to indulge in the du
bious delights of "Queen of China
town," "King of thA Moonshiners,"
and other East Side apologies for a
play
Actually the movement has re
vealed a popular passion for Shakes
peare, The proof of this lies in the
fact that the most successful period
so far was the week, not long ago, du-
ring which Robert Mantell appeared in-
Shakesperian roles at one of the local, recognition oi me mteraepenuence oi

Such a condition no longer exists. As! what the Sector hopes to have one
a matter of fact, the managing direc- 1 da' is a bi8 fine room for the Insti

Sprague Smith, is of the opinion that!a!iJ an auditorium with a seating ca

too many seats. More surprising ;
things than a popular passion for the
classic drama have developed. Only!

It was, furthermore, through eo-oper
ation with the People's Institute that
symphony concerts at 25 cents a sea

one-sixth cents a concert have been
offered to people who, except when at
church, had, perhaps never heard any-
thing but a barrel organ or a German ! ;"" he !ils0 Bave th tTP,;

Last year this popular theatre move-i

hom had never been inside a Broad-'
way playhouse before, to see Maud ;
Adams in "Peter Pan," and at present!
it is drawing hundreds of East Siders''
nightly to one of the new American!
dramas. In two weeks, recently, tj
caused the sale of 3,500 seats at the
theatre where for two weeks George ;
Bernard Shaw's satirical "Caesar and I
Cleopatra" was being performed; it I
sent 5,000 people in seven weeks to see

"Prince of India," 3,000 more in two!
weeks to see a revival of Shakespeares

a presentation of "Midsummer Night's

afforded some 600 high school pupils
an opportunity to attend matinee per
formances of Browning's "Pippa Pass

stances, has actually been responsible
for the success of a play.

The Institute represents not revo

Its non-sectarian religious meetings

are remarkable for the fact that they
attract crowds of people who have
practically abandoned the established
churches: and ninety-five per cent of
these large coTigrogiUions are men.
The Institute has sueee.y-fully under
taken many projects for civic Im-
provement, and it has wielded a pow
erful influence not only locally but at
Albany in regard to legislation affect

has promoted civic and social right
