Eoitob Tns OurrxB, Dear Sir: An Incident oc- curred In thla city but week which we feci Is worthy of spsce In your valuable paper. The American Theatre (formerly Krrnan'a L;cciim, Western wheel burlesque), has been operated for some montha past sa a "pop" vaudeville and pic- ture bouse by a stock company, of which 11. M. Petit was tbe head, with W. II. (Billy) Ilowmnn acting ss manager, as hs wss the only one con- nected with the front of tbe home who knew any- thing about sbow business. Tbe house has only been doing s fair business. Therefore on lsst Wednesday night, April 22, lbs mansgement got "cold feet," leaving the per- formera a* well as the bouse employees with un- paid salaries. When Billy Bowman learned cf this he hur- riedly called a n eel lug of the performers snd employees snd they decide! to keep the house "leu snd divide the box office receipts pro rata each night. Mr. Bowman then went to ths General Flhn Co. nsd explained matters, and they very kindly consented to give bun servlot for the balance of the week. A. Julian Brylawakl, manager of Ihe Oustntn and the Casino Theatres, Instead of being glad to learn that his opposition bad "hit the rocks." immediately came (o Mr. Bowman ami offered to help him In any way be could, aa be admired Ms gsmencaa In sticking. Together they went lo the Electric Light Co. and made an arrangement lo bare current con- tinued. Billy Bowmsn snd Bob McGulre then got busy and advertised the "Illg Benefit" for Thursday. Friday, Saturday snd Hundsr. Thsnks lo their efforts the bouse enjoyed good Imslnew, which en- abled Ihe performers to meet their expenses snd make their Jumps unassisted. Everybody seemed glad to follow Bowman's lead and help out, and the verdict of all tbe per- formers was that b* waa entitled to vole of thanks for helping them In their predicament. Those sppesrlng on the bill were: Crawford and Broderlck, Georgia Lewis, "Baby Ann" Sntor. and Sahloo and bla orchestra. Yours very traly. Employees of American The- atre, Washington, D, 0.
