performance of the military spectacle of 'sThs

THE TICKET spEcULAToRs AGAIN.
BROOKLYN PARK THEATRE. March S. 1879.

BROOKLYN PARK THEATRE, March s. 1879.
To THE EDITOR HEnALp:-
am glad to that you have taken up the ques.
ton of theatre ticket spccuators. and hope you
will continue the good work until either the Legis-
lature at Albany the authorities Of the cities OF
New York and Brooklyn pass bill similar to that
proposed In the HERALD Of Sunday, March Q, which
does, the entire question. Now. let both press and
public "strike while the iron is hot"
You say that ait is absurd to pretend that managers
Of theatres cannot prevent tho ticket speculators
from gobbing up all tho good seats in the house."
In that you wrong. The writer win give you his
experience as far the Brooklyn Park Theatre il
concerned. have been fighting the ticket specu
ators for the past four years in Brooklyn. On one
occasion had speculator arrested for obstructing
tho doorway and sidewalk. He was detained in the
station house all night and the next morning was
informed that he could not be held for trial he hsds
license, aud hceven threatened suit for damages
that was glad to let the matter drop. How is 10
possible to prevent ''speculators" from buying tck-
cts? My orders ut tho box Office that no tickets
to be sold to 'speculators," and willing to
swear that my instructions faithfully carried out.
but whom the "spcculators' send strange men.
American District messengers, and even ladies' to buy
two more tickets at time and have strangers to
get into line ut the opening Of the ticket Office aud
buy. the same the general public. what then. I
ask, can the manager do? have upon several
casions put an agent in front OF the theatre with
twenty-five or thirty tickets with instructions not
to offer any Tor sale until the "spcculator" had .
customer. then to offer them at the regular price.
saying, "he instructed by the manager but
what was tho RESULT The cunning "specuator'
would quietly wait until my agents tickets all
sold, then sell his st Atty cents moro advance
on the regular price. have also placed
in front Of tho theatre and ndesd, stood there my
self telling the public not to buy of the "specula-
tors; that tickets could be bought at the box Office.
&c. have advertised In tho newspapers, asking the
public not TO buy Of spcculaors. but TO no avail:
Last week called on Mayor Howell and explained
the matter to him. He gave orders not to issue any
licenses to icket spectators" from the 1st of April
and feel confident that the citzcns of Brooklyn will
thank him for thus abating tho evil until havo
law passed. The city OF Brooklyn issues licenses to
ten spectators at So each per year. giving the
city . revenue from that source Of $50 per year;
and will venture to say that the citizens OF
Brooklyn often pay $3.50 profit to speculntors In
week in front of my theatre alone, and on
opera nights at the Academy much as 500 per
night. have refused ofIer of 800 per month for
the privilege Of selling in the lobby Of my theatre.
