The Board Of Aldermen OF New York
City has amended the ordinance licensing
thenter ticket spectators by increasing
the license fee from so 10 500. This has
been done with View TO lcssening the
number OF Spectators who crowd the
sidewalks In front OF various thcatcrs by
driving out OF the business many OF the
smaller dealers who cannot afford to pay
the increased fee. An attempt was made
to amend the ordinance In such a way as
a ticket
found that this could not be done at pres

CLYDE Fitch Is said to be one OF the
most persistent and patient OF authors at
rehearsal and the Importance he gives TO
the details Of life and the thcatcr re-
doubles the necessary expense OF energy.
Managers, however. are not always ready
To give him fun swing in staging play,
and their reluctance may be understood
In View OF the expense IL involves. Three
thousand dollars was spent ON MAI.
Andre" before the first night merely In
rehedrsinG the company and the scenery,
and the play ran some ten days. But Tor
the most part, the expense is amply JUS
tned. Many an actor has TO thank Mr.
Fitch for a strong lift-up on the way 70
success. Sometimes he finds 1t necessary
to build better than his actors know. ON
one occasion Il minor actress, 10 whom,
he had given a low comedy character
part, came 10 him for preliminary IN

comedy, or shall l play 1t rehned?'' What
Mr.. Fitch wanted was an air OF vulgar
amectation, and he had selected the aC-
tress because this was natural to her
But he could hardly tell her so Play
it refined. he said with one Of his quick
Inspirations. The actress, was delighted
in at last attaining high comedy, and
threw her soul into the part Her per
formance was convulslng beyond Mr.,
Fitchs hopes She was mysuhcd. but not
disappointed, for 1t was obviously the sue
cess of her career.
The New York Herald says Thomas
Dixons play The Clansman," is much
like negro minstrel show,
a very natural desire of the actor is 10
get everything possible out OF a line
to squeeze 1t dry-to hit the audience
blow with it,, as from q hammer. instead
OF making point lightly and passing on
as If unaware that he had made point.
There are many tricks OF the stage for
increasing this emphasis, and they are
especially In favor to strengthen the de-
graded thing called the laugh, which is
one OF the curses of the English stage.
Every time an audience stops play to
guffaw the illusion OF the etagc Is lost,
and the actor has the hard task of Great

Dick Temple. who Is playing Sir Lionel
TO Marie CahilIs Molly Moonshine, was
joyfully received In Chicago by several
countrymen OF old England, derclictS
from a disastrous season of summer mu-
sIcaI comedies on the shores OF Lake
Michigan. Temple found himself very
popular and In fact was obliged to tell
several long stories to the management
I'm order to get advances to satisfy hlS
unfortunate fellows. Finally a chap who
had been told Of Temples generosity and
who was disliked by him got a note In
through the dOorkceper and Temple came
down from his dressing-room TO see him.
The conversation ran:
'Oh, l say, Dick old fellow. cawnt you
help a chap to get back TO New York?
I'm all in, really"
You want to get back to New York
do you, do you2"
Yes, Dick. | do

others who Wish to get back to New
York. 1t Is now possible for you TO get a
