the same success.
II there is any field OF effort In the
world In which there is more legalized
and tricky dishonesty than In the
show business, have yet TO hear OF II.
Take, for instance, the contracts
signed between actor and manager. II
the former Is sick or Is unable to play,
he loses his salary during the time Of
his absence. II, on the other hand for
any unavoidable reason, or merely as
the result OF within or quarrel, the
manager falls to fill an engagement for
which he Is booked, the actor again
loses his salary. In the average COM
pany, which plays eight times a week.
II performer is absent from one per-
formance he loses one-seventh of his
salary, and In some organizations even
one-sixth. For extra performances the
actor gets nothing, but II he misses
one the pro rata is taken out OF his
salary. The manager always reserves
the right In his contract TO lay the
company off without salary during the
week before Christmas as well as dur
ing Holy week and further stlpulates
that In case he should elect TO play Ell.
Their or both OF those weeks the actor
shall be content with half salary. The
system Of permitting fines to be i'm
posed by irresponsible, so called stage
managers Is another OF the iniustices
OF the profession. There is nothing to
regulate the amount OF the fine except
1 the temporary mood OF this autocrat
and his feeling toward the offending in
I diyidual.

would be an end OF this petty injustice.

Miss Florence Rockwell as Mistress
Wilbur, the afllanced Of the vagabond
poet, was excellent. The many admir-

fear that she would never live up to
the promise OF her early work. She

which seriously detracted from the
artistic effect OF her reading. As Mis-
tress Wilbur she has dropped all these.
and the effect is TO Increase the force
and charm OF her work tenfold. The

Mr.. Miller needs to insure success Is a
