Samuel French Inc.

Samuel French Inc. is named in the publication’s rights notice as the point of contact for stock and amateur performance applications and specified related rights. Its role in the notice is practical and narrowly defined: it directs applicants where to seek permission and when to do so.

Role in the Rights Notice

The notice states that the covered plays are subject to royalty and that performance and other listed rights are reserved. Within that framework, Samuel French Inc. handles applications from stock and amateur groups. The text does not describe the company’s wider publishing or theatrical activities, so its documented function here is the administration of these requests.

Application Requirements

Applicants must contact Samuel French Inc. in advance, before rehearsals begin. The notice gives the company’s address as 45 West 25th Street, New York, NY 10010, making the permission process explicit in both timing and destination.

Division of Responsibilities

The notice distinguishes these applications from first-class professional applications, which are directed to Georges Borchardt at a separate New York address. Samuel French Inc. is therefore assigned the stock and amateur route, rather than presented as the contact for every performance category.
