TOO HIGH A RENT.
Mr Oscar Asche, who was born in Sydney. aspires to bring English prices for seats down to something like th? Australian standard. He is arranging for a ' iieatre in which ra.es will range from a chilling to six shillings, with a few sta Is at 7s 6d. At present it is imposs.ble to get a sta.l in any decent theatre at less than 10s 6d. so that two seats break two sovereigns,. The trouble arises mainly from high rents. Mr Asche pays X 375 a week for His Majesty’s, and it is impossible to get any London theatre with a reputation at less than a week.
