MORE THEATRES CUT
DOWN SEAT PRICES
General Reduction Is Predicted
by Managers for the
Near Future.
LARGER SALES ALREADY

Two additional theatres announced
yesterday a reduction in the prices OF
orchestra seats with indications that
others are likely to Join the movement. IL
was predicted that $3.50 will soon be-
come the regular price in New York
a condition that has not existed here In
the past twenty years.
The houses Announcing the reductions.
which went into effect last night, are the
Gambler Theatre. owned by Conan AZ
Harris. and playing The House OF
| Glass and the Booth Theatre, a Shu-
bert house. The Longacre Theatre has
! made a 81 and $3.50 scale for matinee
| performances. There are now four thea
tres of the higher class that are adver-
Maxine Elliott will adopt the same scale
tonight.
Managers who have made the reduc-
ton reported "A 20 per cent, increase in
business yesterday, and those hat have
definitely committed themselves To the
plan were enthusiastic in the belief that
il was now only a question OF a short
time before many offers would follow
suit.

| cut rate agent, because of his promise
not to cut rates, will receive IN allot-
ment OF seats in all the theatres and Will
| sell them at the advertised box office
price, receiving 10 per cent. commission.
This was confirmed by sam II. Harris,
S.cretary OF the association. He added
| that he thought the new agreement was
WORKING satisfactorily and that there
were few indications of violations in the
rules on TIE part of the hotel agencies.
He said that the arrangement with lie

but in spite OF the new agreements
said Mr., Harris, I'VE have no satisfac-
| tory method of stopping the private spec
ulators from selling seats at large pre-
miums. This condition IL likely Always
to exist. They receive no encourage
| ment, however. from the managers, and
only by digging for seats at the box
offices are they able to secure tickets In
advance. So far the plan as not had
a thorough trial. our principal purpose
from the beginning has been to help tina
| public by doing away with the state OF
affairs that was a cause OF complaint
| for many years"

Interest Increases to the End.

Mr.. Kenyon has related his fiction In
fairly engrossing fashion with the advan-
tage ON his side that the growth in
interest is steidily cumulative. The
last act is by far the best of the three.
There are strcu,hes OF dialogue in the
second act which could be condensed
to the advantage of that part OF the
drama Any quickening of the action
mere will be an Improvement. TMe
audience showed interest in nearly every
scene Of the play. Its mood was most
coriial after the curtain had fallen for
the last time.
There are OF course Sronuds for crit
iCis!ng the ethics OF the CharaC-
tiers. The wife, 80 soon as she suspected
that her extravaganza and selialness
Mere destroying her husbands pros
perity as well as his peace Of mind,
showed every disposition to change her
course OF life TO accord with his ideas.
Hut he obstinately refused to allow her
to or indeed to do otherwise than ignore
her tendency to do what she could for
him. She was for that reason a much
more appealing character to the audi
eure than her spouse, And she appar-
emily did very little TO deserve the
contempt with which he treated her
after revealing her willingness 10 do
whatever she could to help him. But
for his sweet unreasonableness on this
point, however, there could have been
no play.

MARRIED HEROINE
IN A KENYON PLAY
"Husband and Wife" Seen at
the FOrty-eighth Street
Theatre.
BY AUTHOR OF 'KINDLING'
Husband and wife"-At the Forty
eighth Street Theatre.

Charles Kenyon, who wrote one excel
lent play In "Kindling." IL the author OF
Husband and Wife, which William A.
Brady produced last night at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre. MIR. Kenyon had
a theme in his first play, although II
was not allowed to damage the dramatic
qualities OF his work. There Is also a
theme in his later picce, but the author
has performed his task too well to al
low 1t to dominate the three acts OF his
play.
Enc husband OF the new drama is a
bank cashier in Los Angeles. He has
been SO devoted to the wife OF the title
that from the first days of their mar
riageh he has spoiled her to a degree that
makes her a selfish butterfly and him a
defaulter that her luXuries may be pro-
rided. There is even a worse punish
ment for the husband who introduced
his wife to such extravaganza. He has
cause to suspect that her devotion to
him is not So great as II had been. That
is tho situation in the first act.
The closest friend OF the two is the
State bank examiner. 1t Is he who
brought them together. 1t Is he, more
over. who has stood toward the young
couple in the light OF a friend and ad-
wiser. He has tried TO keep them to-
gether, but he is not able to prevent
the elopement OF the wife with her rich
lover just as her husband is about to
meet the punishment he has brought on
himself The husband to a degree con-
hives at this elopement in order that
the wife may not suffer throush his
trial.
But this purpose Is defeated. since the
detectives who had been watching the
bank cashier mistook him for the fugi-
tive and the two are brought home.
Then the woman discovers to what eX-
tent her selfshness has ruined her hus-
bands life, and the play ends with an
intimation that they will be happy
eventually because the bank examiner
prevents any scandal and the two per-
sons who make the title OF the play
are to start life again.
