STRIKE BY ACTORS
NOW SEEMS NEAR
Equity Association Angered
by Refusal of Producers
to Arbitrate.

The possibility OF a strike by actors
rical business of the country became
stronger than ever yesterday following
the meeting held by tho council of the
Actors Equity Association to consider
the latest refusal OF the Producing Man
ayers Association to appoint a Joint
board Of arbitration with the players.
After the meeting Frank Gilmore, ex-
ecutive secretary for the actors body. de-
clined to state for the present what
measures had been discussed by the
council as response to the managerial
attitude. While saying that no plans
had been formulated for a strike at
present. he indicated that the actors
feel they have the instrumentality in
their hands to bring about such a walk
out II they wish.
"A strike won't occur for the present.
he said. land it may not occur at all.
But II such a method should be adopted
our recent afiiliation with the American
Federation OF Labor would enable U.S. by
agreement. to call out the stage hands.
electricians and thea rical employees
only by arrangement with the various
unions representing these classes of
workers.
Before we Joined the Federation OF
Labor 1t would have been impossible for
us TO start a sympathetic strike OF the
theatrical industry, by arrangement or
otherwise"
A hint OF future trouble which the
actors consider they have In store for
the managers was contained in theS
letter to the managerial body. which
evoked the rebuff from the produce35
and which was made public following
the meeting of the Actors Equity AS
ISOLATION yesterday. One paragraph OF
this. after requesting the appointment OF
the joint committee, said:
Before we take any action or make
and definite plan OF campaign which
must inevitably lead to bitter struggl e
and which may result in severlng for all
time the friendly personal reia tons ex-
isting between managers and actors, we
earnestly make the request that this
Joint committee promptly find a means
of obtaining continuous cooperation in
stead of constant pickering"
This communication drew from the
managers at their meeting on Tuesday
a refusal based on the contention that
such a conference had been made impos
sble by the recent action OF the Actors
Equity Association In bringing into theil
councils men who have proved In the
past neither friend to the actor nor &c
the managers, men who have thriveC
only In the fostering OF bitterness anC
discord where 1t did not previously eX
list" L. Lawrence Weber. secretary o.
the managers organization. pointed on
also that the managers had already
drawn up a form OF contract which they
considered will as nearly approximate
equity as possible.

to-day after a months severe illness.
lie wac Sc years old. His wife and
brother. survive him.
Back In the plug hat days when I'm
Gle Toms Cabin" was knocking New
York audiences of their seats and
before East Lynne" was sent out upon
the road George H. Primrose was the
sensation that Flo Ziegfelds show is to-
day.
Primrose was born in London On
tario, November IL, 1852. Somehow or
other he became a member OF Nc
Farland's Ministries when he was l. years
old and was ushered upon Detroit
audience as soft shoe dancer" re-
putedly the first of his kind. He sang,
danced and joshed his way around the
country for several years with various
ephemeral troups and gradually gained
considerable name for himself. He
soon became the star of the famous
Haverly troupe and toured with them
for several years.
Before he was 25 he was one of the or
ganizers of the famous Thatcher, Prinn-
rose and West Minstrels. undoubtedly the
most important outfit of it's class in its
uay. II neld the boards Tor a score OF sea-
sons. Later he AFFILIATED himself with
Lew Dockstader and shared with that
famous minstrel stellar honors in the
Primrose and Dockstader organization.
He was always a blackface comedian
whether in the Ministries or in vaude-
vile. He was one OF the first to talk"
songs, although his fame rested more
| upon his dancing than his ability to
sing"
The first Mrs. Primrose died in 1908
| In 1904 he married Esther Nerney Of
San Francisco and thereafter his marital
| life was not altogether smooth. The
second Mrs. Primrose n concert singer,
| sued for divorce in July, 1910, and won
a separation. In the following July
Primrose sought divorce from her.
| This suit was dropped and in October.
| 1911, the two appeared to be reconciled
In 1913 Primrose obtained separa-
! tion from Mrs. Primrose and from then
until January, 1915. the pair spent most
| of their time in sundry courts. The
sum total of results amounted to an alb
| solute divorce for Mrs. Primrose.
| Not at all discouraged, the minstrel
married again. In April. 1916. Prim.
rose. then 60 years old, took Miss Viola
Katherine Trueblood. his secretary, as
| his bride. She was 81. Their married
| life appears to have been happy.
