THE TROUBLES
Of A MANAGER
L. M. Crawford Explains
Position Regarding Play
ing Road Attractions.

L N. Crawford, lessee Of the Texas
Grand theater, writing a friend in FL
Paso relative to his recent refusal TO
rent his theauer to the Boston Grand
Opera company for $500 for two per-
formances, explaining the position Of
the manager or lessee upon these mat
tiers. Mr.. Crawford insisted that the
company should pay his house on a
percentage, retaining IS percent of the
gross and paying 10 percent for the
use Of the house, and asserted at the
time that this is the lowest percentage
on which a travelling organization is
ever played by a manager or lessee
His letter to a friend here explains his
position further and in part is as fol-
lows:
There Is an unwritten law in the
management of the combination the
alter, that is on a sharing basis. that
the local manager or owner or lessee
takes his gamble in playing the attrac-
ton, and Is entitled to his legitimate
percentage. This is the basis on which
1t has been conducted during my 40
years experience, and we never deviate
from IL. There Is seldom any dispute
regarding the percentage, as that is
usually fixed on the basis Of the ex-
pense and drawing capacity OF the at
traction.
The same attraction that is trying
TO make use Of the good people Of FL
Paso to get the Texas Grand theater at
a small rental plays towns the size
OF Topeka, Wichita, Lincoln, Omaha and
St Joseph at 1886 and 20-S0 percent
These are the terms they have pro-
posed. Now is there any reason why
we should not have the same terms
1885, for a live town like FL Paso?
II anyone is entitled to a bit Of the
cream of the business why not the
owner or the lessee. who pays the rent
for II months in the year In which he
cannot possibly use it more than three
months?
who can be more interested or de-
sirous of playing the big attractions
than the owner or the lessee? Our the
aters are booked by Klaw 4 Erlanger,
New York. the Oldest and most reliable
and equitable theatrical firm in Amer
lea There is never any argument re-
garding terms when they send the con-
tracts 10 the owner or lessee Of the
theaters they represent They know
what are fair and equitable terms and
we managers and owners Of theaters
know it, and accept the customary
terms. So why should we make an ex-
ception in the case Of this or Of any
other attraction?
There are a lot OF things about the
business tho public does not understand
or appreciate The majority only see
the bright side of the business. They
know very little and care less about
the profitable end Of the business.
They are there in plenty to witness the
big houses but mighty few know any
thing about the Improbable houses.
If we sustain our own losses we should
certainly be entitled to the customary
terms Of the others that come our way

CAPT. OVERTON
FIGHTSFOR MINE
Soninlaw of Gen. Mills In
volved in Noted Mine
Case, Visiting City.

Capt. W. H. Overton, Q. S. A., retired,
soninlaw of Gen. Arson Mills, is IN III
Paso on business connected with the
Preside Mining company, being one
Of the large stockholders OF the COM
pany. The captain has for the past
two months been in San Francisco
prosecuting a case against William ;.
Moves, president of the company, whose
case is now under advisement BY po-
lice judge Norris Oppenheim, in whose
court the evidence has been heard
The San Francisco Examiner. OF re-
cent date, tells Of the testimony OF
Moves on the stand in his own behalI;
His testimony dealt with the financial
transactions of the concern and the
voting to him by the board Of directors
of $4,000 for extraordinary services
According TO Noyes's testimony, this
money was due him from money when
he advanced the concern on his own
personal note and which he had OBJ
tanned by borrowing from friends ana
business associates to install a cyanld-
ing plant and TO keep the company
from having to close down through
failure Of funds. The particular charge
of embezzlement was based on the ad-
vancement Of two checks, one for $4,000
and one for $4,000
According TO the complaint Of Capt
Overton, the $1,000 had been advanced
to Moves after he had discovered that
L. Osborn, secretary of the company,
udu dOElEaEAcA AlhtlA d4AlUuAA rum Ills
company's funds and that the presl-
dent had returned 1t to the company's
treasury to cover up the shortage
according 70 Noyes's testimony, he
was in Texas installing the $4,000
cyaniding plant, from funds which he
had personally borrowed. when the
shortage was discovered. and knew
nothing Of it until he applied to the
directors for an accounting Of the
cash available. 1t was then found that
there was a shortage Of S10,500.
In order to keep the news OF the
shortage from getting. out and jeopar-
dizing the credit of the company,
Noyes agreed to make good the short
age by lending the amount on Sl5,OeO
worth of ore which he had taken from
an adjoining claim which he had OBJ
tanned The board passed resolution
voting Noyes $4,000 on the instalment
plan to pay for his expenditures. Or
this amount $1,000 was paid and he
turned over the amount Of shortage
( and delivered his receipt Tor Sll,UOO
on account Of ore purchases. He was
to be paid back when the profit from
the mine would permit.
The money for the installation or the
mining machinery for treating the low
grade ores Noyes raised from MS per
sonal funds and from his business as
sociates He turned his holdings over
to the Preside company, which was
to pay him back from one-naI OF thS
net profits from the ore extracted.
In regard to increased salaries
Noyes's attorney, r. i. Harding,
showed that he was receiving now
the same that he had received at the
time of his entrance into the COM
pany as mine superintendent
