The writer helpful sug-
Kestious to smooth away the diffi
which perplex the amateur mana
ger who has beet fortunate or un
fortuuate enough to discover dra
matic talent acquaintan
ces The question of tiTne fs taken
up first, "four weeks, at an aver
age of three weekly rehearsals be
ing just loug enough. There are
ilangers iu stretching out the time
1 1'jo long, the danger of wearying
of the play itself and the still more
insiduous nauger, that of wearyiug
of one's fellow actors " The choice
of the pljy should he determined
by the amount of stage action, foi
although it is more work to rfc-
Uearse, the play 's success depends
on it. How the novice completes
his own "make tip," where to pur
chase costumes at the least possi
ble expense., stage carpentering,
and the collecting of stage proffcr
ties are all commented upon Above
all, the uecesssity of a stage uiana
ger in the jiersou of a competent
mail or woman who will assume
all restHJUbibility and who is able
to conduct the alT.iir iu a systemat
ic, business like way, is emphasized
Other su'ijects touched upon in
this cuinpieliem-iv-e article are the
Value ot theatrical perlormauces
