Cirrus ended their Canadian tour at St. Thomas, Ontario, on Saturday, June 22, croflslne the border at Windsor, giving two performances at Detroit 24. The trip throughout Cnnada was phe- nomenal In point of attendance. The large cities of Montreal, Ottawa. Toronto, Hamil- ton and London gave extraordinary attend- ance, while the smaller cities crjuaied In at- tendance any of th« cities of the same atee In the United States. In some of the amnllcr plncca the attendance at the matlneea -was very satisfactory. Prom Montreal West each city visited held the day aa n holiday event. The Grand Trunk Hallway handled the Ave large trains from Montreal to Loudon, the Michigan Central transporting them the bal- ance of the trip to Detroit. Wella Hawks, the genial precs agent, atated that the at- tendance throughout Canada wna enormous, ana although Rlngllng Bro*. had not visited t ana da alnce 1004, people lind not forgotteni the excellent circus, and patronized the per- formances very liberally. The police au- thorities were delighted with the manner in which the show was conducted, little or no trouble being caused during the tour. Will. BltOS; NOTES. Mrs, Fred.

Cincinnati turned out two magnificent crowds to greet Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill. The Wild West and Far Bast of Col. Wra. P. Cody and Major Llllle showed at Norwood, five miles from the Queen City. The famous show wns quite as tbrlllful as ever, and a new generation witnessed the famous Indian chase after the old stage-coach. A new ban- ner was carried in the pageant—CM colors of the Woman's Suffrage Party. The In- scription, "Votes for Women," drew many cheers as the banner, carried by Comanches, streamed In the breeze. Buffalo Bill received a splendid personal ovation. The -veteran is a wonder and his Wild West de Iims as big a magnet as ever. A C0MMMIC1M June 20. "Nbw York Clippkb, "Dbab Bibs —I beg to express a strong In* terest in the article, entitled 'Play Pirates,' In your Issue of June 22. As the author of a dozen plays, I know from personal experience that all the outrageous schemes for piracy of plays The Ci.irpxR enumerates ana con- demns, are hard facts. But Tub Cmppcr erra In excusing a manager on the ground of Ignorance. No such excuse holds good In law, and, as a rule, the manager who commits a piracy Is far more knave than fool. Every per- son tn the theatrical profession knows that every manuscript play has on owner. In the case of published plays, when copyrighted, the copyright notice appears on the title page, wanting Intending producers against produc- tions without the formality of a contract. Men and women who engage In other than theatrical businesses hare the plain common sense to learn the lawa and restrictions that govern the trades In wheh they engage. But since adventurers of both sexes, and un- scrupulous riff-raff crowd the theatrical pro- fession, with a contempt for the rights of others, and the same contempt for the law, it Is well that Ignorance Is no excuse for violation, since It Is wilful ignorance)— evasion. The manager who Infringes a copyright, and pleads that he obtained It In good faith, even to the extent of having Said a trifling sum to a bogus claimant, may nd himself charged with a violation, and he Is liable for the full penalties. Tns CLirrnn says that few managers will de- liberately steal a play and produce It. I beg to state that not a few, but many, will not only deliberately steal and produce a play, but they will boast that 'they got away with It.' Of course, these arc willful criminals— criminals by Instinct and choice, and they Steal plays, as professional criminals, Just aa other professional criminals blow a safe. A thief la a thief, whether be steals a play or a thousand dollars. "The greatest damage is done the play owner from the unscrupulous alleged 'play brokers,' a horde of peats, with their cut- throat, knlfc-ln-tbe-back 'business' methods. Anyone, male and female, who can rako up the price of a disk and a fountain pen Is self-labeled a 'ploy broker.' They ac- quire a stock of manuscripts by every foul means at hand—from dishonest directors who take copies of the many plays handed them for production, and dishonest actors, who—especially In stock work—have excel- lent opportunities to become familiar with a freat number of playa, and aclie this oppor- unity to transcribe a good or bad copy. In the case of dramatizations the stealing con- tinues on a wholesale scale, although the present copyright law affords exactly the same protection to a dramatization aa It does of the original compositions. The fake ?ilay broker, dealing In stolen goods; the ake exchange selling manuscripts at an ab- surdly low figure, the director 'with 'scripts,' the stock actor with his trunk filled with stolen plays, and the dishonest manager who esks the privilege of- reading plays only for the purpose of copying the same—thcac are the willful criminals we must reach by means of tho criminal statute, and I strongly urgo every play owner who suffers from the steal- ing of his or her property to Immediately In- voke this statute, it may be well to state In un-lc-gal language Juat what the criminal statute means. It means arrest, charged with a crime, prosecution by the Federal government. The complaint Ib lodged with the United States attorney In the dis- trict having Jurisdiction; this officer will Issue the warrant, which Is served by a United States marshal, or member of the Secret Service. This warrant calls for the apprebenalon of the accused In any part of the United States or possessions, at any hour of tho day or night. The accused—that Is, the prisoner—Is required to furnish cash ball, In lieu of Which be or she will be locked up, pending a hearing. The next step '» arraignment before a Federal magistrate. Next the complaint is taken by the United States Attorney to the Federal Grand Jury, end an Indictment Baked, In the Indict- ment handed down, the accuacd must stand trial In the criminal branch of a United States court Conviction carries with it a very heavy fine for each violation, or Im- prisonment, or both. I sugrmt that the hardened play thief and the intending play thief panae at any stage of these proceedings and ask himself, is the risk, the bitter hu- miliation end the punishment, preferable to paying for the goods he acquires and sells to the public. If It looks like a comedy at the start. It may develop into a tragedy—for him —at the tlnal curtain.
