Of the unemployed, said a member
OF the club last night, and the idea
grew until the dinner was the out
come. Conditions and their causes
were discussed. In all truth the sit
uation is serious and the future is
not pleasant to contemplate An
investigation discloses that the the
atricaI business in America is at the
lowest ebb since 1903. and that il
is likely to grow worse. Managers
whose standing is unQuestioned and
who are the acknowledged leaders Of
the world of drama give figures
Naturally they do not care to be
quoted. From these managers and
other equally reliable sources it was
learned that over 5000 out of the
IS, 900 players in this country are
now out of jobs. More than this
there is no relief in sight. OF the
5000 about $50 are men and wo-
men who receive large salaries.
Those who attended the hard
luck" dinner are all we'll paid men.
Their salaries run from SIS to $3.50
a week. The moment New York sue
cesses are sent on the road they
play TO exceedingly small receipts.
Half a dozen big successes could be
named which are playing to an av-
erage Of $500 a night. In normal
times they take in 81, 200. Either
people outside New York haven't the
money to spend for amusements or
they won't spend ii. No business is
being done in the one night stands,
hence the shows are being thrown
into the larger centers. None of the
shows makes money. In the middle
west one OF the best known Ameri-
can stars played a week 10 $3.50.
After the house got its share he
didn't have enough left to pay sal
