Bronson Howard says of theebill now
before congress to make play piracy a
felony: This season there are so
many companies presenting pirated
plays under false names, and serious
injustice is done the public and the
people who alone have the right to
present them. Whole sections of the
United States are made a desert for
legitimate attractions, for these sharks
get in ahead with their garbled YER
sions and atrocious renditions. People
imagine they are seeing an original
bona f1de drama, when they are in
reality listening to a miserable coun-
terfeit. The new law, if passed, will
get these people who pilfer the brains
of honest men, in its iron clutches and
pretty soon their occupation will be
gone. Heretofore injunctions have had
no terror for them for they would i'm
mediately skip out of the Jurisdiction
of the judge granting it, and as they
wouldn't venture back, there was no
way to punish them. Mr.. Cummings
bill meets that trouble by extending
the scope of judicial authority"
