AN AMERICAN ADVANTAGE.
But this is DEPRESSION. The law in this country
has always been. in one respect. better than that
OF England In England an author cannot keep
his property right in play unless 1t is performed
IN England as soon as II Is anywhere else inns ~
why 1.-THE Pirates OF Penzance' was played IN
small town there on the same night that IL
was brought forward in New-York. as already men
toned. Sometimes this popularity Of the law has
curious results order to be valid for copyright
purposes the performance must. OF course, be
required as TO the extent OF the advertising the
size OF the audience. When the desire is to make

"The Foresters." was done at Days Theatre IN

In this country the copyright performance IL NOT

TIE NEW LAW.
IT would be more proper to call the new law not
copyright law. hut property right law One
OF its important provisions is that a decision re-
strainng the performance of given play by
United States district court shall apply 10 all dis
trcts that IL shall not be necessary to try
the often the offence is attempted. An
other provision Is that the production of prated
play shall be punishable by fine and imprisonment
This will make things less pleasant for those who
formerly able to laugh at the owner OF a
play because they got through with their perform
of IL before he able to get his in
Junction. The new law has been secured mainly
through the efforts OF the American Dramatisis
Club The good effect OF its passage by Congress
Is said TO be already apparent. J. IL reported that
the Chicago concern Is terrified into fits. and has
already begun to make inquiries about playing Ger
tain pieces on lawful royalties.
