THEATER MEN HIT
TICKET SALE CURB
Witnesses Before House Sub.
committee Say Proposed
REGULATIONS Not Needed.

Harry Crandall and Roland S. Rob-
bins. manager of Keith's Theater,
were witnesses today before spe-
cial subcommittee Of the House Dis
trct committee inquiring into the
proposed regulation Of price Of ad-
mission to theaters in the District and
regulations to safeguard the lives of
theater patrons.
Representative Wheeler of Illinois
is chairman of the subcommittee, which
will hold further hearings tomorrow,
after which the subcommittee Will
make it's report to the House District
committee.
Oppose Sale Regulation.
The contention of the theater man
ayers was that the proposal to regu-
late the sale of admission tickets TO
the actual seating capacity of the
house was unnecessary and that ex-
listing regulations cover all that the
legislation proposes.
The witnesses argued that it was
fallacy to handle this matter OF seat
ing theater patrons through legisla-
ton.
I'VE try to do it now and can do it
best when we are not hampered by
set Of rules" they told the committee.
They pointed out that it is their aim
to safeguard the public. because in
doing SO they safeguard themselves.
They said this was the policy of all
the theaters and motion picture
houses in the National Capital.
Invited to Inspect.
The members Of the subcommittee
and members of the full District COM
mittee were invited to make an in
spection Of the theaters with view
to finding out for themselves exactly
how the question Of overcroWding is
being handled under existing regula-
tions.
The subcommittee had under consid-
GRAFTON = NIL introduced by Repre-
tentative Wheeler. but the various
their best thought on the subject SO
as to get the most efficacious legisla-
tion.
" New Bill introduced.
Representative Woodruff of Mich
igan, a member of the District COM
mittee. today introduced another bill
regulating and restricting the sale
of tickets at public amusement per-
formances. including theaters. motion
picture houses and hail games. The
woodruff bill proposes 30 limit the
sale Of tickets TO the seating ca apacity.
and then would allow the owner or
manager to sell stan,ling room tickets.
with the privilege of taking a vacated
seat. the price of the standing room
ticket to he 10 per cent less than
the regular price.
The bill authorizes the District
Commissioners on the grounds of pub
lie health and safety to regulate the
seating capacity of any amusement
place. the manner of ventilation. num-
Der of ushers required. fire protection
