Actors Want Rest.
To get at the matter from the act
ors point Of view, Richard Kipling
was interviewed He expressed him
self without equivocation as opposed TO
the proposition to open the theaters on
Sunday.
~ would not advise IT, At no place
in the United States east Of the Mis-
sssippi do they have Sunday shows.
TO open the theaters here on Sunday
; would not give q cent more revenue
to the managers. ] think it would ruin
the Friday and Saturday night bust

Pile, knowing that they could 90 to the
theaters on Sunday, would float around
town on Saturday nights and blow IN
! their money ON things perhaps less
beneficial than theaters and then,
lwhen Sunday came, they would posi-.

From Managers Side.
w. r. Hughes, leader Of the Bijou
: orchestra, was more conservative IN
l. expressing his opinion. A." From the
+ point Of view OF the combine,V said
j. Mr.. Hughes, Hthey are certainly up
o against 10 in the vaudeville Business
+ here, for the reason that they have TO
IS pay their artists more money than In
h the States and also have TO pay trans
y portation both ways, which amounts
TO practically one-thiTd Of the salary
II in the States where the theaters arc
Il open on Sunday the Sunday business
It amounts to Approximately as much az
o their Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
n Thursday and Friday shows. Tho
n combine is up against II here, be
% cause their expenses are 10 high.
le "However,p continued Mr.. Hughes
g. Choking at IL the other way, every
1t body is really entitled TO one day h

win Not Hurt.
tge T. j. scully, manager Of the Hon
ses lulu Amusement Company, said that
did not think that the theater won
hurt anyone on Sunday. If Poop
ice can Z 90 to the theater on Sunday
md said, Fthey viii have to stay aTOnr
ing home. If we are allowed to run Su
SIX. day shows, we can get better class
zen performers, pay them better galarlt
the and make more frequent changes.
ieir don't think the Sunday theater won
the do any more harm than Sunday baf
ball games. On account of the lar
number Of soldiers here, and the -
o.4 larger number that win be station
~ here and in this vicinity in tho nc
e eeo future, ] think there should be Sol
place for them to 90 Sunday nigh
aia. Certainly very few Of them would
not tend church.
