Brady, who la directing Miaa George'a

month! and so well pleased waa ha with
Tier ancceaa that while there ha arranged
to submit to English audlencta for their
approval, aome of his attraction which
had found favor in the United States.
j"Wy Down East" will be one of the
offerings sent over and Robert Mantel
later will be given an opportunity to ap
pear In aome Shakesperlan roles from
his repertoire. . In making his plana for
entering Into the London field, Mr.
Brady had an opportunity to contrast
the methods obtaining there with the
ones he Is so familiar with In this country-
That he Is determined to become
a factor In English theatricals Is fur
ther evinced by the contracts he made
for Miss George's appearance again in
London next season. His observations
as follows, are quite interesting:
1 "In their Interior arrangements and
service," aaid Mr. Brady, "even the new
est of the London theatres have disad
vantages that seem strange to Amer
icana. The cost of admission to the
first-class housea is more than in this
feountry, but the conveniences, without
reference to the play Itself, are far
from commensurate with the Increased
expense. The scale of prices In the
west end theatres,, reduoed to American
tourrency, libout aa follows: Stalls
or orchestra sfats. $2.62; front seats in
jthe circle. $1.80; back rows of the ctr
fcle, f 1.44: upper crlcle, eenta: pit 0
rents; gallery 14 cents. Thus the best
eats coat more than the corresponding

rate for the cheaper seats la a little

These take the reserved seat coupons

$500 weekly. In the case of the music

It often pays all the running expenses of f
such playhouses, excepting of course the
stage. The proprietors of the bars also
control the program privileges and pay
the ushers, and they likewise are re
sponsible for the pouring of tea and the
sale of candles between the acts.
"Many managers would prefer to sup
ply their patrons with programs free of
charge, but the system Is so well es

such tenacity to the program privileges,

theatres were originally built below the
