 There were but two dissenting votes at the meeting. It was understood these were registered by Winifred Lenihan. now appearing in the title role of George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan," and Richard Bennett.
 Included in the list of well known players who voted to back the Equity demands were Elsie Ferguson, Iau- rette Taylor, Jane Cowl and Ethel Barrymore.
 "This is no time for temporizing." Jane Cowl said. "We have tried to be fair. I am married to a manager, and I am part manager of my own production, but in a competition of this kind Jane Cowl, the manager would go down before Jane Cowl, the actress"
 T consider the proposition which Equity made fair and reasonable" Miss Barrymore telegraphed from Rochester, N. Y. We must stand together as VIC did in 1919 and as We always will"
 If we were in the place Of the managers, knowing what we do of the business. we would grant the actors what they are asking" Elsie Ferguson said.
