association therefore would have the
managers pay the actors for these ex-
ira performances and also wishes to
compel managers to pay the full
amount for all weeks worked In other
words the actor simply wishes a plain

Perhaps the seventh and last clause
which the association has incorporated
IN its category, that which seeks for
an adjustment with regard to the cost
OF WOmenS dresses, IS the most in
terestinS. In the old days, cheese
cloth, paper muslin, tinSel, etc, could
be used effectively, but now real
silks, satins, chiffons, and laces are
component parts of the costumes.
The actresses believe that the pro-
ducers should bear some of the cost
OF these garments and have suggested
that they provide costumes for all act
reSSeS whose salaries are less than
800 a week
Among the prominent actresses in
the association are Olive Wyndham
Christie Macdonald, Elsie Janis, Crys-
Ial Herne, Marguerite Clark, Laurette
Taylor, Blanche Bates, Amelia Bing-
nam, Margaret Anglin, Frances Starr
and Janet Beecher
