New York. Sept H.-rhe strike of

mask OF the stage star-and indeed
many Of the Big Illusions Of foot
hgat life are fading. In the public
thought. there has always been a
touch Of the mystic about the actor.
Inc audiences never got a "close-

were coatless and sweating-you may
believe 1t or. not. but there Is some
thing about romance and sweat that
will not mix.
The astute manager knows the
value OF hiding the star. No one
ever saw Maude Adams walking
along Broadway Or Fifth avenue. SO

seen outside OF TIE lambs or Players
or the Claridge Grill.
Actor folk have always been
thought a rling apart because they
acted. See them close and they are
no different from your grocer. or
your college professor or your drug

the strike changed. A lot Of ticket
spectators went back to the plumb

The hfty-four oleva tors in the Met

some tenants walked UP fifty floors
The most peculiar thing. however
was the fear OF scores when they
realized they could not get down TO
