backed by Rumanian acquieseence, as.
serts that anti-semetism is a natural
reaction from Bolshevism. It is de-

Equity Members HeckIe Speak.
ers and Spoil Victory"
Meeting:

NEW, YORK. Sept. s.-while along
broadway yesterday actors hailed
the settlement Of the theatrical
strike as a sweeping victory for the
Actors Equity Association, dissatis-
fiction was loudly voiced at q Vic
tary Celebration" at the Lexington
TheateT
Heckling Of speakers and violent
oatbuFsts Of protest against the open
shop. the Actors Fidelity League, and
the veil of secrecy which the strikers
say surrounds the agreement with
the MANAGERS, disturbed the meeting.
Cries OF disapprovaL were made by
many actors and actresses over the
terms Of settlement with the man
ayers, as ,unofficiRHy announced.
Even greater Dissatisfaction was
aroused by the apparent reticence OF
the Equity leaders TO divulge the
exact terms on which peace had been
arranged. n
Early in the proceedings Paul Tur-
neF, chief counsel for the Equity AS
soeiation, was repeatedly interrupted
by demands that the contract made
with the managers be read:
Mr.. Turner explained that he did
not have the contract with him. but
he said he would send for a copy.
Mr.. Turner said the "keynote" Of
the agreement was an arbitration
clause The second great point, he
explained, was there will be no dis
orinination against Equity members.
This again, drew the hre Of his heck
leFs.
+ with the trouble between man
ayers and actors settled and the the
aters reopening as fast as the com
panies can be got. together, the The
atrical DooFmenis Union Threatened
yesterday TO close up ell the theaters
and moving picture houses in the
city.
Frank Rothenstein, organizer Of the
union, said that 5000 theater and
movie house doormen will strike
within two weeks IT, their demands
fer wage increases are not granted.
The demands are for &S6 a week in
stead Of the $3.50 they now receive.

Appeal for Foster Parents

One of the most appealing of the

Launched this month, asking for
foster parents for 10000 little war
orphans of France. Mrs. Walter S.
Brewster, wife of the Roumanian
Consul to Chicago, Chairman of the
Chicago Committee and Vice Presi-
dent of the National Committee of
The Fatherless Children of France,
has charge of the promotion of this
campaign.
Mrs. Brewster has just returned

the devastated regions of France,

vided her with military escort and
bestowed upon her every courtesy
during her visit to the war zone.

that has not been dynamited, fac

Still the people of the north tell

Dear Madam-Will you kindly pub
lish in your paper what would be an
appropriate gift to give to male friend
of mine who is a Philadelphia tennis
crack, for his birthday? He will be
thirty years of age, and ] would like to
give him something that suits his years.
He has most everything in jewelry.
= ROSY CHEEKS:
II your friend is n tennis player pm
sure he would appreciate a cover for
his racket, especially if you made it
yourself or embroidered his monogram
on it in white silk. Make it of dark
green or blue denim, so that it will not
get soied easily. Even if he did not
have everything in jewelry it would not
he appropriate for YOU 70 give him jew
cIry unless you are engaged to him. A
silk handkerchief. a necktie or a good
book would also be nice to give him. A
silver pencil or good fountain pen are
always appreciated by man, too.
