NEW YORK THEATERS
SEEK SILVER COINS
Shortage Makes 1t Difficult for Boz
Office Men to Return Proper
Change.

NEW YORK, Dec 5.-The silver
coin shortage Is becoming a serious
embarrassment to theatrical man
ayers here, and probably viii become
worse IL the price of the metal con-
tinues to climb. Current raises give
the silver in a hard" dollar the actual
value Of S1.os.
The average daily requirements OF
a Broadway box office are for $500 In
silver coins, but bankers no longer
are able to meet requests for this
change. because, they say, the Treas
ury has cut down the supply to them.
So the theater men are lurkin 9
around the car barns to catch the
silver turned in by conductors.
1t soon may be necessary to ask
theatergoers to bring the correct
change to the boxoffice.
The shortage occurs at time when
more change Is needed than ever be-
fore In former years large bills
were comparatively few, but owing to
the prosperity OF laborers this year
they are attending the shows regu-
larly and cracking" big notes to pay
for their seats.
