Theatres Must Not Debar Critics
New York State drama critics are assured of admission to theatres, no matter how " unfavourably" they report performances, under a bill signed on May 1 by Governor Herbert H. Lehman. The new statute makes it unlawful to eject from or refuse admission to a public entertainment to any person over 21 years of age who presents a ticket before the performance _ begins. Democratic Assemblyman Irwin D. Davidson, New York City, sponsor of the measure, said it was designed to "prevent exclusion from theatres of drama critics just because they write unfavourably of performances."
