ACTING RIGHTS.
NOTICE.—The attention of those who take part in or organise dramatic representations should be called to the law on copyright. All representations of copyright dramatic works are liable to fees, if either money or consideration be taken for admission, tickets sold, a collection made, or where any theatre, hall, or other place be hired for such purpose. It is absolutely necessary that the fees for plays should be paid in advance and an authorised permission obtained, otherwise each person taking part, or causing such play to be represented, is severally liable to a penalty or damages, under 3rd and 4th William IV., c. 15, sec. 2. By means of the telegraph, injunctions can be obtained to restrain performances, which, if ignored, would lead to the imprisonment of the offenders. Agents are appointed in all parts of the kingdom, and are authorised to collect fees on behalf of the various authors or proprietors, and are empowered to exact full penalties where fees have not been paid in advance. It is not necessary to have a printed notice on a play to the effect that it is copyright, although this is done in many instances. To save useless correspondence it must be strictly understood that no reduction can be made on account of a performance taking place for the benefit of a charity, or any other cause whatever. Any information on this subject can be obtained by sending a stamped directed envelope to SAMUEL FRENCH, Ltd., 26, Southampton Street, Strand, London. Fees on the plays which S. French, Ltd., collects for must be paid by P.O.O. or cheque to the above address, or the authorised Agents.
