ANCIENT ACTORS WELL Paid
Researches Show That Oldtime Enter.
tanners Were by No Means made
quateIy Rewarded.

Enormous salaries Of actors today
are looked upon as a modern ihnOva-
ton, growing with the development of
the American millionaire and the i'm
aginatiOn of the American press agent.
Such is not the case, says Robert Man
tell, who in his studies in the prepare
ton of his classic repertoire has
come across many bits Of curious in
formation, observes the Buffalo EX-
press. The Roman actor RosciuS
whose name has become synonymous
with all that is marvellous in a player,
earned a salary which, according to
Mr.. Mantell, puts that warm friend Of
Cicero quite in a class with Charlie
Chaplin. Roscius drew about S160
daily in the money of his time, which
had a purchasing power equivalent to
nearly 81 800 in United States money,
even without the aid of the war and
the patriotism Of the restaurant men.
That brings his annual salary to the
half-million mark. Another actor, the
tragedian AesOpus, not to be confound-
ed with the writer of fables, and who
also was friend Of Cicero, received so
great salary that he left a vast for
tune to his son. When Emperor YES
pasian repaired the theater of Marcel
lGs he gave the tragedfan Apollinaris
(whom a Winter garden comedian
might dub "the father of waters")
$4,000 to appear there, but the length
Of his services Is not stated. To each
Of two harpists in the company. Ter
pinus and Diodorus, he gave $4,000,
and no player received less than ST.
600. In addition, he made the actors
numerous special presents Of money,
always gold.
Coming down to more recent times
and more modest amounts, but still
comparable with salaries of today, Da-
vid Garrick drew at the height Of his
popularity $3.50 a night. Macready in
1889. when he staged for the first time
"Richelieu," was paid $125 a night,
and Miss Ellen Tree, about the same
period, drew the same salary.

out of the army in 60.
Mathews made part of the march to
the sea through Georgia with Sher-

new ERA IS seen FOR
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, April 90 Development
of the great Missippi Valley stretching
from the Rockies to the Alleghenys.
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf,
was urged today by John M. Parker,
of New Orleans, president Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley association at its first
annual convention. He spoke OF the
new era" unfolding for prosperity or
the valley. :,
In the past he said, the valley had
been made tributary to the Atlantic
sea board, railroad lines of high resist
ance had been established during what
he called the Second period OF trans
portation which had carried the pro-
ducts of the country from west to
east largely; even the trend of thought
had been educated to an east-and-WesS
movement" The first period he
mentioned was that of pioneer water
transportation. OF the third-the new
era-he said:
This third period involves the use
of our waterways in conjunction with
our easy grade rail lines, the efflclent
development of our gulf ports, the ef-
ficient use of our American merchant
marine, and easy access to the world 5
new markets of great promlse-Mexi-
CO, Central and South America, Africa,
Oceiana and the Orient. The Panama
Canal opens the way"

Surveyor Will Take Census
Of Traffic in County

A traffic census Of Wayne county,
to determine just exactly how much
traffic each county road bears, and of
what class, will be taken by County
Surveyor Howard Horton some time
during the next summer.
Horton Is going to send man to
each of the main roads In the county
who will spend several days at differ
ent times enumerating the passing
traffic on each road. He will take
the number of vehicles, whether au-
tomobiles or horse-drawn, whether
pleasure or commercial vehicles, the
direction of travel and whether they
belong to tourists or local persons.
Besides being of value and interest
to the county commissioners and road
men in mapping out the county pro-
gram, Horton expects to use these re-
ports to show the state highway COM
mission the importance Of the roads
entering and leaving Wayne county,
when the commission decides which
of the county roads to take over under
the county unit law.
The National road, east and west,
the Newcastle pike, the Middleboro
pike, the Chester pike, the National
road south, the Boston pike and the
Liberty pike probably will be includ-
ed in the census.

ROSSELLI DEFENDS
ITALY COURSE AT
CHICAGO MEETING

Lieut.. Brute Roselli of the Italian
army who spoke on two different oc-
casions in Richmond, tore the lid of
the banquet of the Chicago Italian
Chamber Of Commerce Monday night
with an impassioned denunciation OF
the turn of affairs at the Paris peace
conference.
Throwing all caution to the winds,
and announcing that the time had
come for Italians to speak the truth
regardless of the consequences, he
launched into an eloquent tribute to
Italian arms. Then he defended the
secret treaty of London, assailed those
who are indulging their gushing SEN
timent" for Jugo-Slavia, and finally,
sweeping the big banquet audience on
its feet, he dramatically promised that
Italian soldiers are ready to return
to the trenches and fight the whole
world alone, even if every man OF
them should be killed.
He assailed the press OF the United
States for it's seeming anti-ltalian at
titude, said it was worse than North.
cliffe's press in London, called the
American correspondents "nincom-
poops" and declared that whether Boil
shevism or ruin should be Italy's fate,
did not matter SO long as honor
and self respect" were maintained.

employment service for returned sol
diers, sailors and marines announc-
ed Wednesday that there was plenty
OF work In Richmond and vicinity.
Hewson has worked out plan
whereby he can place a service man
In work to which he is best suited
and fitted to fill. He works on the vo-
cational plan by first learning what
the service man Is qualified to do and
has been doing in the past. Hewson
has secured the cooperation of heads
of Richmond industries in securing
work for service men.
Only few men have APPLIED at the
Y. M. C. A. for Hewson's services,
but this he says is because Of the
few hundred Wayne county men back,
the majority returned to their old jobs
and went to work Hewson said that
any service man calling at the Y. M.
C. A. any hour OF the day could leave
his application for work and he would
locate a Job for him.
