was ouCCSSo HI III CnlcagO coming to
New York. 1 have just discussed the
venture with several intimates and
associates connected with the theatre

Chicago Mikado", coming to New York
to compete with the commercial YER
sion of the same name that is being

hundreds of actors not on WPA out of
work. These actors have kept off the
relief rolls due to their pride and other
reasons, therefore in all fairness to
them the Chicago company should NOT
be permitted to come to New Yorl,

Robinson holding two jobs at the same
time, while other actors are without

York from another city and deprive
the professional actors of a decent.
