There was talk by other spectators,
among them man named Slater, who
said that the big fellows get Sc or IS, or
$40 for a single ticket. because they are
in collusion with the theatres, while the
smaller men. like myself, must buy our
tickets from the box offices in a legitimate
way" Another speculator. named Beebe.
said there existed combination of five
spectators who were in league with the
managers Of big Broadway successes. He
thought that fully 90 per cent of the
theatres were in league with the specua-
tors. He told Of one play, & great sue
cess. at which the tickets for the first
five rows for the first eight weeks went
to this combination of speculators, who
paid the box Office g 10 for each of these
s. seats. Beebe said that when the houses
had a great success they asked for bids
for the best seats from the combination.
The hearing will be continued on Thurs
