TO LOWER RATES r The Theatrical Managers' Protective Asso- ciation, at.a meetinp'held recently in New York, passed 'resolutions to call a meeting of representatives from all branches of the busi- ness' to formulate a plan of counteracting the increased fares and baggage car rates adojii^d by the local railroads east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio. It is claimed that these rates are exorbitant. If the railroads do not heed the protest, formal proceedings will be started with the Interstate Commerce Commission in the proper way to cause that body to take action. REISENWEBER'S FINED, John Wagner, of Reisenweber's Restaurant, New 'York, was fined $50 in West Side Court, June 12, for presenting a theatrical revue, "Too Much Mustard," without a license. Simi- lar fines for that offense were imposed last week on Rector's and Wallick's. George Martin, attorney for Reisenweber's, asserted the restaurant did not present the production on a stage. Magistrate Krotel . ruled the show was a theatrical production because the actors and chorus members changed costumes several times. George H.. Bell, commissioner of licenses, has secured this and other convictions. »■ » PICTURES AT PHILA.'S LITTLE. The Little Theatre; Philadelphia, will open with pictures, June 21.
