Nov. 23. ? The gay metropolis In preparing to greet the Army ami Navy next Saturday with great loud cheer* ? and a bludgeon Ordinarily New York does not profiteer, but It seems nowaday* that everything la pick ing on some part of the Army and the Navy so New York has decid ed to take all It can out of the big .service football game which la played at the Polo (Grounds on the 28th.

The night of the Army and Navy game la probably the gayest that New York knowa ? outside of New Year'a Eve and In many respect* the featlval* of football night are very much In keeping with the traditional celebrations of the ad vent of the year. Of course In | football only one team can win and It would seem that only one aide to the annual argument could celebrate. Rut this la not the icaae. The losers aeem to hare just as good a time ? or better ? ithan the winners. After one of the recent "big three gamea" i played not far from New York two old "grads" dlacuased which club I they would go to that evening In ?the metropolis. One suggested the club of the winning varalty. "Not at all" said the other "there will be more doing with I the losers. Many of tne New York theatara , tried two years ago the applying of extra pressure at the box of fice for Army and Navy night ? and got away with It. So thin .year they are going to do the name thing. Prices for that night have In moat instances been ralaed to 910 a seat with an extra 91 for "war" tax. it seems Incongruoua to tax the Middies and Cadeta for "war" but Uncle Sam makea no distinction In his collection along thai line. Theater prices always are advanced a dollar or ao for the Saturday evening performan ces. Saturday night Is distinctly New York's night at the theatera and lh?> producers and managers put on all that the traffic will The great crowds that com* to New York for the Army and Na vy game are spending crowds. A few dollars one way or another make little difference to them. The theatrical folk were a trifle slow In solving this psychology. Hut now that they have done ao. the visitors are jjolng to be made to pay through the noae. One big theatrical combine, however, has revolted. It his advertised It will not take advantage of the occasion lo raise Its box office scale , Cabarets are preparing for their big biennial haul and special menu cards are being made up that would stagger the ordinary nlghtllfer of the great white way.
