Other Managers Not

Say They Will Continue in
Business Despite His Threat

Contrary to the announcement Of
FIorenz ziegfeld. Jr.. that ne would stop
producing here in 1924 because of
trouble with the Actors Equity Asso-
ciation. other leading managers In
dicated yesterday THAT they intend to
keep on presenting shows. Though most

fhis attitude was in contrast to that
taken during the strike in 1919. when
Some announced they would quit the
show business If Equity won. George

assertion on this side of the Atlantic.

American managers over there by then
that there won't be room for me-"
At the office of A. L. Erlanger the
belief was general that nothing short
of cataclysm of nature could prevent
him from producing. A similar view was
expressed by William Harris, Jr.

myself" he said, this firm has been

utterly bad business"
Charles Frohman, Inc. under the
leadership Of Gilbert Miller, was re-
garded by an inside representative as
likely to continue. George c. Tyler also
was said to be un6aunted. From Charles
Dillinghams office came the explanation
that instead of taking good American
productions to London he expected to
continue to bring good London produc-
tions to America"

Never before since he had taken mp

MacCauley found the hours so long
and so difficult TO live through. Day
after day he canoed to the place Tony

turn to Ithaca more at sea than ever.
He had the sickening idea that the
girl he had grown TO love was again

Their and Reginald Brown.
Tony, too, began to lose the high
spirits that had returned almost I'M
medately after her escape from the
canal boat. The gray eyes grew dark

have lost the power to smile.
Paul Pendlehnven noted all this with
apprehension. He questioned the girl
