OF Public Interest.

We have received the following brief
uoie:
To ths Editor Of The Register.
SIR-Has the manager of the Opera
House the right to sell reserved seats altar
the beginning of q performance?
SUBSCRIBER.
This was shown Manager Foose last
evening when he said: ~
I'VE most certainly claim the right to
sell all the reserved seats we can. 1t ia the
custom everywhere for managers, after the
sale of seats closes at the box Office, to
mark of certain number
for sale during the interval
between the opening Of the doors and the
rising Of the curtains. We avail ourselves OF
this custom. / have known people to 90
several times 10 the box sheet, and at the
last moment pick out one or two seats which
were not reserved late on the evening of the
performance. Then they would 20 early,
pay for simple admission, and preempt
those seats. Sometimes it happens that
seats taken in this way have been reserved
al the ticket Office before the curtain goes
up, and those economical folks who saved
the extra quarters reserved seat would have
cost, have been obliged to move. Then
they grumble. think we ere entitled TO
sellreservsd seats up to the last moment.
