THE TnEAsuRERs OF OUR THEATRES.


To THE EpIroR OF HEInLp:-
While the subject Of ticket speculation is before the
public wish to speak OF another imposition prac-
tised by managers or by those whom they employ AZ
trcastrcrs. Several times when have asked for tho
best seats that could be given for certain price
have noticed that better seats In front OF remain
unoccupiod during the evening. When 1t was
nouncod that Anna Dickinson would deliver her lee.
turc in tho Firth Avcnne Theatre went mmcdiatcly
TO obtain tickets, IA wished seats I'm the first Of
tho frst balcony. The treasurer informed me that
those were all sold. Suspecting that such was
not the casc turned away, rcnarking that would
not take tickets. whcroupon he called back. aging
that he would give inc the seats wished.
About the Same thing happened Mt the Grand Opera
House last week. After taking the very best seats
thov could give me found nearly two rows Of scata
In front or me unoccupicd. and thoy remained so
during the whole evening. Now cannot under.
stand why the best seats should be held for those
who come last or why managers prefer thcm to re-
main unoccupied rather than give them to those who
como first. Certainly this is not In accordance with
the old saying, "first come first served"
INDIGNANT.

ANOTHER SHAkESpEAIsOlD TRAGEDY.
Mr.. j. Payne Collier writes to the Aueaeam that
he is confident from internal evidence play pub
lished anonymously in London in 1899. entitled IA
Warning to Fair Women" is in part. at least tho
handiwork of Shakespeare. The story is domestic
and relates to the murder OF husband by his wife
which occurred Shooters Hill nearly twenty
years before Shakespeare was popular writer for
the stage Mr.. Collier says:-
The main incident is mentioned by Holinshed
under the date OF 1873; the name of the murdered
husband Sanders and the murderer Brown. the
wife Anne conspirina and conscnting to the III urder.
After the deed We have or rcmorse. reproach
and rel enhance by the wife in tho presence of
paraInour and friend of the name OF Drewry; ana
