Plays and Players

A committee representing more than
I,oeo chorus girls met yesterday at the
hotel Clarige and decided that they
were not in favor of Strikes" "shut-
outs, closed shops" or "eight-hour
days" and that their attitude toward
managers was entirely different from
that of the "high-priced stars"
Florence Bruce, chairman of the
meeting, suggested calling up Frank
Gilmore, secretary of the Actors
Equity Association, to acquaint him
with the stand taken by the chorus.
Mr. Gilmore was informed, and told
Miss Bruce that his organization was
only trying to protect the actor on the
legitimate stage, adding, 'but, of
course, If you ladies of the chorus care
to organize. you might affiliate with

before Mr.. Gilmore finished, and one

Action Against Grouse
And City On Auto Deal
Seems to Haze "Fliuuered'

The sensational record, smashing
suit for slander which Mayor Dorsey
and Harry s. Medinets vehemently de-
clared they would bring against Ira r.
Grouse has apparently sustained a fiat
tire and seems to have lost about
thirty-eight of it's forty horse power
in the garage where political sensa-
tions so often breathe their last dying
gasp.
The same situation seems to hold
for the writ of certiorari which Max
A. Shapiro, garage proprietor, prom
ised to stop the purchase by the city
of Mack and a Selden motor sprink-
Ter after, he claimed, his bid on
Sanford truck had been ignored
Despite the fact that his attorney
Mednets, says that he has good
grounds for the writ, Shapiro has not
taken action which would bring the
matter to head.
1t has been intimated for some
time that the mayor and Medinets
would not take their action, but they
both said this morning that they had
not forsaken the suit. They are still
considering it, they claimed. Medi-
nets says that certain rights allowed
municipal officers, in his estimation,
saves Grouse from the suit, while the
mayor said that he had consulted with
another lawyer about the case and it
was still being considered.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-04-17

The suit was to have come out of
remark passed by Mr.. Grouse at a
committee meeting of the Board of
Alderman on April z, in which he
said that the mayor and Medinets had
fixed up a deal to sell a Mack truck
to the city.
The mayor had objected to the pro-
posed purchase by the city of Day-El-
der and Selden motor sprinklers. He
based his objection to the former on
the ground that 1t was unfit for the
work and that Grouse was interested
in the concern which sells the car.
The air was thick for a time and
when it cleared both Medinets and the
mayor declared that without doubt
they would continue with the threat
ened suit for SANDER. This was fol-
lowed by the declaration of Shapiro
that he would stop the purchase by
the city in view of the fact that his
bid on a Sanford truck had been ig-
nored by the alderman.
While Shapiro has passed the
buck to Medinets in his case the law
yer has in turn passed the buck back
to the garage man. There appears TO
be an underlying political machination
that has put crimp in the action.
Medinets declared this morning that
he stood with the mayor in their Joint
action and would follow whatever
COZ rse the exec it'te decided to adopt.

Patrolman Lester Underhill was off

Perth Amboy's quota in the Vic

here on Monday of next week will
be s1,254,100, these figures which
are official having been received
by General Campaign Chairman
Adrian Lyon. This will mean that,
estimating the population of this
city at $4,000. every man, woman
and child must buy notes amount
ing TO $26 or $27. AS there are
many who cannot afford to buy
bonds in this proportion. for every
member of the family, 1t will be
necessary for each to ''go the
limit" in subscribing for these four
year notes which will bring "a
per cent interest. Perth Amboy's
quota in this drive is almost one
quarter less than in the fourth
campaign when this city was ask
ed to subscribe to s1,672.000 worth
of the bonds. With this issue in
the form of short term notes draw

The finishing touches to the big
mass meeting which will be held in
the high school auditorium Monday
night following the street parade to
start off the campaign have-been add
ed by the speakers and meetings COM
mittee of which Albert Leon is chair
man. Three of the best speakers
loan meeting in this city have been
secured by the committee, they being
Hon. James w. McCarty, the presid-
ing judge of the court of common
pleas of Hudson county; Capt. Paul
Perigaud, president of the French
High Commissions; and Tedford H.
Cam, holder of the first congression-
al medal for valor awarded in the
war.
Judge McCarty is recognized as one
of the finest speakers in the state,
being particularly well known in
Masonic circles. OF late he has been
giving a lecture of considerable re-
nown on the life of Theodore Roose-
velt. The speakers committee feels
that it has been fortunate in securing
the services of such speaker for
this opening meeting.
Capt. Perigaud went through four
years of fighting In France with the
French army and 1t was only after
strenuous efforts on the part of the
cured, his services being in great de-
mand throughout the country.
The other speaker, 'ATed" Cam,
well known among followers of ath-
letics as holder of several swimming
records. is but twenty three. years old
and an ensign in the navy. Prior to
the war he was student at New York
University, but enlisted in the Naval
Reserve when this country entered the
war and was placed aboard the con-
verted yacht, May, on which the son
of Fighting Bob Evans was the skip
per, and it was through courageous
action on the part of Cam that his
ship was saved from disaster while
acting as an escort at Bordeaux.
Plans For Street Parade.
The plans for the street parade
which will precede the meeting, are
being formulated by Grand Marshal
John E. Toolan, who has written to
every fraternal organization in this
city requesting them to participate in
this demonstration. All units parad-
ing are requested to report at City
Hall Park at 6:30 o'clock Monday
night in order that the parade might
start promptly at o'clock.
The battalion band of the local mi
litia reserve will be out in full force
on the night of the parade and other
music will be furnished by bands and
