This igen would keep Equity actors from Ling in companies with non-mom- rsof the association, and there is a ide difference of opinion existing as whother or not it would be a good thing for the acting profession. The opinion is freely expressed that such 4@ step, which is virtually a closed Shop plan, might mark the beginning of the end of the Bquity, an organi- vation which has done much for its niembers in the past few years, Those who argue against the Equity Shop yy it would be un-American, On fhe other hand, Equity members inaintain they have the right to uct Se tay off, jist as they please, and they deny t the idea incorporates any plan to dring to bear pressure what would kqep mon-members out of work. f All arguments aside, the fact re- qpaing that the theatrical business, for the player at lange, is not flourishing at 1, owing to a reaction in road Dusiness and other conditions which hhave kept the small manager from sending out companies. The Hquity idea would precipitate trouble which might eventually result in the ion actors taking charge of the ow ‘business of this country, or the complete rout of the Equity.
