McAdOO Almost
Ended One-Nieht
Show Business
Order That Small Troupes
Must Each Buy SO Tickets
to Obtain Special Baggage
Car Is Finally Rescinded

For d whole day the small theatri-
cal troupcs which start from New York
on countrywide transforming tours
were threatened with extinction. The
lone-haired Hamlcts and groups of
itinerant chorus girls threw up then
hands in despair. But it all ended
happily on New Years Day.
This is the way it happened: Last
Tuesday Director General of Railroads
McAdoo without warning put into eff
feet an order which required all the
atrioal troupos TO purchase fifty 5irsj
class tickets, or twice the number they
formerly bought, in order to obtain
the use Of a baggage car in which to
carry their trunks and scenery.
Mare Klaw, president Of the United
Theatrical Managers Protective Asso-
citation, and Lee Shubert Immediately
telcgraphcd protest to Washington
They said that the small theatrical
companies could not afford TO pay the
double price and that The order would
practically put an end to that feature
of the theatrical business. Thousands
of actors and chorus girls On the road
would be thrown out o. JOBS and be
sent back to Broadway, lhey said, and
all the little towns n the country
would no longer enjoy oue-night per
iormances.
Mr.. Shubert telegraphcd 10 Mr.. Me
Adoo: "Your order simply puts & stop
to the travels Of the small theatrical
companies. 1t will DO an irreparable
damage TO the business. Most Of these
small companies have only from fifteen
to twenty members. They are willing
to pay for twenty-five first class tick
cts, as formerly, but If now they have
to buy fifty tickets to obtain the use
of a baggage car. their doom is sealed.
am sure the government viii not
put this heartless burden on them"
Moved by this appeal, Mr.. McAdoo
yesterday sent a telegram to Mn. Shu-
bert saying that tx order had been
rescinded, to take effect at once. The
order lasted just one day.
THE old year ended with Il night
mare for these companies, but the new
year now dawns bright and promising,'
said Mr.. Shubert.
John L. Golden, the producer, said;
"The government could hardly have
been aware of the extensive business
it would have stopped by enforcing the
order. The travelling theatrical com
panes represent millions Of dolars.'
Mr.. Golden said the managers have
engaged expert accountants, who in a
month will make q detailed report on
the theatrical business.
