to gravitate aslant in the theatrical world,

None of the more prominent actors in

ons Of warfare to be used in properly
resenting inpositions and encroachments
on their rights by men who run the
playhouses. They refused to commit
themselves to any part in plan for de

prietors. Several of the most prominent
actors on the stage have been named as
among those who have given countenance
to the actors self-defence union. Some
of these are Stuart Robson, Fanny Da-

and Sol Smith Russell. Denials by or in
the name of most of these have been
made of any intention or desire to precip-

control the theatres.
1t is not denied, however, that the the
