BEFORE THE COPYRIGHT LAW.
Agnes Ethel Tracy the FlrM Woman to
Pay for . Foreign Play.

Agnes Ethel Tracy the FirSt Woman 70
Pay for . Foreign Play.
Agnes Ethel Tracy. who died the other
day, was the first woman In this country
to pay foreign dramatist anything for the
use Of his plays.
In 1872 she went to Paris and INST Vic
torien Sardou. There was no international
copyright law then. and foreign plays were
used here without any compensation to
the authors.
Miss Ethel, a she was called then. talked
with Sardou about q play for her use. and
was deli GIFTED to learn the details Of his
Agnes in which there was a role suited
to her The dramatist had called it Ara
bella, as he thought that a typical American
name. The title was changed, and Miss
Ethel bought the play and paid the dean
OF the French dramatists $40 900 in royalties
while she acted in the drama.
This was the first payment ever made By
an American actor or manager to a foreign
dramatist. Now foreign paywrights re-
oeive their royalties, in case certain COPY
right forrnahties are complied with, as regu-
larly as II they were on the spot.
Agnes Ethel got another play in France
without paying for it. She met Meilhao
and Halevy, authors OF -Frou-frou, which
she had made famous here. They had
never earned cent from the production.
although Augustn DAILY made thousands out
OF t. The adaptation was made by him.
The French authors were delightfully."-
courteous to Miss Ethel and told her that
they wanted her to consider the play her
property. It belonged legally to nobody
in America, they said, and they wanted her
to consider the drama her own.
Miss Ethel was delighted and told the
story on her return. Some years Later
she arranged for an amateur per 'orman
Of the play in Buffalo. Shc, wrote TO Au-
g,istin DAILY as a matter OF form, telling
him that she was to use the old Meilhao
and Halevy drama.
Il beg to notify you came the answer
from Mr. DAILY. that you hove my per.
miss on to use the play. But shall expect
my usual royalty on the performance.
This response amused Miss Ethel since
II there were any proprietary rights IN the
piece in this country they belonged to her
through the gift Of the authors.
