THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: TUESDAY, APRIL 29,1884.- TWELVE PAOtWL METROPOLITAN MEN WO FURNISH AND DIREC amusements. New York a Market of Bcikin-T'-e s.zzr.lfoES of Uuon Square???Zutc.tta Dely'e Woik- ZMepaian a ter the Buprrmecr-A He- mazkable Kaaaacr-rereoaeiNotee, [The reriesof eketekee and llln.'rttloni continued New Yobk, April 24.-I recently heard an old and experienced manager connected with Aupuatln Daly'! theater eitimate that moA money had been apent for amusement! in thli city during the put aeatofi than in any year for many leaioni put; anditlll the season hu been exceptionally dlautroui to moat manager!. It is gratifying tc know that the lltteit survive and prosper. The amount of money spentdnring this putieaaon wu thought to bo at least (4.500.000 at the theaters and probably a million and a half more in opera; anp it wu asserted incidentally that there wu moro money invested now In theaters in this city than there wu in all the country thirty years. The lab ter statement Is probably true. The assessed value ol the thirty places devoted to amusements of all kinds In New York li said to be IS.073,00*. The theatrical butioets hu been to changed in the lut lew years that It may almost be said to have concentrated here, and New York hu become the theatrical market. Boston and Philadelphia each originate to tome extent, bat it lsloNew York that managers come for' their cbloi attractions, not only in plays but in players. Here stars engage their support and book their engage ments. In tho vicinity of Union Equate are the theatrical agencies; actors out of employment congregate in the neighborhood, and they havo como to designate the fqnare as tho ???Slave Mar. ket," themselves being, In theatrical pulanco, the slaves. Here managers from othercltles make en> gsgements and book attractions and the ???Slave Market" Is regularly visited by them in the summer. It is In this dly chiefly that the local managers produconew plays or try foreign auccescas with th. view of letung them out to other cities or to rending out traveling com. panics to produce them. The business of prepar ing attractions for the road hu g own to bo so Important and distinct a part of the management that tome thoau rt are run at a loss solely to establish the claim of a play to provincial con. slderatlon. Many out of town managers depend solely on the New York attractions supplied them. large prices are paid and'heavy percentages exacted. As much u ten thousand dollars hu been paid for untried plays such as ???Storm Beaten.??? Ono detriment to the dramatlo art growing out of this change in the system of management hu been tho development of a Class of managers who have no other than a financial Interest in the busi ness. They havo no sentiment about tho advance ment of art or culture of the stage; they are merely ''hucksters??? in the business, and are not particular u to what they offer or the manner of presenting It. They selso upon foreign eucoesies of tho English or French schools and lit tho former to suit American tutes, and cutlng out tho grosser Indecencies which are permlisable in tho French, they foist them on the American public at one or moro of the New York theaters under their control, and after forcing a run let them ont to other managers to send out inferior companies to play them.' A great deal of money is sometimes risked in these vontnrea, but it is not by the ???hnck s'.er" class of managers that are loudest In claim ing heavy expentea It Is this class of managers whohave suffered most during the put year. Thoso who have prospered have happily been the few who we may count on the fingers of one hand, and on whom it la likely the theaters anust depend for some years to come or u long as the present system luts for really dramatic and operatlo productions. arotrsTiH DAbY'a woxx. A single fnriCoi.t hu lately compelled general acknowledgement that Augustin Daly.hu done more than any other ananeger in recent years to elevatethedramaaud tocounteract the degrading influences which the changed system hu virtually brought upon the stage. This Incident wu the selection of his company, u a representative Amer ican stock company, to pay the return visit to Eng- land of Irvlug'a company from this country. Mem beta of Irving's organization, donbtliu the nearest perfection of all modern English companies were the ones who suggested to Daly this trip and one of them, Mr. William Tenlu, assumed the principal risk of the venture. This Incident called generaU attention towbat a few critical persons had long recognised, that Mr. Daly had organised the best stock comedy company which New York hu probably ever seen. There were a few