VARIOUS VIEWS ON
GLORE'S SUGGESTION
Thcatcr Managers Discuss His Plan tn
Provide Fircproof smoking
Rooms at Houses.

That the stage hands Of the various
theaters in salt Lake do not get along
amiably with the fireman detailed there
became evident yesterday when a dele
CATION Of members Of the Theatrical
Stage Employees union called on Chief
w. II. Glore and complained OF the
way in which the fireman had inter
preted the terms OF the ordinance rcgu-
lating the theaters.
In many cases 1t is found out that
il is really the fault of the men sta
toned at the thodters by chief Glore
In other cases, particularly the ones
regarding smoking, The stage hands are
at fault, il is said. As a solution of
the problem, the fire chief advocates
that the ordinance be amended so as
to provide a tin walled, or other fire
proof smoking room at each theater
whore the performers and employees
may smoke.
George -. Pyper, manager OF the
salt Lake theater, says that such a
thing would not only be foolish, but
impracticable lie also takes occa-
sion TO offer some criticisms OF the cal
ibcr of the men stationed at the thea
ter by the fire department. He calls
attention to one case whore a man IN
one company was talking to a woman
and carried an unlighted cigar In his
hand.
The fireman walked up to the actor
and Knocked the cigar from his hand
and trampled on il without even u
word Of warning. Mr.. PIPER says that
actors or anyone else would not use a
room to smoke in. and that at his
theater the rule against smoking is
strictly enforced. Inc members OF the
companies and the stage hands all go
outside TO smoke, he says, and no
trouble is had at that house.
Manager sutton OF the Orpheum calls
attention to the fact that the dressing
rooms at that house are In Il separate
building, and therefore do not come
within the ordinance IL is a fireprnof
building separated from the thea,t
entirely. and no FIRE can possibly oris-
mate from any smoking there. he says.
Manager ketChum of the Colonial in
sists that there IS no smoking at his
house. He also says that there Is "A fine
imposed on any stage hand' or actor
who attempts II. lie says that he has
had no trouble with the fireman sta
toned at his house.
Archie Cox, who represents the Max
Florence theatrical interests, says
that they are having no trouble I'm
his houses now with the detail station
ed there. He also says that the smok-
ing rule is strictly enforced.
Nell s Wilson. treasurer of the
Garrick says that at their theater
the smoking ordinance - strictly adj
hered to. All the actors or others be-
hind the scenes must go out In the
alley II they care to smoke, he says.
He also states that ne thinks the idea
of Chief Glore a good one, and calls
attention to the fact that in other
cities fire proof smoking rooms are
provided for the stage hands and
actors, and that where these rooms
are allowed the ordinances regulate
ing the theaters are no less strict
than those Of salt Lake.
