Some
Tales Of the
Stars that Shine

The Irish National Theater society of
Dublin, whose players are now at the
Maxine theater, have demonstrated that
altruism In the management OF theater
is not an impracticable ideal. The direc-
tors OF the society," Lady Gregory and
William Butler Yeats, not only have given
the Irish players a share in the profits
OF the Dublin thsater and OF the present
American tour, but they have permitted
them 70 have a voice in certain business
affairs OF the theater.
Yesterday the players agreed to sign a
contract with George c. Tyler. managing
director OF Liebler g. Co., under which
they win add another month TO their sue
cessful and profitable American engage
ment- Lady Gregory submitted the pro-
posal to the players last week for their
consideration and decision, for they had
the deciding word whether they should
remain in the United States an additional
month or return to Dublin at the end OF
the period arranged for the American
tour, nineteen weeks.
The players discussed the proposal all
week, and the last one signed the agree
mept yesterday. Some of the players
were averse from remaining an additional
month, not because they were grieved at
the violent opposition of a small propor-
tlon OF the first night audience to 'The
Playboy OF the Western World" but be-
cause they were homesick for dear, dirty
old Dublin" as they fondly call the city
OF their birth
American players undoubtedly will be
surprised TO learn that any band OF play
ers Is given a voice In the settlement OF
such important commercial affairs as the
extension Of contract, but that is the
seemingly curious privilege OF the Irish
players. committee Of the players In
Dublin is consulted on various matters
relating to the theaber. They cannot veto
the production OF plays selected by the
directors Of the Abbey, but they have the
power to point out that a bin is un-
necessarily severe ON them and induce the
directors to alter the bill for that reason.
They. also. have a voice In the decision
Of other matters concerning their own Inn
mediate interests.
The profit sharing plan is working very
satisfactorily and the players are highly
pleased with H. Under the royal license
under which the Irish players operate the
directors are forbidden 60 share In the
profits. II is q labor OF love with them.
Profit sharing Is an undreamed OF heaven
TO American players. but the Irish
players have already entered into that
paradise. The shares are arranged pro-
portiOnatsly TO the salaries received.
Members OF the company are not per-
mitted to share In the profits until and
after they have been members OF the
company for two years.
Another heavenly ideal, In the minds OF
American players, has been attained by
these Irish players thanks to the kindly
interest In the players welfare manifested
by Lady Gregory and Mr.. Yeata The
Irish players are engaged for fifty-two
weeks In the year. so that their salaries
are as regular as those OF bank clerks
ana All others engaged on yearly salaries.
