5 * Member of the United Press, Mahed datly by The Star Publian- tng Oo. Pub. An Apology This is just what the title stands for—an apology: The fact that it wasn’t requested by the persons who had a right to ask it makes no difference, It is due to them, nevertheless. Some days ago The Star publishe: a little article about} Julius Steger, who was then playing at the Orpheum theatre, | in which we said: “For how can true art, true amatic art flourish w low-browed scene shifters are d chair or rugs back of you?” Today The Star received the follow m Julius Steger “My Dear Mr. Editor—Permit me to trespass upon your] valuable time with a few lines, and to enclose you an article which appeared in your much esteemed journal a few days but | I know the writer did not intend to offend anybody, ago. | he placed me in an unpleasant position by referring to the/ stage hands as “low browed.” I count the men back on the Stage, all through this country, as my best friends A good part of the success of any kind of a theatrical j (opera, drama or vaudeville) is to the fine wor there fore they must be high browed,” not the contrary. And it is well known to all pl ayers, that to win praise from the stage crew means to surely win favor with press and public, Will} you, my dear Mr. Editor, honor me (with the fairness for which you are noted) by printing this | etter in your fine paper Always gratefilly yours, ‘ LIUS STEGER The glad to put The Star is glad to have its fault called to its attention and} While it is true that the spirit of the Star is very lish Julius Steger’s letter | to acknowledge it article was good-natured and printed with no malicious intent, it is equally true that a disparaging reierence to the workmen of the stage should not have found a place in The Star. Coniinitededlens President Taft has found a way to relieve the makers of | imitation whisky from the operation of the pure food law. In doing so he has reversed three federal court decisions, the former attorney general, the secretary of agriculture, the} chief chemist, the Renssen board, the internal revenue bureau the trade mark section of the patent office, and Theodore Roose: | velt. : Joe Choate, who appeared as special attorney for Canadian Club; Warwick M.
