A Broadway Mystery.

There's mystery in New York's
theatrical district. At several Of the
big offices they're collecting thumb
prints Of the stars already signed up.
Further than the marks are for the
purpose Of Identification" none Of the
collectors will give any information
about them.
II know what those thumb marks
are for" said Il Broadway loitcrer.
''The managers are going to have the
contracts SO marked in order to make
them more binding"
THAT'S not it," said another. 1.-THE
managers have probably adopted that
method of permitting every star to
make his mark in the profession.
