NEW YORK, August §.—The second | phase of the walkout ordered by the Musical Mutual Protective Associa- tion came today, when musicians em- ployed in approximately 100 vaude- ville theaters were ordered to.stay out Bf the orchestra pits. Most of the vaudeville managers claimed to be ready with new orchestras, recruited from the ranks of the Amerlcan Fed- eration of Musicians. Moving picture houses felt the force of the walkout yesterday when or- chestras failed to report, under an or- der of the union effective Saturday at midnight. Movie managers met the situation in various ways. Some em- ployed new orchestras, while others relied on pianos or organs. Vocalists were featured at some houses. In others the orchestra pits were con- verted into flower gardens. The walkout was ardered as a pre test against a proposed wage redu tion, and was intended, union officials said, to forestall a lockout which the managers were declared to have | planned for tomorrow.
