in Box Office.

The claims department OF the National
surety Company was not prepared yes
terday q back up the assertion made In
court by Thomas Broadhurst. manager of
william \. Bradys Forty-eighth Street
Theatre. that there had been a great num-
Der of shortages In the accounts OF theatre
treasurerS, but that as a general thing the
theatre managers had let up on the guilty
men on their agreement to make good
The remark came at the hearing In the
West Side police court of Robert 4. Fed
row, who was accused OF being short in
his accounts at the Forty-eighth Street
Theatre.
Extra hazardous Is the way we rate
these risks" said one of the lawyers at
the head OF the claims department, land
that pretty well answers your question.
We take very few such risks. SO ! am not
IN position to say whether the average
theatre treasurer Is any more dishonest
than any other. doubt IL he is.
The theatre treasurer. as We under
stand Il, IL scarcely well paid considering
his work and responsibilities. He neces-
sarily has appearances to keep up and
then there Is his peculiar environment Of
theatrical lifA We don't consider him a
good risk and we have few OF them on our
books. We have some and we have had
to pay few claims, but not more par
ttcularly than In any other walk In life"
Theatrical managers generally last
night declined TO discuss MIR, Broadhurst's
statement, but several. while asserting
that the rank and file OF the treasurers
was undoubtedly honest. said that there
had been many cases recently where the
theatre manager had become suspicious
