DREW OPPOSES ACTORS
EQUITY ASSOCIATION

John Drew. who from the very be-
ginning of the movement to unionize
the Actors Equity Association has
stood aloof and declined to participate
in the propaganda to make union la
borers out of American actors, has en-
tered a formal protest against the
movement of the officials of the Ac-
tors Equity Association and has asked
them to consider whether it would not
be better for them to try and get all
actors to join the organization and
attempt to come to an amicable un-
derstanding with managers rather
than Join the American Federation of
Labor.
Mr.. Drew visited the rooms of the
Equity Association last week and saw
the officers of the organization in per-
son. voicing his opinion that the union
propaganda they have been furthering
is a mistake and requesting them to
consider trying to gain their ends in
another way more becoming to actors
and gentlemen.
His suggestions were received with
respect, but it Is said they were not
approved of, and the unionists in the
Equity Association are determined to
carry out their program of putting the
issue to a vote at the annual meeting
on May 20.

"THE NATURAL LAW" TO
HAVE PARIS PRODUCTION

The Natural Law" the play that
created such sensation when 1t was
produced by John Cort in Boston last
spring, has been "noveliZed" and is to
be published In book form in June by
the Macauley company OF New York.
The play was censored by the Boston
police, and after a weeks run was
finally ordered withdrawn by the
mayor of that city. 1t was then pre-
sented at the Republic Theater, New
York, and had a successful run there
of fourteen weeks, later playing in all
the large cities of the East.
Contracts have been signed for the
production of the play in Paris at the
Bouffes-Parisiens Theater. under the
direction of the famous French man
ager. Mr.. Max Dearly. The transla-
tion is being made by Williamson de
Visme. formerly head OF the depart
ment of French at the University of
Chicago, and now a professor at the
Sorbonne.

WARFIELD ABAND0NS
CYAN DER DECKEN"

David warneld has abandoned Van
der Decken," David Belasco's play Of
the Flying Dutchman, in which he has
been starring on tour, and will appear
next season IN a new play, says the cur
rent issue Of the Dramatic Mirror. Mr
warfeld's action is based upon his con-
viction that his role is utterly unsutted to
him. 1t was originally planned that he
should open the Belasco Theater season
in September in Van der Decken." As
yet no arrangements have been made
for his local appearance, but it is inti-
mated that he will be seen in a new
drama from the pen of Mr.. Belasco.
Van der Decken" was originally pro-
duced in Washington in December and
was enthusiastically received. Since then
It has been playing in the principal Mid
die Western cities, where II has been ac-
corded a profitable season. The last per-
formance was given last Saturday night,

OLDEST CIRCUS CLOWN,
AGE 78, STILL ACTIVE
Jerry Madison, Dean of Saw
dust testers, Coming with
Barnum & Bailey.

OF the many groups Of performers
who will delight the youngsters when
the Barnum & Bailey circus comes to
Washington tomorrow and Tuesday
none will give greater joy than the
fifty clowns the "Joeys," as they are
tertalners who will make merry on
the hippodrome track include many
old-time sawdust comedians who have
clowned all over the world. Among
them is the daddy Of all clowns, Jerry
Madison. IS years old.
This merry old Jester has been a cir
Gus clown for sixty-one years. During
this time he has clowned in both con-
tinents and he has travelled with
every famous circus in the world. He
has been a court Jester in his early
days and he boasts Of being one of the
few men that ever brought a smile
to the face of the late King Leonard
of Belgium. He was a great favorite
of p. T. Barnum, who once declared
that Madison was the funniest sawdust
entertainer that he had ever had in
his employ. Madison is still as young
in action and spirits as the youngest
clown in the Barnum & Bailey show
is in years
1t is difficult to conceive of a clown
taking anything seriously, yet these
testers of the sawdust arena enter into
the preliminary preparations for one
of their feature acts with as much
soberness of intent as would be in evi-
dence at a rehearsal Of Shakespearan
drama. The greatest attention is given
to detail of costume and pantomime,
for. back of the apparent toomfoolery
of the hippodrome is a long series of
carefully enacted rehearsals.
It is doubtful If there is any other
travelling amusement enterprise that
has as many world-famous clowns as
the Barnum & Bailey show Is featur-
ing this season. Most of them have
made cIowninE their life work and
have grown gray under the white tops
Of the circus. A veritable furore of
fun is furnished by this army of COM
