IMPORTANT TO PROPRIETORS OF THEATRES, THEATRICAL MANAGERS AND AGEXI&. / Hon.Oeo.WPeck j (EXOOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN AMD AUTHOR OF "PECK'S BAD BOY.") HOWE A HUMMEL, Counsel, MeW OI ' BOSTON, July 11OT3. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: All theatrical managers, agenta and proprietors of theatres throughout the connlry are hereby respectfully noilflcd that I am the owner, and have been for many years, of the real and only farce comedy knewn ai "Peck's BBd Boy," authorized by HON. GEORGE W. PECK, ex-Governorof Wisconsin,the world-famoua humorist and author of the cele- brated work on which the play Is founded, and that I have granted to the following persons ex- clusive territorial licenses as therein get forth to book, advertise and play said comedy, viz: To L. M. HEATH, of No. 8 Beach Street, Boston, Mass., a license for the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jereey, Penn- sylvania. Ohio and Indiana, and also for Canada, cast of the ninetieth degree (90") of longitude, and for the season of 1903-1904, commencing on Sep- tember 14, 1903, and ending on May 7, 1904. (MR. OEORliE W. HEATH, of Boston, for many years past a inccessful manager of Peck's Bad Boy companies, duly licensed by me, is manager for L. M. Heath). To LEROY J. FRENCH, proprietor of French's Opera House, Hyde Park, Mass., a license for the States of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kan- sas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan, for the season or llaM-MOl, commencing on September 7, 1(K)3, and ending on May 7,1904. Mr. French' haa also been licensed by me tor a Summer season In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Prince Edward's Island and New Foundland, commencing on June 1, 1903, and ending on September 6,1908. and one of bis "Northern" companies Is now playing In that territory to excellent business. To CHARLES F. BROTHERTON, of the "Audi- torium," Ashtabula, Ohio, a license for the Dis- trict of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Caro- lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis- sippi, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Okiohoma, Indian Territory, New Mexico and Arizona, for the season of 1903-1904, commencing on sept. 1,1908. and ending on April 30,1904. ' The above licensees are now organizing and booking ror their respective territories six first class companies, the largest and best, I am as- sured, that ever played the piece. There will be new people, new features, new acts, songs, dances, etc., and plenty ot new and elegant advertising material. The genuine Peck's Bad Boy comprises In Its cast nine star parts In addition to the minor pans. viz.: SOHDLTZ, the Dutch grocery man; HENRY PECRjlhe bad boy; MINNIE, Ills best girl; JIMMY DCFFT, his chum; PUFFY, the Irish policeman; LIZZIE, the servant girl: the DOCTOR. MAJOR PECK and MRS. PECK. These are all very strong character parts, and are original In this romedv, Aud as substantially all managers and proprietors of theatres throughout the United States and Can- ada arc familiar with them, and also with the act*, text, icenss, situations, properties anuloiber features peculiar to said play, there ran be no good or valid exouse or reason whatever on the part of any manager tor Infringing my rights by booking, advertising or playing an unauthorized version or Imitation or said comedy. Peak's Bad Boy is universally conceded in be, by tar, the brightest, runniest and moat success- ful fare, comedv of lis class ever written. No oilier, with -perhaps one exception, has been plaved to so many millions of people, produced so much merriment, or given more perfect satlataC- tlou to both managers and the public. For the above reasons this play has sometimes bee, the prey of certain unprincipled parties known t,o the profession as "pirates," who "live liability of trouble, costs and heavy damages, are respectfully cautioned, ID applying for s copyright for a play the appli- cant In his petition furnishes the natncnriiiitct play for which be seeks a copyright, and allno* that be Is either the author or owner of the sane On the receipt or the application at the Copyrlitji Office with a fee of one dollar, the name or un. an lurnlahed Is generally filed or registered n once, and acertlrtoau to that effect sent to if,. applicant, no examination or search, la sn<-h , case, being made to ascertain whether the mat name or title had previously iicen filed or reib- tered by smother party, or whether the applicint was either the author or owner as alleged, i?u procedure being rendered necessary by the e»>.r mous number or titles on file and the low fee; charged by the office. 1 have been informed that by taking advanute of Ibis state of things, some persons, without nr knowledge or consent, hsve recently applied fer and claims to have obtained a copyright for a piar lo which he gave the name of "Peck's Bad Bet,'' notwithstanding the fact lhat the same name wh filed or registered in the Copyright Office row? years ago, and that the popular farce coaenyof that name has been almost constantly before the public ever since. The object In obtaining a copyright as stated, if one was obtained. Is too apparent to need « planatlon, and it Is believed that very few, If tsr, responsible managers will he deceived therelii should It prove to be true, or take any chance, in that regard. The Copyright Office Is merely an ofltrc of rriwii. and the Librarian of Congress In granting a rest right does not thereby settle the question either of lis priority or validity, nor anything relallru to Infringements, these matters being left entirely t» the courts. The common law furnishes ample protection to the owners of dramatic compositions or plays, the protection under It Irelng considered br manr pin Terable In all respects lo copyright protection.
