Article on Maretzek raising price of reserved seats to two dollars.  “Hereafter the audiences must pay a little—and a very little—dearer for their whistle.  Of course, this is all right and proper.  Everything has been raised except opera, and now it is quite time that this luxury should cost us more.”
