Public Readings Pay.

What emoluments do public readers
receive? They are generally well paid.
Mrs. Scott-Siddons, for instance, makes
more money than any one else in the
profession, and has returned to Europe
with 100000, her net receipts for sea
sons readings. She receives from 500
to $500 night,
Locke Richardson gets even higher
nav. For Il course of six readings he
would receive about $1,000 When he
reads before one of the clubs he gets
from 500 to 5000. Sydney Woollett has
the same repertoire; he, too, is very
busy man,
The demand nowadays is not so much
for professional readers as for authors
who read from their own works. Cable
for instance, is a great success. lie
never gives a reading for less than Sloo.
He is in great demand for young ladies
schools and seminaries,
Thomas Nelson Page is also great
platform success; he never goes for less
than 500. Philadelphia Times
