Although Mr. Harria heads Managers’ organization, he explained that he acted only for himself in making the reductions, but he voiced the hope that other managers soon would take similar action, “Beginning to-morrow, night,” Mr. Harris said, “a $2.50 scale hi the Monday prices for the immediate future, but the action of the Bhuberts in placing Umit on tickets for their 8 in Boston last week, and a, al reduction in prices in the t theatres th Chicago recently, are regarded a# pointing to a reduc- tion in all theatres at an early date. “BOWERY BURLESQUERS” AT COLUMBIA THEATRE. of prices will fixed’ for my| Joe Hurtig brings his “Bowery New York productlons—Welcomo | Hturiesquers* to the Columbia Then- nger,’ at the Cohan arris . b Theatre, ‘Little Old New York, at|‘*% Presenting a two-act travest the Plymouth, and Grant Mitshell | called “Going Up and Coming Down.” in “the Champion,” at the LongAcre. The reduction will go right down the line until tt affects the lowest priced balcony seat. In the case of an at- traction playing to capacity audi- ences at a $3 scale this will mean a reduction of $8,000 from the total weekly receipts, “The reduction which I am tnauqu- rating is not the result of a lowering of the cost of producing, As a mat- ter of, fact, I doubt whether there is any line of business except that of the theatrical producer that has re- mained entirely unaffected by the prevailing tendency to reduce costs of production, The outlay now 1s measurably greater than at any « : gi time in the entire history of the Pree tan betta ult theatre.” 6.
