within the jurisdiction of the management to permit both, either or neither to use it. "Cutting" or shortening the act on final per- formances, unless by consent of the manage- ment. The management has the right to expect that the act will not be "cut" or changed, from the way rehearsed, except with his consent. The artist should not "cut," "change," or "cheat" in his work, and should continue during the en- tire engagement to do the act as at the first approved performance. Otherwise he seriously breaches his contract. Disputes concerning the size of type used on posters, the position allotted the act in lobby display, on boards in front of the theatre or in general outside advertising. These are mat- ters entirely within the discretion and judg- ment of the management, unless otherwise specifically provided in the contract. The artist should realize that as a general rule the nomination of his position on the bill has had careful attention from perhaps three or four persons who have made a study of "framing" bills, including the manager of the theatre, and that these have arranged it with the single idea of using each act to the best advantage and with a view of properly bal- ancing the entire program. 303
