informed him that he was not only
through with America, but through
with the theater forever. Whereupon
Mcclellan laughed and talked some
more and then some more, until 1t came
about that Ames had agreed to the
engagement by the time they landed
IN England, and returned with Mr..
Mcclellan to New York, where he made
ms MUSICAL comedy debut in a piece
called "Glittering Gloria" at Daly's
Theatcr.
Following this experience came an
engagement with Nance O'Neill in re-
pertory, during which period Mr.. Ames
met Jimmy Powers and appeared with
him at the Casino in Havana" Then
came his long association with Laurette
Taylor In both America and England
HIS association with Wallace Eddin.

example of how completely his various
engagements in important plays and
ms numerous associations with famous
Ioik seemed to be governed by chance.

an and heard all about "OAicer 666."
there wasn't any part In 1t for Ames.
but Mr.. Eddinger told him il he would
come with him a part would be written
into 1t for him.
Returning to London for rest IN
the summer of 1914 Mr.. Ames once
more travelled with his friend Chance.
Tor hardly had he landed on the other
side than George Mcclellan and Lea
Shubert nearly ran him down In n
car as he was emerging from the alley
way which leads from the Savage Club
into the Strand. Nothing would do
tnese two gentlemen but that MIR. Amcs
should appear with Sam Bernard in
The Belle OF Bond Street." which was
then in rehearsal for London produc-
tion at the Adelphi Theater. So It
happened that once again Mr.. Ames was
back on tho stage instead of getting
the rest he craved, and all within ten
days OF his landing in England.
In o very similar manner did Mr..
Ames return to his association with
Laurrette Taylor, for it was while walk.

would you work any the less to make
1t a good Joke instead of bad one 7"
Count Tolstoy's reply was, In part, as
follows:
II have received your play and your
witty letter. have read your play
with pleasure. am in full sympathy
with its subject. Your remark that the
preaching Of righteousness has gener-
ally little influence on people and that
young men regard as laudable that
which Is contrary to righteousness Is
quite correct. It does not, however,
follow that such preaching is unneces-
sary. The reason Of the failure Is that
those who preach do not fulHll what
they preach--namely, hypocrisy.
"Concerning the rest Of what you say
about God and about Evil, will repeat
the words I said. as you write,
about your Man and Superman,'
namely, that the problem about God
and evil is too important to be spoken
Of In jest. And therefore will tell you
frankly that received a very painful
impression from the concluding words
o. your letter: Suppose the world were
only one Of Gods jokes, would you work
any the less to make it good joke in
stead Of bad oneT"

Tolstoy was much interested In the

Comparing the schooling which ac-
tors received in the earlier days with
the schooling received now, Mr.. Fer
guson believes that while the old
actors were better trained in the stock
companies, the present-day actors are
learning much by observation of other
actors.
"The actors Of to-day learn through
their eyes and ears. They stand in the
wings and look at the other actors and
learn. I don't believe Edwin Booth

The following timely appeal is published in a
leaflet by the Central Labor Union OF Philadel-
phia, which requests labor organizations to re-
print it and distribute it as widely as possible:
"The open shop is the open road to disaster for
organized workers 1t is the open road to mastery
by the employing class. That is why intelligent
workingmen oppose it, that is why employing
masters favor it.
"For workingmen it is the entering wedge by
which organization is slowly stranged, wages are
reduced hours heightened and the 'ank and file
are reduced to servie submission to heartless
BOSSES
Nowhere else in the modern world do the
employing masters oppose the union shop as they
do here A tremendous drive is being made by the
employing class all over the country to crush
unionsm. Millions of dollars have been contrib
uted for the purpose. Quietly gathering their
forces, getting the aid of chambers of commerce
and civic organizations, the masters of industry
seek to establish unchallenged domination through
the ''open shop 4+
"In England this struggle has been long ago
fought to conclusion, The same is true Of Can
ada In both countries the right of organization
of shop and factory mine and mill, is conceded.
1t has been eliminated from the. realm of con-
troversy. But the workingmen of free America
ere forced to fight for an elemental right that is
taken for granted in countries where monarchy
itself still survives.
"The open shop is related to 'Americanism' by
our enemies. No more Grass hypocrisy has ever
/. been displayed The slave pens of the Gary steel
trust,are typical examples of open-shop American
ism Although the eight-hour day has been long
ago conceded in the steel industry Of England,

THE OPEN SHOP

Germany and other countries, the United States
is the only country in the world where working
men work II hours per day and seven days
week This is open-shop 'Americanism.'
Organization is forbidden. He who talks it is
discharged. He who attempts to organize is. slug
ged. Spies of the companies swarm in the MILL
They stink in the streets, in the pool-rooms, in the
movies at public gatherings, everywhere that
workingmen gather the company spy is present.
Suspicion, fear dstrust and hatred brood over the
workers. The friend working by their side may be
a spy. Life is filled with this brooding menace
that dogs their heels This is open-shop American
ISM
"Welfare work Of the open-shop masters Of
Garyism is substituted for unionisn, together
with the company union Homes are purchased
from the company by the workers on easy pay
ments When real strike comes this welfare
work is seen to be scourge to whip the slaves
back to their pens. The workers are evicted from
their homes except those who consent to betray
their brothers by going to work. 1t places pre-
MUM on treachery. This is open-shOp 'Ameri-
canism.'
'The company union is plaything Of the en-
ployment masters. The workers organize like
sheep under the eyes of the Bosses Officials are
chosen to preside over this abortion of unionism.
Any genuine grievances cannot be discussed under
the eyes of theagents of the masters. He who at
tempts it soon finds that he is discharged for
some trivial reason. The workers are cowed. They
submit to injustice and mercless robbery. This is
open-shop Americanism'
