Mayer, the veteran , theatrical manager, "No. sir." he said yesterday. "I can not see that there are any grounds for (-those views, except a trifling reaction, which simply means a settling down to stable and satisfying conditions. But business with legitimate enterprises was never-better and will continue, to' im prove. It is developing as In any other enterprise backed ' by experience and brains and capital. This talk about bad business was the result of an almost feverish state of affairs in the theatrical world for several years, which has. now subsided, and I believe those managers who are thoroughly alive to the situa tion are pleased to have It so. - " It'- is-- not true : that the theatrical business in the 'East has been bad, at least I know we have not found it ao, end -from what-I ;-iearned inmy- trips about the country the people are patron ising the playhouses in a manner that need give no fear for the box-ofllce statement. There Is ' one thing very noticeable, however, and that is the policy of the theatre-goer seems to lean mora to quality than anything else no,w. They want the best, andjf it is in that class their patronage follows as a mat ter of course. There was a time when a big name and a New York reputation were thought absolutely necessary for a successful road tour, but that time has now gone forever.
