To THE EDITOR oP THE SUS-Siy. In those
days when n revival OF public spirit gives
promise OF many practical reforms. is il not
about time that the long ng-surering patrons
OF our playhouses should rebel against the
"speculator" evil?
No one can reasonably object to the highest
standard of prices at which management
can fll its house. But place OF public amuse-
ment should not only publish It's rates. but
should by law adhere to said rates This
would not inhibit extra prices for special per-
forrnances If need be. but it would restore to
the public its right TO buy ticket at the ad-
vertised price.
