In 1921 an act OF Parliament secured by
the management. under which the bonus was
reduced one-half and the free admissions con-
tnued as before this new arrangement to last
only for the seventy-G years of the lease then
granted by the owner Of the land, the Duke OF
Bedford. Ever since that date the Renters
have eXacted fulflment Of the contract so far
free tickets are concerned, but have by no
means succeeded in collecting all of the cash
bonus The managers of the theatre have paid,
or have prOfessed to pay, all they could, but AZ
John Chnaman says IF no havee, how canee?'
The amount received by each Renter has
ranged from II to ElJ u year. That has not
been high rate of interest on an Investment OF
900. But in addition, each has had his free
ticket for each performance, and as these tickets
have been transferable, they have often been
able TO sell them for good prices-sonetimes for
& ES apiece star opera nights On the
whole, therefore, the Renters" have probably
got larger returns from their investments than
any one else connected with The theatre.
The seventy-fve years Of the lease have now
expired. and the compact with the subscribers
has been cancelled. OF course. oil the original
Renters" are long since dead, as are the So
called new Renters" who entered into the new
arrangement in 1921. But the heirs or other
rcpres cntatives Of nearly all Of them have con"
tinued to take an active interest in the theatre
down to the present time. The owners OF only
two Of the certificates have apparently disap-
pcarod altogether If they ever do turn up. they
will find a snug sum Of money awaiting them in
the Court of Chancery At the las; meeting OF
the RENTERS the other day final dividend OF
e. 9s was declared on each share, and a receipt
in full Of all demands given to the pro-
prictors Of the theatre which acts as a final DIS
charge from all obligation to the Renters"
There will be no more bonus to pay ana no more
free tickets TO issue The venerable playhouse is
now the property Of the Duke Of Bedford. free
and clear of all encumhrances, and can now be
