as much personality as an adding ma

Bushman with character that suits his
rather stilted method and his manner of
speaking with the tremolo stop flutter-

MISS MARBURY OFFERS
RICHES TO PRODUCERS
Finds a Way to SaUe Money
for Theatres.

Miss Elisabeth Marbury. producer Of
plays, play broker and chairman of tho
Womens- Democratic State Committee.
announced yesterday that she has a
project to save the theatrical business
thousands of dollars. Miss Marbury
said no steps have been taken to COM
mercialize her idea, but she stands
ready to organize a company II 1t meets
with favor
Producing contractor is the name she
has bestowed on this latest of COM
mercial developments. II there had been
such O. medium when Henry Abbey lived
and when Charles Frohman was giving
the United States some Of its most sue
cessful plays those men would have died
wealthy instead of poor. Miss Marbury
said when explaining her new Idea at
her offices 33 West Forty-second street
"The producers and managers of to-
day are too busy with the artistic side
of their work to spare any time or
thought upon its commercial side." she
said. III there were some one to take
charge of the bids for scenery, proper
ties, furniture and costumes and who
would be able to estimate to dollar
the total cost of the production, and
agree to furnish everything and to be
responsible for the proper carrying out
of the agreement according to the
specifications called for In the contract
adding Zee of 10 per cent. on the total
amount as his compensation, the pro-
ducer would save a lot Of worry and
money.
Suppose manager needs hundred
or two hundred pairs of silk stockings
for production. Let his representative
receive bids and relieve the mind of the
Droflucer of thaaa d.staila Tho pro-
ducer can then devote his time to the
artistic part of the production and he
need not bother about any of the me-
chanical part.
II firmly believe that the introduction
or some efficient service as I suggest
would revoiutionize the theatrical busi-
ness"
