So SHOWS FAIL
Which is What is Driving Stars Into
Vaudeville

New York, Jan. 29-The failure of
so many 81 plays, dramatic and mu-
steal. is one reason so many legitlm-
ate actors and actresses have gone
into vaudeville, lately, in the opinion
of Percy G Williams, vaudeville man
ager
The report that Sir Herbert Tree
has consented to appear at the Pal
ace Theatre, London, in a one-act
piece started a discussion of the sub
iect Yesterday, and Mr. Williams gave
his ideas of the causes that have for
ced Legitimate actors into the field
of variety Besides the failures of the
plays, the better salaries received in
vaudeville were mentioned as an
other cause. Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Tree. it is said, is to receive about
$4,000 a week. appearing in an adap
tation of Kipling's "The Man Who
Was"
There is no question that the fail
ure of so many 81 plays has sent to
vaudeville a number of players which
we would not otherwise have said
Mr.. Williams; but there are other
sides to the question. Actors on the
Legitimate stage have altered their
views within the past couple of years
about playing vaudeville dates, and
where once such players were pleas
ed to term their brief excursions in
to the domain of vaudeville as fliers,
they now seek long engagements,
finding the work more congenial than
the perils of stardom

Steady and Strong Growth.

Steady growth of a genuine eharac-
ter is shown by the xty-second an
nual report of the Union Mutual Life
Insurance Co, published to-day, in
which large increases of assets and
surplus, as we'll as substantial gain in
the insurance items, are exhibited.
The past year was hardly entitled to
be called one of general prosperity and
yet the figures in all departments in
dictate reasonable ratio of advance
ment, demonstrating that this home
company under the executive charge
of President Fred f. Richards, is
steadily working ahead, maintaining
its position as one of the leading fl
nancial institutions of the State, and
one, at the same time, Which is con-
stantly doing all that it can to pro-
mote the business interests of Maine
by the large investments and loans
which are made in Maine, the aggre-
gate of which is well beyond five mill
lion dollars. 1t is not to be wondered
at that the volume of insurance car
ried upon Maine lives is advancing
substantially. for recognition of this
kind on the part of the people is GER
tainly due in return for all that the
Union Mutual does to advance the
prosperity of the state.
