Now that the season is beginning to open up, the sttention of the public is once more called to the prevalence of the very high price charged for admission to the Chicago theatres. Previous to tho War the theatres fiourished opon receipts from one-third to one-half the pressot, and thestrical business was never beiter. During the War the price of amusement, like that of eversthing elss, went up to a prepostcrous figure. In pearly every other braogh of business a great reduction has been made. In the theat- rical economy aimost alone have War prices been sdhered to. Theyare too high for aoy times, and for hard timea preposterously £o. Mans- gers are recklessly charging $1.50 and §1.25 for seuts in the most desirabie parts of the theatra duriog the performance of regular yiecss, or in the stock season where no particu- Jar attraction bolds the boards. The momeut en improvement is made in the performsnce. instantly 25 or 50 cents bonus is tacked oo to tbhe already exorbitant charge. It is not astonishing that dmiog last season the rale at pvery theatra in the city was a meagre aitend- mocs, and the ezoeption s good one. It is estonishing that anvbody will consent to pay the sdditional fee wheoever s mansger thinks be can callect it. The theatres in Chicsgo are coming again into g:efl: eharp competition. There wiil, 13 few s, be Eix in operstion, two of them—the Museum and Adelphi—with reduced prices of sdmission; Alr. McVicker's two theatres, Hopley's, and the Acsdemy af Music still adhering to War rates 1t is very evident tiat sume of these places wul close, just as some of tbem did last geason, for wanc'of pstronage, and it is not probable that the low-priced honses will bo the sufferers,—pro- vided, of conrse, they give & fair entertainmant. Another element of competition has just found its way into theatrical affairs, an element highly disastrous to the maoagers of ail places of smasement. 1t18 the beer-hsil, with maoeical accompsniments. There ara dozens of these es- teblishments in the city of the better type, sod scores of second-clazs imitations. Theso all live us ing public, and the dratt \gllsb wm;““nfi w-exormous. It is nse- e beer-] equenters are pEopIe er- grade of eociety, [:nd_seek nmns%mgnz g:g};'e’. canee there is more life, more enjoyment, .% 3 —lesy vapenso. \What are the theatres goib Gostoutits The misersble attendance st tnres of iliem last week gives ciophasis to the inquiry. The. Adelphi has recently gone back to high Pprir:es, and its business has becn very bad. It nesds some nerve to chérge high prices for a 6,00 entertainment; it requires *cheek™ of t)1e most impenetrable character to raise them Sor s poor oe. The latter is an abundsat pos- “ession of the Adelphi mauagers. The public will do well to take this matter of the- atrical prices up at once, and regulate them. It should fix the maximum figure for dramalic entartainments a¢ 75 cents, au fuso to submit to any extortionate increase for any star or combination. Few of them nowadays are worth as much, and from present sppear- ances Chicsgo, this sesson, will not eee msoy performances worth balf the sum per capita. Managers have decided upon palming off very inferior entertsinments; secoad-cless compan- ics, woarisome hackneyed stars, and plays des- titute alike of noveity and merit. Let them come down to second-cinss prices of admission. THE THEATRES. ‘Business has been baa during the week,—very Ught even for the end of Angust. Jobn Dillon, ¢ Hooley's, alone seemod to catch the popular breeze, which bas set for him since his return. Edwiz Adams played to houses much lighter than he shonld have bad ; the new Chicago The- tre wore & very discouraged look of emptiness, sod the Adelphi was hot and deserted.

Mr. Jewect has been identified with music 80 many yeara 1o this city that hus death will al- most seem like a personal loss by our musicians.

An Eastorn paperasys: Far several months past thare have been in circuls- #ion panful rumors respecting the musical progress of Aliss Emma Abhott, the charming song-child who went to Europs some years eince to complete her siudies, It was stated, and tho story nally gained publicity through 80 res, table & source us 4 ppletons’ Journal, that Maplesan, the manager to whoia the iady was nnder engagement to appear in Londan, bsd pronounced er voico & failure, and had declined to “produce” her.

Whep ber volcoand method were. tested in es- cociation with others who were to sing with her, it be- came apparent that she had received some impressions and mannerisms of the Parisiun schools which Mr. ipleson and other competent judges thought would not be approved by ths pecwiar taste of London su- diences, and the managez suggested, with the entira concurrence of liss ADbott aud ber fiiends, that her obut bo little deferred toafford her an_opportunity to correct the ercors f method referred to, This was done. Miss Abbott on that occasion renewed ber sp- peal and-offer for a release, and again Mr. Mapleson promptly declined it.
