AT LAW ABOUT "HAZEL KIRKE."
Mackaye's Heirs Sue for Share Of the
Profits of the Play.

Profits OF the Play.
The suit which the widow OF the late
Steele Mackaye has brought against Mar
shall II. ana George S. Mallory to recover
a share of the profits of "Hazel Kirke,"
was begun Monday in the United States
Circuit Court at New York. The heirs
OF the dead author claim that under his
contract with the Mallorys, Steele Mac
Kaye was entitled to share in the profits
OF the play. s4H
Mackaye was engaged by Marshall ii.
Mallory in 1879 TO take entire artistic
control of the theater which Mallory was
on the point of organizing. Mackaye was
to get q. salary OF $1,000 year and the
plays he wrote, the mechanical devices
Tor he theater that he invented, and his
entire activity were to belong to the
Mallorys. A clause In his contract
allowed him, after the receipts OF the
theater were twice as much as the ex-
penditures, q certain percentage of the
profits. When he had been associated for
year with the Mallorys, Steele Mackaye
claimed that he was entitled to this per-
centage. When he failed to get it, after
u suit brought in 1881, he started to use
the play OF ''Hazel Kirke" on the road.
This was prevented by an injunction.
The trial commenced Monday was in
reality begun In 1881. The play of "HaZel
Kirke, which Is memorable for having
enjoyed Q longer run than any other piece
previously produced in New York, was
the occasion for other unprecedented
features of theatrical management. 1t
was the first play to be acted in different
parts of the country at the same time by
different companies, aud during its en-
gagement at the Madison Square Theater
Ave or six companies played II in various
parts of the United States. IL was also
the first play which occasioned any sys-
-tematic fgnt against the pirates OF plays.
The piece was SO extensively stolen that
Its owners were compelled to employ un-
usual diligence to protect their rights.
1t was the agitation which commenced
over this play that is shortly expected TO
end In law that will make play stealing
impossible.
ihe play is said to have yielded more
than $500, 900 to its owners, ana the at
torney for the heirs Of steele Mackaye
claims that the share of ii due them Is
800, 900. The Mallorys are the owners of
The Churchman, and George s. Mallory is
q clergyman.
