By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 18.—Thou- sands of actors and actresses—the exact number is in dispute—are tramping the streets of New York drearily hunt- ing for jobs. In what is generally described as the worst year the theater business in New York has ever experienced, 61 produc- tions of the 104 that opened were forced to the wall between August 1| and December 15. Nine shows, the majority of which | had been running hardly long enough for the odor of fresh paint to have evaporated from their scenery, closed in New York Saturday night, and today more than 100 players who had had parts in them joined the hopeless march from one theatrical agency to another. [2 In addition, five producers this week are taking advantage of the clause in the Actors’ Equity contracts that per- mits them to close their shows because of bad business the week before Christ- mas_without paying their actors. This is the first time a situation like this has arisen on Broadway, oldtimers say. Not Over 3,000 Working. John Golden, who produced “Light- nin',” said he did not believe that more than 3,000 of the more than 10.000 mémbers of Actors’ Equity were work- ing. “I have no_exact information on which to base that statement,” he said, “but this I do know—that if word got out that I or any other producer had a play to cast with 20 parts there would be 1,000 players on hand fight- ing for those 20 parts. The situation is awful.” A member of Actors’ Equity Council. the Actors’ Union, estimated - that two-thirds of the membership was out of work. Ac- tors’ Equity has about 10,700 members. Losses Run Into Millions. Actors’ Equity has no figures on the unemployed. Neither had the Actors’ Pund, which provides relief for players who are stranded. But officials of both organizations say the situation is very | ad. And Mr. Golden points out that the actors are not the only sufferers. “Think of the man who owns a theater,” he said. “Close up nine theaters right off | Times Square—the losses run into mil- | lion: Reasons advanced for the situation run all the way from the preponderance | of sex plays to th2 popularity of the | radio that keeps people at home. You hear it said.that the cost of tickets is ruining the business—particularly the cost of musical comedy ‘tickets. Musfcal comedy is feeling the slump | far less than the straight dramatic pro- | ductions. Of the 104 shows that opened | between August 1 and December 15, 20 | were musical comedies, and only 7 of | those closed. Of the 84 straight dra- matic productions, 54 closed—or G4 per cent of them. Only Four “Real Successes.” Wiltred J. Riley, dramatic editor of | the Billboard, a theatrical newspaper, who compiled those figures, points out | that, oddly- enough, the percentage of failures this season has been slightly below that of 1927, although the theater business apparently did not ‘feel the pinch nearly so much then. You heard no particular discussion of hard times in the theater.a year ago. ~Perhaps the reason is that, while the percentage of . failures was slightly higher last year, the percentage of real successes is_much, muech lower this year,” Mr. Riley said. “A year ago there were more than half a dozen out- nd-out successes running in New York. t this time then “Coquette’ had opened with Helen Hayes and “Command to Love,’ ‘Burlesque,’ ‘Porgy,’ ‘The Trial of Mary Dugan,” The Shannons of Broad- house as best she can, watched over and helped by her devoted husband., It would be cruel to separate them.

Blames Immoral Play. Mr. Golden assigns the trouble to the prevalence of sex plays and to a lack | of co-opfration between cuthors, actors and producers. “The trouble,” he said, “aside from the fact that authors, actors and pro- ducers do not get together and fight the outside factors that are hurting the business—such as unfair labor laws, unjust taxation and ticket speculators— is this: \ “The majority of Americans are more moral than immoral, and right now the majority of plays are more immoral than moral. “We Americans are predominanily decent and clean.

Despite a record-breaking Christinas mail, indicating success of the early mailing campaign, Postmaster W. M. Mooney today issued a final plea to the public to mail in time for Chrsitmas de- livery. Since there is no delivery on Christ- mas day, except special delivery mail, Mr. Mooney called upon the public to complete malfling for Christmas not later than Thursday to assure delivery in the city by Saturday. To take care of the exceedingly heavy mails, both outgoing and incoming, Postmaster Mooney has qualified a small army of additional clerks and letter carriers. Of 800 extra clerks qualified for the Christ- mas rush, 400 are working at the main post office and branches. In addition to these, 500 extra letter carriers are on the call list, 150 of whom now are at work. From day to day, as the need arises, their numbers will' be inereased. By Christmas eve or the day before, it is expected, the total 1,300 extra em- ployes will be fully engaged. Notices sent today are intended for those neglecting te comply with earlier requests. On Monday the carriers will be overtaxed with the mail accumulat- ing over Sunday. Mr. Mooney there- fore urges every one to mail parcels and greeting cards in time to assure deliv- ery by Saturday afternoon.

Hugh Macdonald. the starter, boarded a crowded train bound for this city from Boston at the Kendall Square, Cambridge station. The car was large's filled with Harvard studen:s returnir.g from a Harvard hockey game in Bos- ton, and they were venting their dis- pleasure at Harvard’s loss to the Uni- versity Club by smashing bulbs and tearing advertising signs from the walls. Macdonald found himself powerless to interfere effectually, but succeeded in grasping one youth and held him until the train reached Harvard Square, where a second starter attempted to prisoner. Friends of the youth wrested him from the starter, and one of these allegedly was Wisner. Macdonald grabbed Wis- ner, and despite a severe pummeling succeeded in holding him until police reserves from the Brattle Square station arrived and took him into custody. The elevated company and Cam- bridge police have experienced troubls with returning students from several recent hockey games, and Macdcnald had been assigned to board the train as it entered Cambridge to prevent trouble. Numerous windows in the train were smashed and several girls narrowly es- caped being pushed into the train pit by the milling crowd ILLILL 171 LA /L L LT 2101 Connecticut Avenue Apartments of Distinction in Washington’s most exclusive building Seven and nine rooms and three baths with enclosed porches.
