PLAYWRIGHT WINS SUIT
SHOW BADLY PRODUCED.
Stops Performance Made
ridiculous By Change of Lines.

Playwrights, who have chafed over the wide
powers retained by theatrical managers in the
legal victory that Edward Peple. author of THE
Prince Chap" has just secured over F. Ray Com
stock.
The suit grew of the handling of a play called
THE Love Route" which was produced by stock
companies, instead of in a first class manner, as
the author maintained his contract called for.
Through his attorneys, Heyn & Covington the
playwright sued for termination Of the contract,
the recovery OF the play, an accounting of the
royalties and an injunction restraining Mr. Com
stock from further producing THE Love Route"
The complaint declared that the contract had been
violated in three particuars-by putting the play
in stock by changing the lines 80 as to make the
play ridiculous and by the failure of the manager
to give accounting OF the box office receipts on
days notice.
Justice Bischoff finds that the contract was so
one-sided that it did not give the author the right
to terminate It except on the failure furnish box
office statemsnts In his opinion he says:
It was not otherwise termnable and all the
ants choice in producing the play, matter which

might lie idle in the defendants hands;
TO direct the continuance of one-sded agree
ment Of this kind and to deprive the plaintiff of
the benefit of the one meagre provision for his pro
of equity. The plaintiff should have judgment for
the relief demanded with costs.
Many men prominent in the dramatic world testi-
fed in the trial. including Augustus Iholnas ana
Hollis E Cooley. secretary of the National Assocta-
ton of Theatrical Producing Managers.
Apparently Mr.. Peple firmly convinced that
he would be unable to satisfaction in court for
what he considered a shabby handling of his play
