 What do actors do in their dressing rooms between scenes and acts? No doubt there Is much chatting, reading and loafing but many give meritorious employment to their time in spite Of the example of Edwin Booth "who sat and smoked" Booths dresser was as careful to provide a clean plate and a box of cigars for the dressing table every night as to lay out, costumes and grease paints. When he was called for a scene, Booth would lay his cigar on the rim of the plate. It is said that when he had finished performance or Hamlet he had lined the edge of the nlate with cigar stumps. It Is believed that in the seclusion of his dressing room Richard Mansfield has for several years been at work on a volume of essays promised by a venerable firm of publishers. Ezra Kendall writes joke hooks between the acts. Tim Murphy derives a handsome income from his versihcation and his clever sketches for advertisers. Fay Templeton composes her own songs. Adelaide Thruston ,nrsues her hobby which is language study. Viola Allen always has piece of lace work in the dressing room with her. Julia Marlowe makes a reception room of the stage and thus doubles work and society.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
~Darkest Rus.ia.-Thur.day

Nothing for some time past has awakened among the theatregoing masses so great an absorbing dramatic interest as the forthcoming production of Darkest Russia" play which while long and favorabIy known to those who relish a melodrama of un- doubted quality, comes in the nature of a genuine surprise owing to certain elaborations of details given so as to make its revival a potent factor in this seasons amusment affairs. The stage setting being noteworthy examples of scenic art, while the furnishings and other essentials equipment are entitled to no little commendation.
 From the first act which discloses a faithful reproduction of the famous Xremlin Palace, with all the splendor of the Byzantine. ornamentation, down through a number of picturesque sur roundings until the final scene which takes place in Siberia, thus affording a somewhat wide scope of scenic investi- ture.
 All of these features are of suffi- cient import while the war Is in pro- gress to add materially to a play which has in times past been such a mighty power among modern melodra- mas of unqualified worth to patronize In a word nothing has been neglected in order to give solid color to the bril- liant revival of a reputable stage pre- sentation. The cast in particular be- ing one of extraordinarily excellence and containing such names Eva Mountford. a most distinguished actress, who impersonates the character of Ida. Elmer Grandin as Imperial Cour- rier of the Cza, Mai Estelle and near ly full score of others quite as well known to those who recall their for mer endeayors. Darkest Russia. comes to the Montgomery Theatre next Thursday night.

Three years ago when Datas was a stoker Ia the Lon- don gas works. he received $42 for six weeks work. Quite a contrast be- tween that sum and ss.oo0 for his past six weeks in America. with first class passage between London and New York on the side. This too. Is a strong ob- ject lesson in the phenomenal advance in salaries of players and entertainers recorded during the past eight years.

The Sunday closing law has not

FORCE LABoRERs TO WITHDRAW
Master Builders Lock Out Union Men
or Failure to Obey Orders.

SPOKANE. Jan. 21.-The master
builders have made good their threat
that unless the building labOrers with
draw from the building trades council
they would not be employed by any
members Of the association. The mas
ters have locked out the union men on
a number of buildings. A communi-
cation was sent to the union, shortly
before Christmas, stating the position
of the master builders. The union laid
the communication on the table and
vouchsafed no answer. The assocla-
ton waited. and at a meeting week
ago Saturday night decided to lock
out the union building labOrers. This
action was commenced last Monday,
and during the week the union men
have been laid off on nearly all or the
big buildings. The buildings on which
the men were laid off are the Sher-
wood, the White. the S. A. A. c. and
a number of small residences being
built by the master builders. 1t IS
estimated that about fifty men We're
thrown out Of work by this step.
No action has been taken by the
Building Trades council to combat the
action OF the master builders. The
matter will come up at the meeting
tomorrow evening. No t0n1fnunica ton
toward settlement have passed be-
tween the union and the master build
ers. 1t is expected the building trades
council will take some decided action
on the matter tomorrow evening. 1t
may call a sympathetic strike to sup
port the building laborers. The be-
lief is in labor circles that if the
building laborers are compelled to-
withdraw from the building trades
council the other unions affiliated will
be compelled to do the same thing.
