"A SANE MANAGERS REPLY.

To THE EDITOR or THE HxRALD:-
The article in to-day's HERALD headed "Aro
Theatre Managers Crazy certainly calls for reply
rs far as am concerned. 1t states that when pro-
duced THAT Lass O. Lowres' only charged seventy
fvecents for reserved seats and propose charg-
ing 81 5O and further states that the expenses are
not any greater. This certainly proves Fair Plays
ignorance tho subject. My expenses with THAT
Lass o. Lowres less than 50 900 for the week.
The expenses for the ensuing week are over $1,000.
We're to attempt to play at seventy nve cents for my
highest price. the theatre, packed to its utmost
capacity, would barely hold the expenses. and q
theatre manager" would indeed be crazy to do 1t.
In Europe governments run theatres for the smuse-
mcnt Of the public individuals for profit. Ny exc
pcricncc been that the public will support good
thing at any fair price, and their appreciation OF
and artists has not fallen low to ask for
bination like Dion Boucicault Agnes Robertson Ada
Dyas John Brougham. Domnck Murray, John
Gilbert. Harry Beckett, d. W. Waller and Harvey
Dodwerth at concert hail prices. I may here add
that while we charge 81 50 for our best seats do

DEATH OF LOUIS FRANCOIS NICOLAIE

The cable announces the death, in Paris, yester-
day. of Louis Francois Nicolaie. better known as
Clairville, the French dramatic author, in
the sixty-ninth year Of his age. He was
born at Lyons. January 90. 1911. Of
theatrical parents His father. quitting his fam
lily to go upon the stage, changed his name and
took that Of Clairville, under which his son

age Of, ten years. and Of which his father
was then the director. As he grew up
he became immensely useful to his managerial
scenes in every Imaginable capacity. But he
longed to be author, and in 1899. when
only eighteen years old. he produced his first piece
and became the principal purveyor Of his father 3

stage of the Ambigu. he had already produced

Ambigu was review Of the year entitled Eighteen

cease writing for the stage, and the bare cata
ce Of his pieces mostly os w1sn b IN sr
hong for detail in this brief sketch. His
fecundity was extraordinary; his reviews, Jeerics
and fifty. In spite OF the rapidity with
which he composed, these pieces remarkable for
the facility, dash. gayety-at times verging
illusions to persons and events. and bold
equiroques. These qualities sufficiently account
him at the Class of theatres for which he composed;
but. in the single case Of LA File de Madame

popular sense. Among his coiidb0rdfeTs were NM.
