THEATRICAL RATES.-
TOURING COMPANIES.
WILL PRICES ARYANCE?
Our London correspondent sounds 1 note on the question of theatrical rates charged in the Far Fast which we have been expecting for some dime past, namely, that they will in all probability have to be advanced, ays the N. C. D. News, And this is "oot so much for the purpose of ex- tracting greater profit from the tour-
ing ventures, from which we in the East derive so much pleasure as to make ends meet. Those who have repeatedly visited the Far East, tour. ing India, the Strait's Settlements and China know what an exceedingly precarious business it is at the best of times, how every cent has to be carefully watched, every sinall econo omy made, how theatre bookings and passages have to be fitted in so as to give the company the smallest possi i ble amount of idle time, for even though most theatrical contracts were based on the principle of "no play no pay," too nights," made the artiste as restive as those financially responsible for the success of the undertaking.

Tempest failed, as it is reported to have a company as that of Miss Marie done, to make the tour a financial success, for the result cannot but create an unfortunate impression upon the minds of others contem- plating coming out East. On the question of whether the theatre- going public of Shanghai can stand an increase of say one-third in the prices Facashui and Wuchow... at present charged there can be but Saigon little doubt. We venture to think Shanghai, North China and Japen that Shanghai would pay it willingly rather than see a falling off in the number of theatrical companies that visit us each year, and while we do not at present suggest that rates should be increased, some one else appears likely to do so in the not far distant future.
