against any violation of the terms of the fran- chise contract. It authorizes the booking of- fice to sign contracts in the name of the theatre, to use its judgment in selecting talent, and cus- tomarily establishes a certain limit of cost for the average bill or week. It is usual and justifiable for the booking office to make a charge for its service. The amount of this charge varies, depending upon the size of the city and theatre, the class of at- tractions, and other considerations. Until it has been made sure, by personal in- vestigation, that a strong booking affiliation can be made, and a definite contract providing therefor has been entered into, it is not wise to build a theatre. If the theatre is already built, and has per- haps been in operation, but it is now proposed to change the policy or present booking afiilia- tion, the author would again impress upon his reader the necessity for exercising the best pos- sible judgment in selecting the service to be used.
