New York correspondent Of the Phila.
delphia Ledger: THE reduction of the
price of admission at the leading Phila.
delphia theaters is a matter of much
ak among managers and the dra.
matte profession here. Some of
our places of public amusement have
reduced their prices also, but until Wal.
lacks and one or two others follow the
example the public will get no appreci.
able benefit from it. If the 6rstclass
theaters will lead, the reduction would
become general. The action Of the
Chestnut street Theater, however, it is
believed, will have the effect of fsrcing a
revision of prices which will have to
come anyhow, sooner or later"
