For soma time there has been a tendency on th part of th the- , atrlcal manager to drop the "lever d ' rldeau" and at th moment It only fig ures in th prearama of two or three out of th 80-odd theatres. There are sev eral reasons for this change. To begin with, playgoers do not seem to want such long performances, so that the eun- ' tain rises at most theatres at anything between 8:15 and 8:45, instead of 7:30 as formerly,', Also, since the enormous sucoess of the Grand Ouldnoi theatre, similar establishments have multlDlled. and aa all these places of entertainment only stag one-act plays, several of which are given in the course . of an evening, th playwright who ean turn out this article haa found a special mar ket which he seems to prefer. .
