The Strike of the Actors

The sympathy of the people
throughout America should be
with the actors who are striking
for better conditions. The great
actors of America made the
American stage respectable and
enabled 1t to be of an uplifting
and educational value.
If the actors had remained in
control of the theatres the play.
house would still be a temple of
art, instead of home Of stupid.
ity and ndecency.
The actor manager for a time
kept up the tone of the Amerl
can stage, but be finally gave
way to the manager.
The modern theater manager
and producer had behind him nc
traditions and in front of him nc
ideals. The stage to HIM is
merely a means to making
money. The box office controls
his ideas of art.
The first thing the business
managers did was to put filth
and nastin ess on the stage. One
vile play followed another, and
then we had cycle of "revels'
and burlesques, which were
nothing but the exposure o1
naked anatemy of women. Their
a lot of lewd-m inded men began
to produce plays, and they be-
came lower and lower, until We
had school known as bedroom
dramas.
The drama ln America has
been reduced to a money. grab
blng game and anything to geI
the money, no matter how indie.
cent, was reproduced bsa groul
of managers who are drew con
trolling most OF the theaters.
The only censor the MANAGE
tears is the police, and the po
lice don't care.
1t would be a good thing fol
real art in America if about four
tifths of the theaters were rur
out of the business, and maybe
run out of the country. Com,
