Theater.r but the people of Denver are
too wise to he hoodwinked by this sort
OF subterfuge.
Vaudeville artists appearing at this
theater are making big kick on ae-
count of inexperienced stage hands and
musicians. and some of the acts are so
bungled IS to become pitiful farces. Last
week one of the headliners was cut out
because the stige hands could not prop
erly set the scene or the orchestra render
music necessary to its production.
This week committees from the
Amusement Council visited the various
labor organizations of the city and ac-
quainted them with the situation, and
an emphatic decrease in attendance OF
regular patrons Of the theater has been
the result.
1t is further stated that a change in
name was ordered from headquarters OF
the Psntages circuit in Seattle to pre-
vent tieup of some fifteen theaters op-
Grated by the company.
Most of the stage hands. musicians
and operators who quit the Pantages
when Manager Darling refused to COM
ply with union conditions have secured
work in other plsyhouses.
Wednesday afternoon. while several
members OF the Stage Employees Union
were standing in front OF the theater,
Manager Darling became so frantic that
he sent in riot alarm TO police head
quarters. When the wagonload of blue
coats arrived and found no disturbance,
they gave the manager verbal rasping
that will cause him to be more careful in
future.
The United States theater. Isis and
Iris moving picture thesters on Curtis

ter Reynolds. a member Of the colony.
with the shooting Reynolds has disap.
poar-d and no trace Of him has been
found.
The trouble had iis origin during the
absence OF HoffAmier over who was in
authority. II was shown in the coroner's
investigation that the killing OF Hoffa-
mier was through mistaken identity.

had previously quarrcled and who had

Commissioner Thum's Position
On City Park Band Leadership
Says Records SoD One Hundred Per Cent More Union Mus
clans Haue Been Employed Under Commission Govern
1ent Than BY Any Precious Administration

Announcement that the park board
had engaged Frederick n. Innes, former
ly a soloist with Sousa's band, later
be bandmaster at the City park con-
certs this summer has created some dis
sention on the part of local members of
the Musicians Union, now playing with
Signor Pietro Satriano's band at the
Auditorium concerts. who was also an
applicant for the place. 1t is stated
by the park board that Innes was given
the position by reason of his national
reputation as a band leader. and that
he had removed his residence to Denver
on account of his wife's health: and.
further, that he intends to organize here
Denver Municipal band to tour the
country when not engaged locally.
The Musicians Union an organiza-
tion has taken no official action in the
matter. according to the statement of
Secretary F. j. Leibold.
This year the City Park band will be
composed OF 50 musicians and soloists,
members of the Musicians Union. The
Park board is under the Commissioner of
Property. AFR. Otto +. Thum. who gives
his position IN the matter TO the work
ing people of Denver in the following

"PHoSsY JAW" VERDICT 5000.
Match Factory Company Pays Employe
Heavy Damages.

Elizabeth Nemanich, Is. was awarded
$3.50 damages in the Circuit Court at
Joliet, III. for the loss of her lower jaw
from the disease known as ''phossy jaw, -
eoutraeted in the plant of the National
Match Company two years ago. The girl
suffered intense agony until an OPP
eration removed all the diseased bone
tissue from her face and metal jaw
was substituted for the one provided by

and am just vain enough to claim some
credit and praise for it. I am willing
enough to stand on that record before
the. people of Denver, and particularly
the union men and women, as an
achievement that means dollars and
cents to Denver union musicians.
Now as to the criticism. As l figure
it out it comes entirely on the employ
ment OF Frederic y. Innes. a conductor
of International fame, as against Den
yer conductor OF perhaps equal ability.
/ need not here re-state my known pref
erenee for all things Denver. I am for
home industry first and every time. So
it goes without saying that when it
came TO employing a conductor for the
Denver Municipal band l went down the
line for Denver man. But when / was
overrhelmed with the advantages to
Denver that would follow the engage
ment of a celebrity like Innes to lead
the band, and after l had been able to
raise the number of union men TO be
employed to so, and had insisted that
musicians residing in Denver should in
all cases be given the preference in en-
ployment BECAUSE THEY RESIDE IN
DENVER, l felt that much-very much
--had been secured for the general mem.
bership of the Musicians Union.
II is my hope and belief that every
union man, when these facts are known
will appreciate the efforts made in their
behalf. And I expect the members oi
the Musicians Union TO take advantag,
of tie benefits which are theirs by rea-
son Of the 1914 arrangements.
