The New York Clipper (February 1917)

February 7, 1917 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER 31 WAR HITS SHOW BUSINESS {Continued from page 3.) Wilson & Voegtlin had engaged alto- gether about one hundred people, who were to have sailed for England this Spring to appear in productions in Lon- don and the provinces. These engage- ments will all have to be cancelled. Among others on the other side are: Dave Stamper, the composer; Ray Cox, Joe Lozier, assistant stage-director for Wil- son; Gene Buck, who is abroad in the in- terests of Flo Ziegfeld; Daphne Pollard. Harry Robe, and Shirley Kellog. When there seemed to be a likelihood of a break between the White Rats and the managers a few months ago more than two hundred acts that were laying idle about New York scraped up suffi- cient money for their passage and went abroad to take "pot luck." Conditions seemed to be very bright for them on the other side. A number of German actors visited the offices of the German Consul on Sat- urday and made inquiries regarding their status as German subjects in case a further break should come between this country and the Fatherland. They were told that, as diplomatic relations were already broken with this country, the Consulate could not afford them any pro- tection and that they would have to be guided by their own judgment as to their future pursuits or actions in this coun- try. A great many of them then went to the offices of the Ward line and booked passage for Havana on steamers sailing today.
