Reports of Committees.

Secretary D. Macdonald read the min¬
utes of the last meeting which were ap¬
proved. _ Reports were made bv the var¬
ious officers covering the work accomplish-
2 e L he Pilous meeting and the ac¬
tion of the executive committee in ac¬
cepting seven new members was ratified.

On the proposition to amend the by¬
laws there was some discussion which led
to the conclusion that the by-laws were
satisfactory and not in need of amend-

fered by the interested parties seeking
the abolishment of the branches. The
discussion 'of this proposition held the
convention up to 6:30 o’clock Saturday
evening, when it was decided to take a
recess till 11 o'clock Sunday morning.

Members and Guests Dined.

Shortly after recess the members and
their guests sat down to an elaborate
luncheon in the hotel dining room, where
a particularly dainty and toothsome menu
was discussed. Toward the finish the
officers and some of , the more prominent
members of the association were loudly
cheered and. as a fitting climax to the
occasion, William H. Swanson, of Chi¬
cago, was induced to make his “opening”
for the “Black top,” which he did with
characteristic flourish, much to the
amusement of the company.

At the conclusion of the festivities the
party boarded four big “rubberneck”
automobiles and were whirled away to
Coney Island where, under the guidance
of W. T. Rock, they had free run of
Dreamland, which was kept open until
long after the official closing hour. Here
the Spirit of fun took possession of every¬
body and a jolly time was had.

Referred to Executive Committee.

The association members gathered at
1 o’clock Sunday and the discussion of
the branch office question resumed. It
was decided- that all branches should be
entered as separate franchises and the
matter was referred to the executive
committee for further inquiry and report.
The convention adjourned at 7 p. m.

The association members began to
straggle into New York on Thursday;
more_ came on Friday and by Saturday
morning there was a good hundred
sauntering abc-ut the lobby of the hotel.
The sooners amused thmeslves in various
ways. On Friday evening a party was
entertained by W. T. Rock, of the Vita-
graph Compahy, at Coney Island, and
another party, chaperoned by P. L.
Waters, of the Kinetoscope company, en¬
joyed a dinner at Martin’s and a sight¬
seeing tour of the white light district.

Mr. Aiken, of Chicago-; Mr. Rowland
of Pittsburg, and Mr.. Singhi, of Phila¬
delphia, were accompanied by their wives
adn, at the dinner and the trip to Coney,
Mrs. Rowland, Mrs.. Aiken and Mrs. H. L.
Miles and Mrs. W. T. Rock were in the
party.

Mr. and Mrs. Rock Entertain.

Mr. and Mrs. Aiken and Mr. and Mrs.

The delegates,'generally, ntaije the most
of their opportunity to see New York
from all sides as, with many of them,
this was their first trip to the big city.
Coney Island, especially, was a revelation.

Robert Lieber, of ‘Indianapolis, brought
with him the evidences of patriotism In

shooting fire crackers on the Fourth.

When the. convention was not in ses¬

able chairs in the lobby and cafe of the
Prince George being especially well
adapted to these little trade tete-a-tetes.

eighteen head of baggage stock since the

Charles Emerson Cook of New York,
the newly elected Abbott of all Friars, is
known in the theatrical business as the
general press representative of David
Belasco. He is one of the big fellows of
the business, and is as popular as he is
big. Mr. Cook is author of the lyrics of the
Red Feather, and several other musical
successes. He also wrote the Friars’ song,
which is sung by all good Friars every
Friday night wherever two or more of
them may be assembled. It is to the
enthusiastic efforts of Mr. Cook, that the
Friars now possess their beautiful home
on West Forty-fifth street. New York

Clara Palmer in Song Show.

When The Top of the World came to
the St'udebaker July 4 Clara Palmer, a
soubrette with a reputation, played the
part Anna Laughlin has been filling in
the musical comedy. Miss Palmer is re¬
membered as the chief delight in Miss
Pocahontas and as James T. Powers’
principal aid in The Blue Moon.

T HE White Rats of America, which organization, by the way, is made
up of the rank and file of the vaudeville profession and an important
factor in that enjoyable form of amusement, held a mass meeting
in Chicago a few days ago and discussed with vigor and earnestness matters
pertaining to their craft. The principal subjects for discussion were the
various clauses of contracts which vaudeville performers are compelled to
sign and which they assert are arbitrary and pecu¬
liarly one-sided in that they throw the balance of
Troubles of power upon the managers and booking agents and

Should be^ S make of the performers themselves mere automata.

Arbitrated. Without conceding the absolute truth of all that was

said in this connection at the mass meeting, we think
that the managers and booking agents ought in fair¬
ness to the performers and in the furtherance of the
interests of all concerned, to carefully weigh the evidence advanced in sup¬
port of the contention that the vaudeville contracts, as they are at present,
are contrary to the principles of justice and fair play. It is asserted that
the contracts made by the booking agencies with the performers are violated
at will by the party of the first part, the agents and managers, without suit¬
able compensation being advanced to the party of the second part, the per¬
former. It also is claimed that if a performer violates his contract he is
arbitrarily deprived of employment thereafter.