literary critics who talked learnedly of memories of old tlmo companies, but these were recognised as croakers. A few others maintained the prestige of Wallack'a oompsny forgetting that Mr. Wallack???s eonnany had become Anglicised. Still others gave the greatest credit to the Madison Square theater, forgetting that establishment wu nothing more u yet than a school for amateurs, though unquestionably a very good school, but the training is Immature, the tendency by the management Is to prettiness, not strength, and It is immaterial whether or not the body Is more than veneering deep. Mr. Wallack hu long been 111 these bare not Improved on bis style they bare produced him more monry than his own more re fined entertalnmen's. He remrued and appeared yesterday sill somewhat bunt with rbenmstUm and a deal grayer than wlycn he wentaarsy. Hq at onoe returned to the style of entertainment which had brought great tame and heavy mortgages to hit hou<e. His son Arthur and Mr. Theodore Mors are probably responsible for the late departure lu management, and alto for the weak company which for the season hu held nucertaln possession of Wallack'a. - Angusia Dally wu or.co before at the head of management lu this city; he is there again; more matured, more earnest, more skilled than he was and quite aa ambitious as ever to give the best. Tho neceatl'y to give also that wh tch will pay curb. bis spirit not a little and he sometimes surrenders to the desire to give the public his lute rather than its own. These are the occasional mistakes he mskea Ho hudonesothls season ln???8ergo Fantne??? and ???Boys and Glrle:" but be quickly acknowl edged hi. error and gave his audleuco what they did want rather than attempt to dictate then at his own expense to take what they ought to have. He baa, notwithstanding tbla recognition of the commercial necessity of the manager, given entertainments moro varied and fat more entertaining than; any other man. ager in the city; he has a reward in a uniform sucoeu, the smallest receipts of any weekdurlng;tbe season.tne run of.???Bovsand Girls,??? a.pure ldealic comedy, (3M Delng more than the expenses. Daly Is an old newspaper critic. Before becoming a manager he ured to write .crit icisms for three dally papers dur lng the week and four on Suuday. Hehuhad the good sense, however, never to mauage mote than one theater at a time. He is an untiring worker, he is seldom before his own curtain In tbc front of the house, he Is of a nervous temperament but not irascible or easily vexed; his nerrouanets leads rather to rapid work and qnlck decisions. He rehearses laboriously; the latter disposition Is the chlei objection which his company urge against him, but the members recognise that to this quali ty is due the perfection of acting which is reached by the whole combination. DUrDTiHO THE rsui. For a long tlmo Messrs. Shook and Palmer at the Union Square theater, disputed with Daly and Wallack and the Madison Square management the cl ilm to the best stock companies, to the careful and elaborate productions of new pieces. At one period it seemed that Wallack had tho prior right to the leading London successes; that Dslydrew en tho German dramatists for materials; that the Madison Square was the home of tho native dram atlsts; whllo Shook and Palmer took what little that wasgood for American use by tho French dram atlsts. Palmer retired a year ago and the now managers who succeeded Messrs Shook and Collier, himself and Is very crmpanlonable with his loti- matesand very domeaio in his tastes. A BEltAEKADUt MANAGER Probably the most remarkable success which bar bceu attained lu New Y'ork management has been by that most remarkable men, if not manager, Colonel John A. McCaull, ALIt THROUGH DIXIE. nil ftawn OF TDM WEEK IX THE KOUTIIF.KN STATE*. who has attained a prominence as about the only really sue-cssful manager of Ccmlc Erg Hah opera we havo over had. His position Is now undliputed. He deserves it for both bis pluck and daring. Ho has by dint of sheer perseverance, good taste and judgment, the exercise oisome nerve end a good deal of audacity, como Into control ol " Casino,.the most beautiful theater In tho world, and ol the largest and best English opera company In existence, and haa tho pick and choice ol finest foreign musical productions. He has rival left. In fact. Every opera ho has touched and of which ho had opportunity to Jndgo before production. has made a great ce>??: and ha has given New York what It was not previously juscuatomcd to???young .faees au ' voices lu Iho chorus. McCaull pereonally 1s a bluff, but not gruff, fellow, be doesn't beat about tho bush in huslnes matters, and being positive in all things ho acts