Now that the theatrical season is
again open it is timely to remind
would-be spectators in theatre tickets
that speculation in theatre tickets is
prohibited in Norfolk unless the specu-
lator has license. Theatre ticket
speculation proved n serious nuisance
on several occasions last season. and
that is what led to the passage of the
ordinance. The ordinance read that
every person. other than the manager
or proprietor of n duly licensed theatre,
or of any other licensed place of pub
lie amusement, who sells tickets en-
to o theatre or other licensed place of
public amusement. shall pay for the
privilege license tax of $50 per year,
or for part Of year.
"a violation of this ordinance shall
be punishable by fine of not less than
$50 and not more than 500, recoverable
as other city fines are now 'recovera-
ble."
Another new ordinance that interests
theatre goers is that requiring hats off
in places of public amusement This
applies to both sexes and is aimed at "a
hat or any ornament or adornment on
in the rear of such person obtaining
view of the stage" The fine for in
fraction of this ordinance is not less
than 81, nor more than So

"M'FADDEN'S ROW OF FLATS"
The hilarious musical farce comedy.
known as "McFadden's Row of Flats"
Will be the offering at the Academy of
Music tomorrow (Monday), matinee
and night. The piece has undergone
u great change, all for the better, since
its last production here. The scenic
effects and beautiful costumes are be-
yond the usual equipment of the most
pretentioUs productions. and there is
snap and ginger about the performance
that cannot help but make it desira-
Bile and popular. The cast of charac-
ters is stronger than ever and com
prises such high-class artists as Nc
Waters and Tyson, Harry Watson,
Bobby Ralston, Frederick Bros, Jen-
rie Lament, Jerry Sullivan, John
Price. Ina Thomas. Alonzo Lang and
dozen others. The vaudeville fea-
lures are all of the most attractive
kind and large and well-drIlled
chorus gives added effect to the num-
erous up-to-date musical numbers.
The funny dwarfs stir up things gene
rally; the burleseque on Sousa and his
band is delightfully."- laughable. while
the billy goat continues to indulge in
his saw-dust diet with tin can on
the side. and Incidentally doubles UP
with Alex and George In response to
the alarm OF fire. There are many
other things that keep one IN q good
humor. not forgetting this treachefous
stairs which seemingly take fall oAt
of each member of the company.

PUBLISHING PLAYS.

face about. In the olden times one
of the chief sources of income that the
dramatic author enjoyed was from the
sale of his play in printed form. Now
adayS when an author has constructed
a. good scenario, instead of straight
way throwing it into the form of Il
play, he pours it into fiiction's mould.
If the novel meets with success and
has the ingredients of n play in it. it
is pretty sure to find it's way to the
stage.
F. Marion Crawfords novel "In the
Palace of the King" now running in
Munsey's. was purposeiy cast into the
form of n play and then remoulded into
novel, reversing the procedure.
The reason there is little or no sale
for published plays. as in former
times, Is easily accounted for. The old
time dramas were in most cases writ
ten in rhyme or blank verse. The pub
lie was as DESTROYS of reading the verse
as seeing the play upon the stage.
Hence, the drmatic author had a dou-
BILE revenue, just as the novelist nova
days receives royalty from his novel
and from the play modelled after his
story.
Lorimer Stoddard. it Is understood,
will revive the former custom OF pub
fishing the play He is dramatizing
Mr.. Crawfords SIN the Palace of the
King" and will publish II after Miss
Viola Allen has presented the play
upon the stage. Mr.. Crawford will. Of
course. receive portion of the profit:
hence from his story he will receive
novel itself. from the royalties on the
play and from the play In printed
