Dramatic ans Musical Matters.
We hyve published certified copy Of the law extend
Ing profession to dramatic alhors II provides that alter
they shall have copyrighted their pieces person shall
have right to perform then without the authors per-
mission. ADy manager who infrlnges upon caid copy
right is Liable to darnges-ons hundred dollars for the
first Performance, ana fifty for each subsequent repre-
seaon. The trouble has BEEN heretofore that printed
pieces might be acted without tae authors consent and
manuscripts were freqrertly stolen, or surepsously
copied, SO tina. the author owner liable 70 be
robbed At any tne without remedy. Under such c.cum
stances almost any kind OF literary labor profit
able than play writing and this is said is the real
why taere have been few good American plays Euw
We shall see whether not have any resident authors
who ce1 be compared either in the number the
eelence Of their productions to the London aud Pis
dramatss. Our managers will be glad to get and pay
for pieces that worth acting and play has good
run in fsew York. II sure to be called for all ovey the
country We presume hatthe next stop will be the fer
nation oi Dramatic Authors Society," to decide upon
terms to be made with managers for the representation
oforign1 pieces. Opg has done all that II fer
the authors let them do something for themselves.
