SUNDAY REST FOR ACTORS.
Iti his plea for rest for actors ot the
Shbi1atli.  published  in  TIE    SHOW
'fOtr,) August 3, Bishop Samiuel Fil-
ltws of Chicago Proved himself to be a
sincere friend to the largo aruty of pro-
fossional people, toany of whot doubtless
harbor tte thope that tOtto Sundatitty-closing
law wtlih -t ishop Ftllows so earnestly
nvoeatos may not oily be enacted by
oery stato inl itht' I'nIion, but he univr-
iT  in  ito  t01 i.  
,-I' ing  1t  ist  at  tt it  -ne,  tr   it  hai  he
uli, place of amuSeenItIt ill te t'tiited:
Soates were closed Sundays.  ntold athu 1-
Santdts wito now  spend t OtI IeI  S a1)1)totItI
evenings at the theater, park, music litl
or other places of amousement would be
I-eprived of perhaps their best sourc of
enjytn , while tle   owneis  of tt
mtiusenent resorts affected would suffei
no insignificant financial loss. But, ilI
tt other hand, tte professional ptopl',
whio at-c forced to toil datily for their
blrad   ouIlr have the rest to which they
i-e entitled by the law of God and oature
oin one day of act week, the sane as
toilers in other fields of human endeavr I
to close every plter of anouseiet itt
lit- countr'y by tto operation of a utivt-
sal law wtould be in the nature of a rev-
olution not easil' accomplished.   It is
not so ntich because the managers of
ptlaes of Public amtnuseient desire to
k-ip them open Sundays for monetary
gain, that the Sabbath is Violated. but,
as Bishop Fallows points ott, it is itain-
ly because the American peopl want no
restritiOns placed upott their 'i'asontable
ittsire to  aiuse  themselves as  they
please regardless of tite, date or playe.
'rlis being admitted, it is not the Iman-
ager then. who is to be wholly blaied
for the evils attending unrestricted Sitn-
day amiusements, but tt, popli     who
ilemand and will find the means of satis-
Iting their craving for enjoyment, ito
matter wIat tle law  may dio in the
Premiiises. It follows, therefore. that a
ititrsal Sunday closing campaign, to
be su-cssfl, tmust be based upon thte
pinciple of education of tt, masses o
tHe imonal and Physical benefits to le de-
iVo-d frot tto universal operation of a
,ot1lo~tht clIosing labw.
We'e  itt,  ngers of various places
of itius-itnet throughout the countttry to
ti.t as a unit in the matter of closing
ttitr iatos of busintess Sundays, no law
i-njoining such a course would be ineces-
sary of enaotitent. But in the comipeti-
tion which rules ito this as in all other
businesses, this ourse, Itowevr desirable
it mttight 1,e, is problematical if not ito-
possible. Meanwhil, professional people
iut contintIe to labor as they have in
tte plist, week itt and week out, vith-
iot ri-aso fromo til. As it notands,
the managers are oe-Iiess itn the prem-
iso-s fmi without iserted action or pil-
ie approval. no relief is possible.
At-tor folk are  not ungrateful, and
while tto agitation in their behalf is
1bei   tontiited i isuch able atd coi-
so-tettiots t-toruileto  ots  Bishiop  Fat-
ltows, their hope of enjoying their Sab-
haths like other people as a Veritable
day of rest will never die, and otte day
it may hue realized. Then Bishop Fal-
lows and thousands of other workers in
the cause of Itinanity will receive the
heartfelt thianks of thousands of worthy
toilers inl whose Ltehalf they tre work-
itng -without tite hope of emnolument or
-eward other than tle tribute of their
own consciences, and the approbation of
those whose interests they aro subser-
ing.

never been equalled. A better balanced
and swifter show could not be seen.
Since ie came to othe front as an en-
tertainer he has won tthe admiration off
nearly every nation in    Europe.   The
ionarchis have doffed their hats or tur-

The steady groVth of THE SHOW WliAl) is a subject of anazed comoent
in amusemin-tt and bunsinss cirlt-S. lI-ginnoing its career less thant two iontis
ago wtih ai issu, of fift-two ptgeS which  nmittedl was tile toost tisnutiful
nagazine ever Published inl this country, I r-solvd I upon; a weekly issue of
twenty-four pages. This S1Ione ploved to b, totill\ itdtlinute and tht,- third
issue was one of thirty-twsto pages. Iheit cant, otI- of thirty-six. anotier of
forty, then one of forty-fotir antd here we ar auamin with another of like size.
What does this growth intdicat? Sirplo thtat ' ,il )IW WORl) is tmking
good everywhert  ind that its oastly irset circtlttion fromn wi-k to week
is convincing advI rtisers that in this journal theyN ha'oe an unsurptassed med-
Im for tt- exploitation of their wares with tt,- certainty of securing the best
resoilts.
A casual glance at the contents of ttis l inumtbr will tonvince any reader
that THE SHOW     VORIAD stands in t class bV itself. Its route lists are Ott,
most complete, wlil its dive-trsifid correspondence is not on lI'tv growing with
tach issue, but is more comnprt iehnsivt, in variety and trcatntttt of news thIan
1oas been hithberto given by anly other atmutsment journal. No journal devoted
to amusements can htop  ior suiccess inlss it publishes all the news and as I
have previously urgtId, tto expwnse sIal be spared byv me to make THE SH1OW
WVORLD the Premier journal of its clASs ttot only in the Variety and scope of
its correspondence, blut its other fedttitus as well.
