CHAT ABOUT PLAYS
AND MOVEMENTS ON
AND OFF THE STAGE

The Theater Magazine for June is an
admirable midsummer number and
filled with interesting reading matter
and attractive pictures. One of the
leading features is an article entitled
"The Actress in Her Automobile, Z"
which shows how popular the new,
seIf-moving vehicle has become with
the people of the stage. 1t is illustrated
with pictures taken especially for the
magazine, showing Julia Marlowe,
Maxine Elliott, Virginia Harmed, Marie
Cahill, Hattie Williams and other stage
favorites driving their own machines.
The interview of the month is with
Arnold Daily, once an office boy in
Charles Frohman's employ. and now an
established and successful theatrical
star. A veteran manager contributes
interesting "reminiscences of Lola Mon
tez, that remarkable actress and ad-
ventures who for a time ruled over a
kingdom, and there is a full account
with pictures of Otis SINNERS new
play. "The Harvester" The prominent
children of the stage are pictured in
a page of beautiful portraits, and Alex
ander Hume Ford gives characteristic
anecdotes of each little player. Wells
Hawks continues his instructive papers
on How Theaters Are Managed" this
months installment being devoted to
the bill poster. There is also an inter
esting account, by f. P. Delgado, of
the famous open-air theaters of
France. w. w. Whitelock discusses
recent noteworthy German plays, and
Cecil Cavendish dedicates a poem to
"The Man Behind the Play" In this
issue also Julia Wemple reaches the

fessions of a Stage Struck Girl" The
pictures include, in addition to- a su-

Midsummer Nights Dream" on the
cover. a full-page portrait of the new

Cost OF Government Cabling.

the Philippine government in the
present war crisis at an expense of
$500. Washington officials endeavored
to boil 1t down for transmission, but
couldn't do It. The Press could have
sent a "blue-Dencil fiend" TO do the
job. and he would have saved the

in helping Mr.. Fiske to open theaters
that were not already independent, as
two attractions in such case are
really no better than one; and after
many consultations with Mr. Fiske.
for whom I have the warmest and
strongest personal regard, we agreed
that the Independent Booking Agency
had outlived it's usefulness and there
fore the time was ripe for its dissO-
luton, which will take place shortly.
Il have devoted over two years, and
the independent cause; have spent
much time and much money and an
enormous amount Of energy I re-

do not believe any more to-day than

cate control of theatrical affairs is bene-
fetal to the artistic growth and de-
VelOpment of the drama in any
country, but 1 must say that the syn
dicate's attitude toward a defeated
foe in my case, at least, has been gen.
erOus and fair.
1T must not be supposed that the In
dependent Booking Agency has labored
in vain. 1t has had, in many instances,
a decided remedial effect: but 1 am
sorry to say that I have discovered
that the very men who would have
benefited most by the success Of the
Independent cause and who would
naturally have been supposed to ally
themselves with it after the pioneer
work had been done. have utilized it
for selfish ends, while giving it no
substantial encouragement In other
words, they have benefited by it
without helping it or even appre-
ciating it's aims. This is a very
vanished tale regarding the condi-
tions with which Mr.. Fiske and
] have had to contend. Courtesy and
sympathy forbid the publication of the
absolutely plain facts. which would
not reflect credit upon many men who
have been more or less intimately as
sOciated with us. We have nothing to
be ashamed of and nothing to regret.
except the lack of cooperation and
good faith On the part of the men
from whom we had not only reason
but right to expect loyalty and honesty.
l sincerely hope that the few people
who have been kind enough to interest
themselves in me professionally and
in my personal career will appreciate
the reasons why I am compelled to ac-
cept the inevitable and give me the
same respect that any man would re-
ceive who has struggled honestly and
who has been defeated through no
fault of his own"

The agency succeeded in effecting ar

that the independent ranks would be
largely augmented. At that time more
than thirty frst-class attractions were
preparing to join us.

defeated these plans, which were based
chiefly upon Mr.. Stairs assurances
that his theaters would remain open to
