Of Interest to Theater- Goers.

1t has long been an unsettled question
as to just what rights were acquired by
any one who bought a theater ticket, the
weight OF opinion, based on an old En-
glish case being to the effect that Il
ticket was a mere license, revocablo at
the will of the one who Issues 1t, and that
the sale and purchase of ticket In
volved no elements of a contract.
The New York Court OF Appeals In
recent opinion In the case of Colllster vs.:
Hayman, so carefully and ably reasoned
that II is likely to be generally followed.
takes a different view. 1t Is held that
while the ticket Is not q contract II is In
some degree evidence of one, which can
be implied from all tho circumstances
Under the contract the purchaser of a
ticket for the consideration named has a
right to enter the thcatcr. occupy the
seat designated. and witness the perform
ance The ticket Is a license pursuant
TO the contract. and is revocnble for the
violation OF any proper regulations as to
order and quiet. and such reasonable con-
ditions as appear on II. The court held
that the proprietors might refuse 10 admit
any one who purchases a ticket on the
sidewalk, provided notice appeared on the
ticket
The principal point OF interest TO the
theater-goers is that they do not hold
their seats by a license revocablc Mt the
will OF the proprictors, but by contract
under which they have rlghte which can
not be arbitrarily disrcgarded.-Wa ashlng-
