NO EDUCATIONAL THEATREP
Mark Twain and Other Directors Ask TO
Have Corporation Dissolved.

The Educational Theatre. which was
organized by Mark Twain and others
TO train the East Side children in the
dramatic arts and has been run in con-
neotion with the Educational Alliance,
got an order from Supreme Court Justice
Giegerich yesterday to show cause why
the corporation should not be dissolved
The order is returnable on August Q. 1t
followsa number OF troubles Of the theatre
since 1t was Incorporated last October,
among which were efforts Of the police
to stop the Sunday night performances
as violations OF the Sunday law and the
resignation in February Of Mrs. Emma
Sheridan Fry. who had been head director
for five years.
The application for the order to show
cause is directed to Attorney General
QMalley and Miss Alice Minnie Herts,
who has been the real head Of the theatre
since 1t was organized. She is the only
director who didn't sign the application
for the order. the other four being Samuel
L. Clemens, Robert j. Collier, Charles E.
Miner and Otto H. Kahn.
The application says that there are no
creditors or unsatistied judgments and
that the directors deem 1t beneficial to
dissolve because the theatre has been sup
ported entirely by voluntary contributions
and the burden OF carrying on the work
has fallen on the directors. They say
they have found that in order to carry
out the work properly it would be neces-
sary to have an endowment fund to main
tain theatre and sohoo! and that they
have found 1t impossible to get that fund
The theatre hasn't been doing much
since Mrs. Fry resigned. At that time the
senior class at the theatre on whom the
productions depended decided to support
Mrs Fry and thirty Ave Of them sent in
their designations to Miss Herts. This
was Just before the class was to have
presented The Little Princess in Boston.
The children wrote q letter to Mark
Twain at that time In which they, asked
him il he couldn't adjust the troubles at
the theatre. They said that Mrs. Fry's
resignation had been made necessary by
Miss Herts's desire to further the inter
ests OF Jacob Heniger the stage mana ger.
They gave Miss Herts credit for putting
the work OF the theatre before the public,
but said II was work done by Mrs. Fry
that made the production OF The Prince
and Pauper" and other presentations at
the theatre notable.
Miss Herts said at the time that the only
difficulty was the failure Of Mrs. Fry to
be satisfied with the work mapped out for
her.
1t was stated yesterday that Miss Herts
will have arguments to present on the
hearing OF the order to show cause. and
that by August @ she may advance way
to continue the work OF the theatre without
the aid OF the petitioning directors
