But they couldn't understand him. But
when Colonel Roosevelt makes speech,

1t is Rogers who has hazarded the
guess that the Russians will be in the
fight again before long "They're doing
enough rehearsing among themselves. !"
he explains.
One OF the jokes which Rogers intro
duced on the opening night of the Fol.

meeting. Curiously enough, the Joke
never amounted to anything except on
the one night. Since it was impossible
to have the President constantly on
hand, the quip was abandoned in Wash

any particular line. There are come

The Speculator Defended

The following letter has been re-
ceived in response to- Mr.. Broun's in
vitation to send in the spectators
side of the theatre ticket question as
well as the public's:
July ,, 1918.
Having had occasion, as represent
ings of ticket speculation from the
theatres point of view. I have ceased
to be prejudiced against that much be-
rated institution. The public is really
to blame for ticket speculation, if any
blame attaches to any one, as it can
stop the practice over night by simply
refusing to buy from spectators.
You urge that if democracy is broad
enough it should include the provision
that every citizen is equal at the box
Office window. That is to say, ticket
speculation is unconstitutional, or
should be made so. This is good in
theory but in practice the public is
not democratic enough to be satisfied
with equal treatment at the box Office
Each patron wants an aisle seat near
the front, the seats the critics pick
out on opening nights, and if he
doesn't get it there is something rotten
in Denmark
The reason ticket speculation exists
is that there arc so many varying val
ues in a theatre ticket that it is i'm
possible for the theatre to sell the
ticket at its real value. As a ticket
is more valuable to some patrons thar
to others, ticket speculation seeks to
make the box Office really democratic
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07

good show is worth more than a ticke t
to poor one, and GU thai choice
seat is cfoicer than one less choice ;
but theatre cannot discriminate. 1t
must have a standard scale of prices
and stick to it, irrespective of the
merit of the attraction or location Of
the seat, for reasons ] will mention
further on.
The speculator enables a patron to
purchase at the last moment the
choicest seats, for the opening night
or other preferred night, taking the
risk that the patron may not pur-
chase. For this convenience the patron
pays an extra charge to which the
hrst-come, first-served" patron OBJ
Jccts. The position of the latter
therefore, is that no one should be
permitted to purchase at later time
by offering to pay moro than box Of
flee prices. A reserved seat is un-
questionably more valuable just be-
fore the performance than a. week in
advance. The "frst-come, first-served'
patron wishes to destroy that value
or to gain it for himself by reason of
his willingness to go to the inconven-
fence of making early purchases.
Is it not more democratic that any
one should be permitted to nav any
price he wishes for anything he wishes
if others may do the same? If the
late conner pays more, why should not
the owner of the ticket be permitted
to hold it until its price reaches the
highest level? No objection is made
to that course in any other line of
business.

The joke of VII Rogers are fresh

edge Of. craftsmanship is necessary, or
to paragraphing.
His s essentially the newspaper

wide field for subject matter. The
typical Rogers monologue will be made
UP of one or two jokes about the Mayor
the national Administration, a ref

little snatch from the latest speech by
Kuhlmann or some other German
spokesman.
Rogers is at his best when things arc
happening IN the world. AS like as not
the news Of the sx-star absolutely
final final will be reflected in the come
dams monologue that very evening
OF course, the reaction is not always as
uGick as that. Sometimes Rogers will
carry subject around with him for
week or so before 1t crystallizcs into a
joke. 1t is probable that in single
season three or four thousand Jokes
pass through his monologue. And it
must be remembered that he is very
little concerned with the set pieces Of
musical comedy humor. We have fol
lowed Rogers closely for several sea-
sons. and we have yet to hear him say
anything about mothers-in-l law
