THE REMEDY in the hands of every gas consumer, by attachment to their mete* of SLEEMAN'S AUTOMATIC GAS -SATING GOVERNOR. Can be attached to any gas meter in 30 minutes.

They remedy smoking and "blowing" burners; insure complete combustion; increase brilliancy of light: permit no waste gas; no poisonous vapors; no vitiated atmos- phere. SAVE THEIR COST EVERY THREE MONTHS 1 eqnal to 400 per cent, per an- num. Entire metallic construction simple, efficient, durable. Indorsed by highest commer- cial, mechanical and expert authorities.

TOGETHER WITH MUCH OTHEH INFORMATION OF VALUE TO THE AMUSEMENT PROFESSION. HARRY MINER, EDITOR. NEW YORK: WOLF & PALMER DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY, Nos. 81 AND 83 ZLM STREET. 1884. Entered according to act of Congress in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C., October 30, 1884, by Harry Miner. PREFACE. IN compiling and presenting this work to the public I have endeavored to fill a hitherto vacant place in the useful department of American libraries. The growing popularity of the Stage, and almost universal desire to be- come better acquainted with things theatrical, convinced me several years since that a Directory would be^not only eagerly sought after, but, if accurate, greatly simplify the labors of both managers and agents. I accordingly in- structed the agents and managers of my various combinations to forward from time to time correct information regarding theatres, halls, hotels, railways and steamers to the office of the People's Theatre, where I carefully revised and ar- ranged the volumes of ^matter thus collected] and I take this opportunity to furnish them for the use of the public in general, and the theatrical profession in particular. Having a regularly organized staff of traveling managers and agents con- stantly employed in the working of my amusement enterprises, and being in communication with the leading representatives of the Theatrical World, I en- joy advantages that enable me to make the work I have undertaken more thorough and complete than any Guide or Directory ever published in America. The routes around the world, capacity of public buildings, distance and census tables have been gathered from reliable sources, and if they prove as useful to my readers as they have been difficult to obtain, I shall be amply repaid for my time and labor. Very truly yours, HARRY MINER. People's Theatre, October, 1884. HARRY MINER'S American Dramatic Directory ROUTE ABOUND THE WORLD.
