Dramatic Authors.

It is said that the receipts from the per-
formances of Mime. Sans Gene" In and
outside Of Paris have amounted to more
than $500, 600 and brought fortune to the
author. The profession of dramatic author,
however, has not always been SO remuner-
alive in France.
Before the formation of the Society OF
Dramatists ST. Roman, the director OF
the Porte Saint, Martin. bought the rights
for the presentation of piece for $50 and
gave the author in addition $3.50 each
time the piece was presented. In 1885 the
income of the author for pieces presented
mt l. A&Obigu was fixed ut w. nignt ioi
a piece of three acts for the first "a times.
