STAGEsTARsT0 TO
FACE SLASHES
| INPAY CHECKS
Equity Association Agrees
That Lower Salaries or
Fewer Shows Essential.

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-with the
consent Of the Equity Association.
actors face a big cut soon in, the
large salaries they have been receiy-
ing. Last season various producers
let Il be understood that they would
take. such a step, but each seemed
waiting for the other to begin, and
salaries remained Just as high. Now
A. II. Woods has led the way in ask.
ing the players he is engaging for his
fall productions to take q cut, and
indications were today that other
managers would offer decreased pay
next season. The cut may run as
high as 80 per cent.
Woods adopted the unusual expe.
dent OF making an appeal to the gen.
eral body Of players, through the
Actors Equity Association, to accept
Q reduction. His plea ran, In part. as
follows:
"I have brought back about thirty
plays from Europe. / should like 10
do a great many of them, which
would be of advantage to Equity AS
well as to me, but can't do many OF
them II the fantastic salaries now
prevailing continue to prevail.
Percentage Suggested.
There 10 no evading this fact
the salaries Of actors are too high
for present conditions. They are
coming down. because force stronger
than Equity or the Producing Mar
ayers Association is going to bring
them down. It's an economic law. II
they don't come down there Is going
to be a very lean winter ahead for the
actor. / say this as a friend. not as
an opponent. of Equity"
The Equity expresses official ap.
proyal of the stand, with the sug-
gestion that probably the best solu.
ton would be for the actor to take a
smaller salary and percentage over q
certain amount" Mr.. Woods, how
ever, expressed the opinion that such
system would be applicable only TO
stars. He said: -.
81, am In favor Of giving the actor

in New York productions he be-
lieved it would be necessary to pay
just as much as ever.
John Golden did not favor a re.
duction in salaries, saying that
actors deserved all they got and
800 more"

A FATHERS INFLUENCE

"What will you take to drink 2" ask
ed waiter Of young lad who, for the
first time, accompanied his father To
a public dinner. Uncertain what "
say and feeling sure that he could not
be wrong II he followed his fathers
example, he replied, an take what
father takes"
The answer reached the fathers eai
and instantly the full responsibility OF
his position flashed on him. And the
father shuddered as the history Of sev-
eral young men, once as promising as
his own bright lad, and ruined by drink
started up in sudden warning before
him. Should his hopes be blasted, and
that open-faced lad be lost? But for
strong drink they might have been ac-
tive, earnest, good men; and II II could
work such ruin upon them, was his
own son safe? These thoughts passed
through his mind, and in q moment the
decision was made. "If the boy falls,
he will not have me to blame" and
then, in tones trembling with emotion,
and to the astonishment Of those who
knew hin, he said, "Waiter, I'll take
water" And from that day to this,
strong drink has been banished from
that mans home,
