" ROSE MARIE " PROFITS.
Drury Lane Theatre is such a popular institution that others besides the shareholders will rejoice in the good fortune which has befallen it in the matter of profits arising from its latest production. After a run of ill fortune, with no dividend
for three years, there was an improvement a year ago when a dividend Of 5 per cent. was announced. Now, hniviVer, thanks to the huge profits made out of the run of Rose Marie, the directors are able to declare 10 per cent., with a bonus of 21 per cent. Moreover, the position is even better than indicated in the dividend, for the profits amounted to 149,000 against only £6,847 a year ago. A sum of £20,000 has now been added to the Reserve and £6,000 set aside for income tax, leaving £13,460 to be carried forward against £6,074 a year ago. As a result of this successful piece, therefore, the company is once more restored to a position of prosperity.
