Brady has placed in a prominent position over the box of fices of his two tfceaters, the Play house and the Forty-eighth Street, signs reading: 'This theater sells its tickets at regular box office prices. The new law just enacted prohibits ticket brokers from charging over 50 cents advance on any ticket. Those overcharging are subject to arrest and imprisonment. The manage ment of this theater will thank you if you will report any violation of the law.' Mr. Brady was one of the managers who heartily supported and worked for the passage of the Williams-Kilroe ordinance, which has just been enacted into law, and is designed to curb all speculation in theater tickets." It would be interesting to know how many seats below the 14th row can be bought at any given time at one of Mr. Brady's houses. A complete change of program greets Empress patrons today with two feature acts headlining. "Ex travagance is heralded as a gem of dramatic comedy both in con struction and presentation. The cast includes Phyllis Gilmore, Victor Browne and Ferdinand Tidmarsh. The May Bell Trio, three pretty young women, have a singing, violin and piano offering. Nadell and Follette introduce songs and talk of a light comedy nature. Van and Belle complete the program with an exhibition of -boomerang throwing. "Who wants to hear that high brow stuff?" Vaudeville patrons are likely to ask such a question, when they hear grand opera selections; but popular taste as well as the taste of exacting music-lovers is pleased this week by the singing of the dis tinguished vocalists, Agnes Berri and Irene Jonani, who are offering one of the stellar acts this week at the Orpbeum. Another lofty plane of artistic merit is achieved by the winsome comedienne, Grace Dunbar Nile who is appearing in the leading role of the one-act comedy, "Petti coats." The double and daily perform ances of "The Unmarried Mother" at the. Boyd are proving very popular this week, the really interesting play being shown at moderate prices to steadily increasing attendance. It is a melodrama that frankly discusses a topic of great importance. While the interest of delegates to the State Hardware Dealers' con vention is naturally focused on the absprbing display at the Auditorium every morning and afternoon, there's no denial of the fact that their evening sessions are held at the Gayety theater where Dan Cole man and the Harry Hastings show are playing to all the folks the theater will hold twice daily. Mr. Coleman's timely song, "After the First of July," continues to sweep all before it, positively stopping the show at every performance. Ladies' matinee daily at 2:15.