quickly on bis own Judgment, It is htrdly correct to speak ol William McConnell, of Havcrley???s Brooklyn theater, aa metropolitan manager, butu we ate accustomed hereto Include the suburbs In tho metropolis It may be permitted. Betides Mr. McConnell has have somewhat changed tho policy ol tho Union Equare, They found a bonanza in tho ???Lights ol London" which Shook and Palmer had produced, and put lour companies on Iho road, making thereby, a great, deal ol money. Tbey havo lol lowed this policy with other subsequent produc tions. This change In policy, however, docs not change the stylo of prcrcnuttlonof this house which hu always been noted for lu care and detail. But both Shook and ColUor are experienced managers and though nobody prelenda that, like Daly and Wallack, Urey havo a rentlmcntal regard for the stage, nobody on the other hand regards them ss mere dealers In the dramatis art. Shook hu always been an cmbtululle politician but he does not allow politics to Interfere with business. Mr. Collier, barring his partlslily for tho lair ssx, which Is pardonable Into handsome a follow. 1s devoted to butluew wheuever bo is not to the ladles. The two men are a contrast In ohar- actor as In appearance. Shook la bluff and out spoken and Collier Is all suavity, but a little In clined to be suspicious and reserved: Bhook lota everybody know wbat he tblnki, particularly II It Is not complimentary; Collier on tbc other hand keeps his adverse opinions to himself, but by bis manner leads one to believe ho thinks worre of him than ho really means. They made large sumi of mom y this year with traveling companies; hut little, U any, In the home theater, HENBV ABBEY'S VKNTUKES. Tho magnitude of the theatrical ventures of Henry Abbey, (be greatest theatrical speculator the world !Rs probably ever seen. Justifies their not Florida waters and wlntenhave not restored his yonth; and lo his Inactivity and ab sence a new management at bis theater hu somewhat changed * his methods and the character of his productions. If o o bom doing for Brooklyn for a brlof period wbat the managers I bare named have been performing for Now York. Ho bu elevated (he standard dramatlo representation there, u It never was raised before aod h??s compelled other managers follow???though still a long way behind. Brooklyn used to bo one ol tho most unsatisfactory places the country for a theatric*! trpupe to visit; It hts becoms one of tho best; tho reason Is that tinder Mr. McConnell???a sensible management the perfor mances havo been so Improved that tho Brooklyn people, who formerly vlrlted New York In search of first class amusemenU are now content with those he gives them, and await his prcs.-utatlnn the best novel ties. McConnell Is ambltlous.and probably an early day will seo him and his brother, C. H, McConnell, Uaverly's Chicago, produce new plays In Now York and Chicago, simultaneously and pulling their own combinations on the road to play them It la a development cot unnatural to expect, at an culy date, fer If they do not do so somo other manager will try tho experiment. McConnell bad an opportunity lo display an Important qualifica tion ol a manager at his theater on Saturday night lut; when the . andlence wu threat ened with a panic, from a cr. of ???fire??? from a drunken man. McConnell not onty Dersonally kicked tlin man outof Ihelebby.but then rushed np tho main upon the et??ge and In a brio! address audlenco that there was no occasion for l , , such an Incident to throw them even Into a momon tary confusion. rgXSONAL. PABAQSIAPH. Among tho persons who were proaont Abbey???s benefit. In a private box, was Adelina Patti, prime donna of Hapleson'a troupe, eccom being denominated speculations at all. He la a man untrained In the theatrical proftsclon, yet everything ho hu done In it hts teen on the broadest scale. Ho simultaolously organized the Bernhardt, Langtry and Kellson tours ot this country In 1812-63. and made large sums lor each of these artists and himself. He suggested and carried to sncceea tho two doubtful schemes by which Irving ;and company were performing In America while Mary Anderson played In London.

Mr. Abbey bu nervea of Iron and his count*- ence never betrays hts feelings and thoughta; be seems to have no con ception of money and lu value; to la St no thought of failure when he makes a risk. Ha bar the happy and unusual (acuity of attend ing only to the general features of hts business, leaving details lor other* to accomplish, and he succeeds in securing the performance ol the Utter without contusion, noise or friction; he hu Uttle sens, of humor; he Is not given to lightly amusing panted by (he venerable NlcoUnl, her alleged hut- band.
