the light of London fame. All that is
sunk in a London production has not
one penny contributed TO IL by the
provincial manager. who says that he
must come in on terms as an equal
partner. IN the old days it was SO per
cent and so per cent to the travelling
manager for a drama, and an extra
or 10 per cent for musical play or
big attraction. Now the ring booked
theatres want 20 offer US so per cent
all around.
II for my part have determined TO
fight It tooth and nail, and shall await
the interesting experiment made by
George Dance, who on one Of his
tours has boldly refused to go TO the
legitimate theatres in two Of the laFg-
est towns and has openly booked the
local music halls, for which engage
ments the managers viii obtain an
occasional license, and thus avoid an
informer's prosecution. The music
hall public. which is an all-the-year-
around one, viii welcome a change
from its usual nightly fare The re-
suit Will be a big gain, both TO the
resident and the touring manager
Position Becomes Serious.
The position has become so serious
that, except Tor the biggest LONDON
successes, it has not been worth any
ones while TO take many good plays
into the country. The provincial man.
ayers say, We won't have you at all
unless at our price: we won't allow
dramatic sketches or plays at the
music halls unless the halls possess a
dramatic license. AS ali this boycott
ting nonsense IS being carried out BY
many theatrical managers who them
selves have interests and managing
powers in many of the music hall syn
dicates, it is felt that a stand should
be made. and it is 70 be made in the
way l have suggested
