ACTORS IN BRITAIN
ASK EQUITYS ADVICE
Problem of Stranded Players
Brings Call for Help From
U. S. Group.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 5-English actors
and actresses have called for help from
America and have asked John Emerson.
president of the Actors Equity Associa-
ton, New York. to tell them how to
solve their troubles with producers and
managers.
A long accumulated list of stranded
actors out of work far from London
minus car fare home finally has brought
a call for joint meeting of the Stage
Guild and Actors Association, to be
held october 8. at which Emerson will
tell the Britishers of the success Of
Equity.
Il can't do anything. of course" En-
erson said today. They have to get
together first. and then if the expert
ence Of the American Equity is of any
help l shall be glad to tell them, but I
can't organize them
Many of the more prominent British
actors have tried for years to merge
the guild and association in an effort
to get one efficient organization that
would protect actors in bankrupt shows
and force producers to place bond COW
ering a fortnight's salary and travelling
expenses, as is done by Equity.

TAXICAB GROUP OBJECTS
TO RESTRICTIVE ORDER
Transfers and Chauffeurs Protest
Rule Barring H-Tag Vehicles
From r and G Streets.

posal of Inspector e. W. Brown to bar

lation barring taxicabs bearing H tags

interfere with the livelihood of these
taxicab drivers and we respectfully
request that you give this protest your

not yet reached the Commissioners for
consideration.

been for the influence of powerful friends she

warning and punishment, she was given a

was quietly hushed up and to this day the

flaming incarnation Of all the wit and gayety
Of the Latin races With her bewitching per-
Sonality, her inimitable mannerisms and her
musical voice, she had only to step on the
stage in one Of the popular comedies and the
audience went wild with delight For 20 years
she reigned supreme in her own field Kings,
princes and grand dukes paid court to her.
The dramatists fell at her knees to persuade
her to play in their pieces. She lived in queen
ly style in huge apartment facing the Tuil-
leries Gardens. She saved large fortune and
Paris worshiped her.
But behind all this glitter of fortune and
success grim tragedy stalked her footsteps.
In her early days in Paris Eve had married
Samuels, theatrical manager, and this un-
happy union ended in divorce. She had two
children, girl and boy. The daughter, who
had been named Louise, after the famous
Duchess de Lavalliere, favorite of Louis XIV,
fell into the hands Of an adventurer. This
man broke her heart and wasted her fortune
during few months Of marriage, and Ewes
daughter died. Her son also suffered mis-
fortunes.
The same Ill fortune pursued the comedi-
enne in her later love affairs. Many men killed
themselves when she refused to marry them,
and an English comedian was killed by his own
father when he announced that he was going
to marry her.
Success had brought her fame but not hap
piness. With the passing years she dreamed
more and more of a perfect lover, of some one
who loved her for herself and not for her
reputation.
The war and the sudden departure of her
German admirer formed the last straw that
finally turned her heart against the world
IKE That's, Eve Lavalliere crossed the paths
Of holy man and from that moment she
was transformed.
1t was in Touraine in 1916 She had rented
q small castle there in order to take a long

One night she sat on a park bench in Mar

her tale Of woe and then took her along to
Paris with his company.

Yet there remains unsolved the mystery that
yelled the latter life of this exotic stage mower
what impelled her to vanish from the public
view at the height of her fame and devote the
remaining years of her career on earth to aims
among the poor and the life OF rehgious
recluSe. -

was she seeking surcease for a broken heart
after some flaming love affair such as con-
sumed Eeonora Duse after her affair with
Gabrielle d'Annunzio, or Ida Rubinstein, who
fled into the wilds after an unfortunate ro-
nance?
Or was Eve Lavalliere driven from the stage
and virtually banished into exile on account
of an affair with a German aristocrat and the
frowns of her fellow countrymen when the
Great War broke upon the world and France
and Germany found themselves arrayed against
each other?

still seeking the honest affection she had
never known, 1.-The man" came into her life

der proved to be perfect lover He waited
on her like stricken youth, lavished exquisite
gifts on her and kept her boudoir filled with
magnificent flowers. When Eve appeared in
new play he was always in the front row
with the finest bouquet he could obtain. The
two became nseparable always going out to
social affairs together. When she was with
him all the horrible specters of the past that
haunted her fled to their abyss. Eve was
supremely happy and her future was rosy with
hope when the tragic blow fell.
Suddenly like thunderbolt, war burst upon
Europe on August l. 1914, and by few pen
strokes signed to ultimatums these two were
arrayed on opposite sides in the bitter struggle
They parted with bitter tears. The German
returned to his fatherand on the diplomatic
train with the remainder of the embassy staff
to don generals uniform. In spite of her
hatred for Germany, the Frenchwoman was
crushed by the brusque separation and for
months she remained almost an invalid Then
gradually she returned to her profession, and
In the Spring of 1915 started to tour France
with war play called "The Wounded Bird"
BY chance, perhaps, she took her company
INTO Switzerland and, by another strange
hazard he went there on leave and INST her
French spies Immediately reported this news
to Paris, where it caused great scandal in
official circles. In all probability it was simply
lovers rendezvous, arranged in advance but
in the intense war fever of the time it ap-
peared very sinister. Returning to France
Eve found that an official investigation had
