1,500 ACTOR8 ARE
WITHOUT ANY WORK
Chicago—Fifteen hundred "pro
fessionals"—leading men and
women, chorus girls and men,
"leads," "heavies," vaudevillianfl^
representing every type of actor
and actress—are now nesting on
Chicago's rialto.
Within three weeks about \0
companies have folded their tents
in nearby towns and their mem
bers have hurried here looking for
"openings" and discussing the
most disastrous year in theatri
cals in a decade.
The local theatrical aKcncie*
are crowded daily. Managers de
clare there are more theatrical
men and women seeking employ
ment in Chicago now than in ten
years, even including the summer
lime, when "resting" is usually a
habit.
"Company after company ha*
returned to Chicago within tile
last week," said Harry Armstrong,
the booking agent. "There ar*
200 applicants for every place I
can offer."
