edy, hasn't been taken out OF its tbs
sue paper yet. This explosion was to
have come off last night, but so ef-
fectively have the union labor actors
depleted its cast that the producers
said the opening has been postponed
indefinitely.
The Voice in the Dark Is being
manhandled by a new cast, and, &C
cording to the producers, will open
again Monday night without a single
face of the original company.
Strike Il In Earnest.
Although Broadway-at-large refuses
to take the strike situation any more
seriously than it takes the usual
vaudeville act. the actors and man
ayers were in deadly earnest. and
things look bad for the strikers If
they lose.
In an afternoon meeting at the
Hotel Astor the producing managers
adopted a resolution placing them
selves on record as not opposed to or
ganized labor. This is believed to
have been dictated by managerial ap-
prehension lest the mechanical trades
OF the theaters vote a sympathetic
strike. The producers also directed
cambridge Colby, their counsel, to
sue the Actors Equity Association
and the individual strikers for dam
ages.
As matters stand the producers and
vaudeville managers are arrayed
against the union with powerful prom
ises. For one thing the faithful &C
tors are promised that for ever and
ever and ever-and then some-the
grateful producers will provide them
with golden engagements
And the chorus gals should worry.
Very few OF them are union folks and.
rs the producers are going to continue
their pay regardless OF enforced idle
ness, there's no fear that beauty will

following Monday this man was
missing and q treasurer to travel
with the show was needed. so young
Taylor volunteered for the job. He
got it on the spot and a tour with
Keene followed.
Mr.. Taylor says that the strange
part of it all is the fact that the
missing treasurer was never heard
from again. As the tragedian had
played to a big week Mr.. Connally,
his treasurer, had a large sum of
money Of which it was thought he
was robbed. possibly killed and
thrown in the river. A little later,
Keene died and Taylor, now full
fiedged in the duties of the ex-
chequer. went to McVicker's The
ater in Chicago and rested from his
flight.
1t wasn't long. though. until New
York called him and Taylor followed
the call. That marked his definite
entrance into the ranks of the show
managers and for several years he
travelled with various companies as
the show manager.
Thirteen years ago the Shubert
and Belasco interests took over the
present Shubert-B -Belasco Theater.
then known as the Lafayette, and
L. StOddard Taylor was placed in
charge. Today he is one of the best
known theatrical men In the country
and his management of the Belasco
stands as a model of theater man
agement throughout the East.
Architecture. furniture and farm
ing are Mr.. Taylor's hobbies and
were it not for the fact that the
stage saw him first, he says that
architecture or furniture might have
got him, but after all. the stage was
his first love and it is still his great
love. That is why this quotation
from Shakespeare hangs over the
managers desk, ITO business that
we love we rise betime and go tot
with delight"-Antony and Cleo

This is a story Of a man whom the
theater saw first and who after
years Of association finds in his
labOrs the same love and Inspiration
because as he says the theater al
ways reflects a new chapter Of life.
It's been a long time ago, but back
in the old Mcvicker's Theater days in
Chicago, there was a young man in
the employ OF Marshall Field & Co.
named Taylor. He was a good enough
clerk, but his heart wasn't with Mar
shall Field. His heart was constantly
hanging around the theaters and the
late Marshall Field was only paying
for his head and hands-and possibly
for his feet.
Along came destiny one day in the
fate Of another Marshall Field en-
ploye who held down the JOB of chief
usher at the theater conducted in
those days by r. VI. HoOley. Through
this chief usher, the young man whose
heart hung around the lobbies finally
Zot a job as usher and on the day he
got that job the yOungster started the
theatrical career of L. Stoddard
Taylor.

Salaries that Pyramid

In these days when the spectacle
of millionaires being made overnight
via the munitions or other war time
routes, is more or less commonplace,
1t would seem that a story of pyra-
miding salary would be nothing un-
usual
But George Price, who is one of the
big features on the bill at B. F.
Keith's this week, has a story that
hits the unusual despite its prosaic
attributes.
George is eighteen years old. When
re was seven he was ambitious to
emulate his older brother, who helped
keep the pot boiling by carrying suits
for tailor who piled his trade on
the East Side of New York.
Georgie would follow his brother
on his rounds as his size eliminated
carfare worries. One day on de-
livering some work to a tailor
George began singing one of the
popular songs of the day.
The tailor liked it so we'll he
gave George a nickel and called
in a grocer TO hear him. The
grocer raised Georgie's pay to a

SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST INFLUENZA

Physicians and health authorities
throughout the country are fever
ishly preparing to combat Spanish
Influenza, which, it is predicted will
return this fall and winter with more
virulence than ever.
Experiments with several kinds of
serum and vaccine have failed to de-
velop single one which will insure
the public against the ravages of the
greatly dreaded disease. Another
epidemic, the doctors say. must be
fought with the same medicines used
last year, but little precaution used
before the situation arrives will save
thousands of lives.
Harvard university medical school
has announced the discovery of an
etflcaclous serum, and requests have
come from the entire country for full
particulars. New York officers, how
ever, are frankly dubious.

BIG POWER PROJECT

The State Engineers office has
received application from P. A.
Simon, of the Simon mines near
Nina, for the right to use the East
Walker River for electric power
for milling and mining. The pro-
posed site for this power plant is
situated near Horseshoe bend, not
far from Sweetwater and survey
Of the surrounding reservoir has been
ordered
In the application it is stated that
the purpose is to create approx
mately 5000 horsepower, the water to
be impounded by the construction Of
concrete and rock dams at cost of
100000. Three years is given as the
time required to finish this project
which is one of the largest SO far
undertaken by any mining concern
in the state. 1t is further stated that
the water is to be used solely for
power purposes and returned to its
proper channel after passing through
the penstocks of the generating
plant By selecting site near the
head waters of the river, above much
diversion, it is estimated that $500
second feet can be applied to the
power plant.
While this project has been filed
and the fees paid, the state surveys
are to be made Immediately before
granting the rights State Engineer
Scrugham is to see whether it is
possible to hook this in with the
storage system proposed by the
Smith Valley farmers, they to take
the water through a canal system
after it leaves the penstock OF the
power concern 1t is possible that ar
rangements will be made to combine
with the Simon interest IN the build
ing of the restraining dams and assist
in holding back considerable of the
food waters that have passed on to
the Walker Lake for years.
The state engineer says that he re-
CARDS this as one of the most import
ant filings placed in his Office since
he took it over.

MORE BAD CHECKS

Jas. Riley and George Northy,
miners employed by the Congress
Company, operating at Wheeler Pass,
have caused the arrest of E. T.. Orth,
acting suerintendent Of the property,
charging that Ortiz employed them
to work in the mine and refused to
pay them their wages, which aggre-
gated $3.50.
The Nevada laws provide that an
employer who refuses to pay his en-
ployees within five days after a de-
mand for pay is made is guilty of a
misdemeanor, and is liable to fine and
Imprisonment.
Mr. Ortiz declares that he is sim
ply an employee of the company and
that he has not been provided with
the money to pay the wages.
The case will be tried in Haw-
