Combination d. Managers I'd
Start Economy at Close
of the Season.

The most determined struggle that
has ever taken place between the ac-
tors on ! the one side, represented by
the Actors Equity Association; and
similar organizations, and the new
combination Of managers, including
Klaw and Erlanger and the Shuberts,
will mark the close of the present
theatrical season, according to reports
from New York. Az &

The first decisive step OF the new
union OF managers will look to q
sweeping reduction in salaries Man
ayers argue that the salaries Of ac-
tors have become inflated to point
which makes reduction imperative u

depressed theatrical conditions. With
the engagement OF companies for the
next season the new schedule Of SAL
aries will be put into effect, It is ex-
pected, with the actors making their
struggle through their organizations.
The United Booking Office, which
has been said to be the most bus-
inesSldke organization in charge Of
amusements in this country, lowered
vaudeville salaries last fall. The ac-
tors protested, but they had to accept
the new conditions 1t is true that
actors are this season accepting less
m the way OF salary than in the past
but Is with the idea of making per-
manent and reasonable scale that the
present reformation has been under
taken.
'Full a half OF the companies which
have closed their seasons this year
and come back to New York" a we'll
known manager declares, could have
gone on with their tours II the ac-
tors had been receiving what thew
got ten years or less ago. But sal
aries have gradually been creeping
up to point which makes 1t impos-
sible for managers to keep up their
organization unless they play to prac-
tically sold out houses.

Their Activities.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.The ac-
stiyities of the William A. Brady Pic
ture Plays Corporation are to be
very materially increased for the
second year Of that million dollar
company. During the first year,
which still has some time to 60, It
was planned to produce only one
play in each month, in order to be
sure the machinery of every depart
ment should be in perfect working
order when the time should arrive
for enlarging the output.
The pieces thus far made include
"a Gentleman from Mississippi
with Thomas A. Wise, The Dollar
Mark, :" with Robert Warwick, "The
Pit," with Wilton Lackaye, GAS Ye
Sow" with Alice Brady, and several
others now ready but not as yet re-
leased. The producing limit will be
more than doubled at the expira-
ton of the twelve months, and the
strongest plays in the long list ac-
cumulated by Mr.. Brady during his
career in theatrical management
will then be shown in picture form.

UNION
Is Effected between English
and American Actors
Association.

Negotiations have been practically
completed for union Of the English
Actors Association and the Actors.
Equity Association Of this country,
the step being taken, It is said, be-
cause of, war conditions In England
and their effect ON the theatrical out
look In the United States.
The affiliation Of the two organiza-
tons is a matter Of considerable i'm
portance in the theatrical world, as
1t will bring together under one set
of rules more than 5000 actors In
this country and England. 1t is ex-
pected to do away with some OF the
evils that have resulted from the rush
of English actors to the United
States.
For number Of months there has
been constant friction between the
two organizations. The English ac-
tors claimed that they were discrim-
mated against in this country. The
American actors said that the pres
ence here of English actors made It
more difficult for them to get posi-
lions, and that they were discrim-
mated against in England.

NEUROLOGICAL.

The death of viii, only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. K. Arthur, occurred last Sunday
night at HAS.
Two weeks ago, he was operated upon
for appendicitis and up till Wednesday of
last week it was thought that he was doing
nicely. Complications developed, however,
in the intestines and a second operation
was performed, but even that proved un-
availing.
Deceased was 20 years and months old
and his death was bitter blow to his aged
parents, who are almost Frustrated. 1t
was the more severe, coming so soon after
tie tragic loss of another son only four
short months ago.
Will was bright boy and general
favorite with all whom he came in contact
He was boy scout and right nobly
did they respond to the call of duty when
their services were needed.
Services were held at the Baptist church
by Rev. A. S. Ulm, and large number of
people congregated there to pay their last
respects to the dead
Besides his parents, he left six sisters

and they may rest secure in the belief that
the Saviour, their son and brother con-
fessed before he died, will not desert them