We have heard of these complaints many times, but, acting on the theory
that there are two sides to every question, we have refrained from com¬
menting upon the subject one way or another, until the dispute reached the
stage it now occupies. Secretary Mountford of the White Rats asks that
the questions at issue between the managers, agents and performers be
arbitrated. This is no unreasonable demand, and if the managers, agents
and performers aforesaid are as wise as we think they are, the troubles will
be soon adjudicated satisfactorily. The two parties in the squabble are
interdependent and their interests are mutual. The vaudeville magnates
cannot afford to antagonize the performers any more than the performers
can battle with the managers without paying the penalty that inharmony
between affiliated interests inexorably exacts. That an early settlement of
the disputes is necessary cannot be denied; that it will be advantageous to
all concerned must be conceded by everyone conversant with the situation.
By all means, arbitrate.

PROGRESSIVE JEWELRY FIRM.

I T is with regret that the friends and admirers of Julia Marlowe learn that
her health is almost completely shattered, due primarily to the publicity
given her by being drawn into the meshes of a divorce suit instituted
by a woman against her husband who once was connected with the press
department of the Marlowe company. Innocent of the charges which re¬
flected upon her character. Miss Marlowe suffered a nervous breakdown and,
although later exonerated by her accuser, she con¬
tinues to grieve sorely at the adverse fate which cast

Julia Marlowe, a stain upon her fair name.

Scandal Victim, How a woman may protect herself against scandal
Still Struggles and punish him who without adequate cause assails

Under Burden. her character, is a question worthy of the deepest

consideration. That there is virtually no redress is at
once deplorable and a reflection upon the laws which
control society. When scandal involves the innocent it often is as deadly
as the stilletto. Georgia Cayvan, falsely accused of improper conduct, died
of a broken heart. Julia Marlowe, exonerated by the woman who accused
her, still suffers and strains under the weight of her woe which even the
most complete exoneration fails to lessen. The injury done her is irrep¬
arable, but if the sympathy of thousands whose friendship and love vainly
seek to sustain her, may serve to assuage her pangs, then her restoration
to health is a matter of a short while. That she may soon be herself again
is the devout wish of every man and woman who admires integrity, truth,
justice and art, attributes which have raised Julia Marlowe to the proud
position she now occupies in the dramatic world and which have made her
socially as well as professionally a shining example of what her sex is
capable of achieving in the higher walks of life.

The appellate court of Brooklyn, N. Y., in an opinion filed June 30 holds
that a moving picture show on Sunday does not desecrate the Sabbath. A
year ago a Brooklyn minister caused the proprietor of a moving picture
theater to be fined $100 for desecrating the Sabbath. The case was appealed
and Justice Gaynor reversed the decision and in support thereof used the fol¬
lowing language anent the law in the case:

When it is considered that nowhere outside of the
British Isles has the Old Testament notion of a still
Sabbath ever existed in the Christian world it is im¬
possible to attribute to the aggregate Christian mind,
as rather fairly represented in our Legislature, with such
a varied national lineage in its membership, any such
purpose. Christians of no nation, church or sect, ever
entertained the Old Testament notion of a still Sab¬
bath, but favored and practiced innocent and healthy exercises and amuse¬
ments after church on Sunday. John Knox visited John Calvin of a Sunday
afternoon at Geneva and found him out back at a game of bowls on the
green. * * *

So the judgment of the court by which the $100 fine was imposed is
reversed, and the picture show will persist in Brooklyn with impunity and
imtnunity. Whether Knox participated in the game of bowls in which he
found Calvin engaged at Geneva, Justice Gaynor does not say. As moving
picture shows were not among the attractions of those days, they missed
some experiences.

I repeat that the marvelous
Synchroscope is the coming
thing in the moving picture
business. It is positively and
absolutely the only thing on
the market that makes the
moving picture machine and
the phonograph work IN
PERFECT UNISON. It
gives a whole show without
hiring a single actor. You can
learn to run it in half an hour,
and while running it YOU
DON’T HAVE 1 O LOOK
AT YOUR SCREEN ON
YOUR PHONOGRAPH.
The Synchroscope is ABOUT
THE SIZE OF AN ALARM
CLOCK, so you see you don’t
need any extra space for in¬
stalling it. All you have to
do is to WATCH THE DIAL
and turn the moving picture
machine according to the little
indicator. It is so simple that
it is funny. It gives such a
perfect performance that it is
amazing. Every man who
has seen it in my demonstrat¬
ing room in Chicago has gone
wild about it. It sells itself on
sight because it doesn’t take
much of a prophet to foresee
the wonderful possibilities of it.
Within a year’s time you’ll be
forced lo fave a Synchroscope
in ,order to stay in the moving
picture business. Instead of
waiting to be forced why on
earth don’t you GET INTO
THE GAME NOW AND
BE THE FIRST TO
HAVE IT IN YOUR
