TICKET SELLER
LEAVES FORTUNE
Joe LEBLANC, Father of Cut
Rate Theater Seats, Rated
Multi Millionaire.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 18.-Joe LEBLANC,
who built a million dollar fortune
upon the discovery that the law of sup
ply and demand worked both ways in
the theater ticket business. died yester-
day.
The father of cut-rate seats, who
came from Budapest to Broadway by
way of a cigar store and lived to own
an entire block at the crossroads of
the world, expired at 81 after a Winter
of i'll health.
Years ago. as a tobacconist dabbling
in any side line which promised an ex-
ira penny, he pondered thoughtfully
the circumstance that people would pay
brokers premiums of SO cents TO SIS for
seats to Broadway hits.
If demand sent the price of theater
seats up. he reasoned, why should not
lack Of demand bring it down.
Bought Up Passes.
Joe bicycled around town. buying up
and selling at half price theater passes
which producers gave BARRIERS. saloon
keepers and others in return for placing
advertising placards in windows. Finally
he persuaded the producer to a mildly
popular show that it would be better
business for him to fill his house at
the seats filled at 50 seat
Joe bought at a bargain the seats
which were empty night after night and
set himself up in Broadway basement
tc sell them cheap. charging a 10-cent
commission. Lots Of people who couldn't
afford So seats were satisfied TO see a
less popular show at SO per cent saw

Gray's demonstrating its name
from the drug store overhead at Forty
third and Broadway-became one of the
sights of the town, to be seen along
with the Statue of Liberty and Grants
tomb. Just before theaier time nightly
IL is a swarming mass OF shoppers for
theater tickets, with a dozen ticket
statesmen hawking their wares like side
snow barkers.
On any night the ticket shopper has
plus that 10 cents IL ticket, which
earned him his fortune
Entrenched in the eut-rate business,
Joe opened another brokerage office
upstairs, where he charged larger
premiums for more popular shows, and
a third where he charge fancy pre-
miums for seats to smash hits. But the
cut-rate ticket business made LEBLANC s
reputation and most of his fortune
And the Broadway adage applied to
many mediocre show was

But for Leblang's cut-rate succor

was failing, and Joe took over half its
seats and put them on sale at his cut
rate agency. The play turned into a
hit and ran on Broadway for six years.

CONTINUE HOP

WENATCHEE, Wash, Oct. 8. [R)
Out Of the terrors OF their his

rest today for Clyde Pangborn and
Hugh Herndon, Jr.
Wenatchee and the state OF

heretofore unheard-of pains 70
shower two aviators with comfort.
Townspeople raised a purse OF $500
to provide the fliers spending
money.
Pair Penniless
Pangborn and Herndon were
here yesterday morning to complete
their 4.877 mile flight from Samu-
shire Beach, Japan. Before the
first cheers hal died away, a rep
resentative of the Tokyo news
paper Asahi handed them an order
emitting them TO SIS 900 prize
money which long lad been posted
by that periodical for the first
nonstop airplane flight ! tween
Japan and the United States.
But the SIS. 900 order didn't pro-
vide any immediate spending
money and the collection was taken
up to take care Of that situation.
Wenatchee staged a spontaneous
celebration. From its 5000 per-
sons. about 10000 collected TO make
the filters welcome.
Attend Banquet
This morning the filters were e.
lowed TO sleep late, but were called
on TO 60 TO a neighboring town for
a luncheon and a community ban
quet.
Behind all the felicity, however,
there was the indehble memory OF
what might have happened had
they not outflown the hazards that
beset them.
Herndon said he and his COM
panion expected to remain here
about a week.
Informed Col. w. z. Easterwood
Of Dallas, Tex, would not pay them
$4,000 for continuing the flight 10
Texas. as they had hoped. they
tentatively planned TO fly to New
York, with several stops en- route.
