light Of what has happened since the

ent that the managers would hardly

actors would accept.
Some Of the managers, are still
talking about opening theatres with
non-union stage hands and musicians
None OF the scheduled openings has
come TO pass thus far. Equity actors
are picketing houses which have ad-
vertised openings and say that one
reason why performances have not
been given is because the managers
cannot get competent actors to fill
their casts. rE
