PROF. NAPOLEON
Miss Alice S. Griffith Defends
the Charity Performances
Against Charges

In a letter to the Theatrical Man
ayers association, Miss Alice S. Grif-
fifth, president of the Telegraph Hill
Neighborhood association, has chal-
lenged declarations made by the the
atrical managers in a statement from
their association relative to benefit per-
formances, which was published in The
Call of May %.
The original statement of the the
atrica1 managers severely criticised
the business methods employed in the
production of benefit plays with pro-
fessional promoters in charge, and
specifically mentioned the recent per-
formances of Professor Napoleon.
which was produced as a benefit for
the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood as
sociation.
Miss Griffith states in her letter that
the Valencia theater. where the per-
formances were given, was paid for
instead of being donated, and that
several of the assertions made in the
theatrical managers statement re-
garding the conduct of the perform
ance was absolutely incorrect. Her
letter to the Theatrical Managers as
soclatlon follows:
On Monday, May %, an article
emanating evidently from your as

DDS of promoters of charity the-
atricals. AS the recent perform
taken as an illustration of what
is evidently felt to be an abuse, /
feel called upon to tell you that
many of the statements made were

Your criticisms were founded on
the supposition that theaters were
donated for such charitable per,

receipts: The fact is that they
received SO per cent of the gross
paid not only their own travelling
and living expenses for approxi-
mately two months, but also the
expenses of three assistants for the
most of the costumes and all of the
scenery with transportation of the
same. In addition to training the
performers the entire responsibility
of the production was in the hands
of Messrs. Davis. The directors of
this association were not called
upon even to sell tickets. and the
amount netted to the association
of $4,S15 is entirely the result of
the untiring efforts Of the pro-
moters and of the successful and
credftable performance they gave.
A representative of this associa-
tion was in their Office during the
entire period of the production and
representative of McLaren, Goode
d Co, certified accountants, was in
charge of the books. Every detail
of business and financial manage
ment was understood by the direc-
tors of this association and was
agreed upon after. submitting, the
contract to a businessman whose
experience included the details of
theatrical management.
Trusting that you will publicly
correct the false Impression made
by your criticisms of the perform
ances of Professor Napoleon"
