Show Encores C. O. D. Only. An Italian impresario has discovered a way out of the "encore" difficulty that is not open to the objections made to Mr. Hermann Vezin's proposal that they should be forbidden by the publio authorities. The impresario in question controls a small operatic theater in Milan, Mi-lan, and ha has absolutely forbidden his singers to repeat any of their songs, but at the same time he has placed the following fol-lowing notice in the vestibules: "Those persons who wish for a repetition of any numbers from the opera, or of any part of the ballet dancing, are begged ; to hand in their names at the box office. At tne end of the performance they will enjoy the encores demanded on paying for their seats over again." Since this measure was first adopted no one has availed himself of the privilege thus granted, and the performances have not been interrupted by demands for encores. en-cores. London News. |
