theatcr is completed the Grand will
become y popular priced house, that
is Is, 25. 30 and so cents. That's as
low as prices can be placed and at the
same time give the public anything like
good attractions. / don't think 10, 20
and 20 cent prices can be maintained
regularly by thcater with any degree
Of success but do believe that a
large number of thcaters throughout
the country viii have to adopt tns
10, %, 35 and sc cent schedule when
they open their houses in the fall. We
are already Planning attractions for
the Academy of Music for next season
and intend to give the public the high
est class of companies that can be
obtained at these truly popular prices.
They will be seasoned by some of the
best attractions on the road for which
customary prices will have to be
charged"
