The Dayton Herald from Dayton, Ohio • 10

SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1913. M-5. TEN THE DAYTON HERALD, Those of u8 who enjoy sitting through the overture, listening to the stage songbirds, the tragedian, the joke juggler and all others who gambol about the stage, who walked down street about March 28 probably declared that the local theatrical season was at an end. We could not see, after a glance within the floodwrecked showshops, how box offices could be opened within months. However, the playhouse managers looked through eyes other than ours.

They knew that those who had seen the horror of rushing waters would want some sort of a relief. Consequently, the ruined seats and other trappins and tons of mud were hurried from the playhouses, 80 that business could be resumed. The frescoers got busy, 1 new seats were brought to town and theaters took on their former appearance. Yet it 1s not all done. The Colonial was fortunate enough to be the first ready.

Manager Donovan called patronage back last Sunday with his innovation of tabloid musicals and played to good houses all week. The offering was refreshing after five weeks' work and worry and the patrons' verdict was good for the dime and twenty-cent shows offered. Renovation continues at the Victoria. National and Lyric. The latter will open about the 20th of this month, while the remaining houses have not decided on their future.

The season of the National and Victoria was rapidly nearing its end when the flood came down, so they were little effected so far as dates were concerned. For a long time there has been much talk of a new Victoria. Now that that house will need much repair, this agitation may take material form, although no such Announcement has come from headquarters. The flood set back the season for the Manhattan Stock company. This organization, headed by Mr.

John Sainpolis, was to begin Its season at the Victoria in April. The opening has been deferred to May 25, when the company opens at Fairview park, where it enjoyed such a successful season, both for company and patrons, last summer. The company is now being organized, in New York and will Sainpolis, Frederick Burton, Jack Amory, Miss Jessie Brink, who were here last year, and other high class players. Mr. Sainpolis will be in Dayton May 12.

Elmer Redelle will again care for the business matters of the company. Lakeside park is now open for the summer. Dancers and roller -skaters crowd the place on Saturdays and Sundays, while many people go out in order to take a look at the spring beauty of the Military Home. Fairview park will be placed in such condition as to invite those who enjoy cool and quiet hours. Parks out along tractions, K11 Kare, near Xenia, and Overlook, north of Dayton, are being made ready for the summer picknickers.

She is said to give a performance of rare ability, having a fresh and engaging spontaneity that charms every audience. Arthur Clamage will figure very importantly in the working out of the plot and make fun in a way that crowns him king of comedians. This latest New York craze of tablold musical shows has taken Dayton in hand and with this and many other productions to follow will give Day: ton a chance to be recognized as an up-to-date show city. These productions are coming direct from New York and Chicago and returning after playing Detroit and Pittsburgh.

"The British government not only has failed to deter militancy by this great act of repression," Miss Robins said, "but actually has advanced it appreciably. "Militancy's aim is essentially conand not destruction, but a struction, amount of destruction has been necessary to the people take notice. It is tremendously difficult in a busy world to get people to stop long enough to consider our needs, hence necessary to startle and shock them a bit.

This has been the reason for all of our acts of so-called violence. "The chief function of the militants today is to achieve publicity, which is Comes to Prepare For Summer Stock Season MR.

It has called the attention of the whole country, perhaps the world, to our struggle, and if once we can make the public think, we will get the vote. "The government has now harnessed its machinery to the suffrage cause, making itself a valuable though unconscious agent in the work of acquainting the powerful with the evil plight of the powerless. arresting seven women, Scotland Yard has arrested the attention of tens of thousands of people who hitherto have been unmindful, and the expenses of our propaganda, which were formerly, borne by the suffragettes friends alone, are now shared by the general public with the unwitting help of the anti- suffragette tax payers.

The government does not know the great system we have, and the effectiveness to which it is developed. It has no idea the vast ramifications and the widespread character of the union.
