The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1913-12-12

Christmas matinee was confined almost
exclusively to few Of the first class
theaters in New York city.
On the road 1t Is different. The ac-
tors have to work just as hard as they
ever did. and opposition from local
managers will probably prevent the
elimination Of the Christmas matinee
outside of New York.
With some companies Christmas Is
not the disagreeable occasion that II
is with others. One or two owners
make 1t practice to instruct the man
ager with the company to have a
Christmas dinner prepared ut the ex.
pense Of the show. Sometimes q cater.
er Is called In, and the dinner is served
on the stage between the matinee and
the evening performance. In that event
the dinner usually proves prolific of
material for the house press agent, and
the affair is duly recorded In the daily
papers. Sometimes Il is served on the
stage after the evening performance.
Other times arrangements are made ut
some hotel.
It was one Of these after the per-
Torrance affairs that came pretty near

Matters not how you might try.

Theres lois OF WorAs
And there amt no play.

"HAT little verse. paraphrased
from one familiar to soldiers,
just about sums up the real
Christmas sentiment existing
among people connected with the the
atrical business. No, that doesn't
mean that the actor. the manager and
the advance agent do not appreciate
the giving and receiving of presents
from their friends. But II does mean
that people connected with the stage
have come to look upon the Christmas
time as season Of short pay and hard
work.
It isn't generally known. but it is
none the less true. that most actors
have a clause In their contracts which
calls for half pay the week before
Christmas. This clause was inserted
In the days when the week before
Christmas really was tough" one in
the theatrical business. But nowadays
there are many productions (which
pack the theaters to the doors the week
before Christmas as well as any other
week In the year. Nevertheless some
Of the managers live up to that con-
tract and deduct the half weeks pay.
That is one reason why actors aren't
particularly merry at Christmas.
There are other managers who
make practice of laying off their
companies the week before Christmas
and some Of them ten days or two
weeks before. In that case there is
no salary ut all forthcoming That.
probably. is another reason why the
average actor cannot understand why
Christmas is an occasion to be unduly
joyful.
1t was only last year that some Of
the managers came to the conclusion
that stage people. like other human be-
ings. might like to spend some part Of
the Christmas holiday with their
friends and relatives. Up to that year
it had been the custom Of all man
ayers to give a special matinee on
Christmas day. That meant. Of course
that about all the actor had to do Oh
this festive occasion was to rush tn
the theater almost as soon as he had
acquired his regular amount Of sleep.
give an afternoon performance and
then. If fortunate enough to have
friends or relatives living In the city.
to hurry through his Christmas dinner
with them or leave before 1t was half
over to go back to the theater to play
the evening performance.
But few Of the managers changed
that last year by emitting the Christ
mas matinee and giving It on the day
following There were other managers
however. who not only gave the Christ
mas matinee. but acted on the sugges-
ton of their more charitable competi
tors and gave the matinee the day aft
