ACTOR TELLS OF. THE BOOKING
~ SYSTEM NOW IN FORCE Z

SYSTEM NOW IN FORCE <
Five years ago the double commits
sion booking system was unheard of
in Chicago. Now the turn that gets a
booking without from two to four
agents peeling a few gTeenbacks off
the pay roll is scarcely worth book
ing.
This is the plant of 5000 vaude-
vile actors who are quartered in Chi
cago. Men prominent in theatricals
say there are at least that many stage
folks in Chicago, tWo-thirds of them
out of work.
The actors accuse the big booking
concerns of purposely creating this
condition so they might demand an
extra tribute from the pay envelope.
ct is only few years since the
present abominable system started in
Chicago" said vaudeville star now
playing in the city 1.-The booking
agents were getting 5 per cent COM
missions and growing wealthy, fat
and happy. Then someone schemed
out a plan to work the performers
for an extra commission. One of the
country's most noted booking agen-
cies one day announced to APP
plicants for bookings that they could
not be booked through that agency
unless they first went to sub-agent
and booked through him into the big
agency. That meant two commits
sions. Now worthwhile performer

thoroughly blacklisted that he would

the booking agencies. The commits
sion a performer pays the booking
agent often eventually winds its way
to the purse of the theater owner.
That means the performer is paying
the theater owner for the privilege of
working in that theater He gets his
salary of course, less the commission,
but salaries have been beaten pretty
low. Even at that, the performer
would not object to paying one book
ing commission, and his managers
besides, but the big booking concerns
who own one or two sub-agencies
will insist that the performer book
through these before the big agency
will recognize them. = Everybody gets
a crack at the poor performers

If you were the only person in the

good and evil as the world generally
does, and then you should conclude to
discontinue this way and decide to
think exactly as the commandments

and you should carry this out to the
very letter, that is, think and do
only that which is good, pure, and
upright. then where would evil be?
Evil has no principle, law, or govern

Mound DweIIers.

The name mound dwellers, for want
of a better, is given to the prehistoric
and mythical inhabitants OF the CEN
trail West, who antedated the Indians.
The mounds, on which the name IS
based. were parts of Notifications or
tombs, and their builders are supposed
to have been remote ancestors OF the
Indians. One authority says: The oio
theory that the mound builders were
distinct race of highly civilized agri-
culturists who had lived from remote
antiquity in the regions of the mounds
and were eventually exterminated by
the nomadic hordes coming from the
oorthward. represented today by the
indians, is no longer supported by
ethnologists, who hold that the Indians
are their descendants. Where they
came from or how they got here are
matters of speculation.
