A MUNICIPAL THEATER. City of Red Wing, Minn., Managing a Playhouse Bequeathed by a Citizen, The first practical step toward the establishment of an endowed theater in this country has been taken by the little town of Red Wing, Minn., boast ing not more than 8^000 souls in popu lation and yet having the distinction of being the only municipality in the country which owns, controls and man ages a theater for the improvement and amusement of Its citizens, writes L. F. Pierce in The World Today. The theater, which cost $80,000, was the gift of the late Theodore B. Shel don, a citizen of Red Wing, who had accumulated wealth by wise invest ments in real estate. -He was a mod est but public spirited man, one whos^ heart was wrapped up in the progress of his community, though he never sought for or accepted civic honors. On his death it was found that he had made a gift of a theater to his city. In the bequest it was stipulated that the new playhouse should not be used for gain, either private or public, but should be so managed as to become an educational factor in the community for the better development of the ar tistic feeling both in those who may tread its boards and in those te whom it is a gift. There are no free admissions, and the citizens of Red .Wing are expected to support the Institution by paying the moderate charge of $1 a seat. “No cheap plays, but moderate prices,” ki the motto ot this municipal theater, which as the first experiment of its kind is* being watched with keen in terest by critics, jmanagers and patrons of the drama.. It i» the first practical »tep toward the divorce of the Amer ican stage from commercialism. A CHANGE AT BREVARD INSTITUTE. In “The Land of the Sky.** liear the 8«pphireC
