THE PROCTOR PLAN.
A few Sundays ago the vast reading
public of New York City was somewhat
mystified to understand the meaning of a
very small but significant advertisement,
appearing in certain obscure places in all
the daily newspapers. Each advertise-
ment had something to say about the
"Proctor
Plan."
Within
twenty-four
hours, as a result of Mr. Proctor's in-
genious methods, ninety-nine per cent. 01
the millions of New York's reading public
were asking:
"What is the Proctor
Plan?" When Mr. Proctor was asked as
to the solution of the problem, he simply
answered: "The 'Proctor Plan' just con-
sists in taking care of the Proctor audiences
at the Proctor theatres; that is to say, it is
a part of the 'Proctor Plan' to furnish each
auditor with a clean, wholesome show, and
plenty of it; with courteous attention from
the moment one enters the doors until one
leaves it; with pleasant and agreeable sur-
roundings, alike for young and old, and
finally to leave all comers with the im-
pression that they have received more than
their money's worth, which in all cases is
really a fact."
This doubtless explains
why the Proctor playhouses are getting
more than their share of patronage just at
this time, when other theatres seem to be
languishing.
CARNEGIE CONTRIBUTES HALF THE COST.
