ONE BOY BOUGHT ENTIRE
HOUSE FOR A1kUFND OF SWAT

Complaint, loud and long has arisen
over the method in which the sale of
the seats for the "Ahkund of Swat
was conducted yesterday. The seat
sale was supposed to have been opened
az nine o'clock yesterday morning at
Wall, Nichols & Co. but would-be pur-
chasers who tried to get tickets at
that time. claim that it was impossible
to do So Particular complaint is made
because almost the entire house for
the "Ahkund of Swat" was sold to a
messenger boy, practically before regu-
lar patrons were given an opportunity
to make their purchases.
This is not the first time that such
tactics have been resorted to in the
sale of theatre tickets said DR.. Z. B.
Wood yesterday. while have no
special cause for complaint on this oc-
casion. as DR.. Day secured satisfac-
tory seats for me. yet the manner in
which the sales are handled is an out
rage. Not only in amateur perform
ances but in other things as well. the
practice has grown SO. that the ordin-
airy patron of the opera house has no
chance of getting seat.
Yesterday, so am informed by DR..
Day. this messenger boy appeared at
Wall. Nichols when the seat sale open
ed at nine O'Clock. He was FIRST in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-04-29

line and handed In a list of names of
all of them. And the boy did not pay
for any OF the seats; the tickets were
simply laid aside to be called for by
the persons named by the messenger
boy. It simply amounted to a delega-
ton of authority by Wall, Nichols to
this messenger boy. When DR.. Day
was told by Mr.. Wall, that he couldn't
help it, as he couldn't reserve seats
ahead of the opening. He said that
he couldn't even make an exception for
his own brothers and had told them
yesterday If they wished seats they
had better go to this messenger boy.
Practically the entire house was
sold to this boy, and he wasn't COM
PEELED to pay a cent. What is to pre-
vent others from doing the same thing
and specializing with the tickets? Or
what is to prevent someone from buy
ing up the house and compelling these
amateurs to play to empty seats?
The proper way is to limit the num-
Der of tickets which one man may buy,
as is done in most of the cities on the
mainland. No one would object to
single purchases of half dozen or
even dozen tickets. but to allow an
irresponsible boy to buy up the house
is more than the theatre goers here
can be expected to stand
