The union knew nothing about the notices go- Ui'^ to Its operators a,nd had not been approached on negotiations for the coming year. Toward the end of last week RKO, Loew and Skouras handed each operator a letter giving him chance to accept a cut to $1.25 an hour from $2.12% or quit, ef- fective Saturday (10). A meeting was held Monday afternoon (5) at Which the managers Indicated they wanted to negotiate a new scale, but 306 regards this an an 'arbi- trary attitude of the employers In Insisting upon a wage cut first and then negotiating for a wage ecalij afterward,' also branding such move as unheard of In labor collective bargaining. Operator representa- tives refused to discuss a new agreement while what It terms 'the sword of Damocles of a drastic wage cut remains over their heads.' Circuits Adamant Union offered to linmedlately ne- gotiate a new scale If the three cir- cuits would first rescind the order for a wage cut. This was refused at the Monday conference at which C. C. Moskowltz of L<oew acted as chairman. While the present situ- ation over the cuts from a weekly salary of $04 for five days to $37. concern.s only the RKO, Loew and Skouras theatres, numbering 150 house.-) and affecting around 700 men, other New iTork operator." were represented at the meeting. Frank Phelps appeared for War- ner Bros.; Robert Wcitman for I'.iramount; AI Reld for I''ablan Theatres; Gu.s EyHsell for Radio City Mu.sic Hall and Loul.s Frlscli for th& Kandl'orce circuit in Brook- lyn. These clrcult.s, plus the Rlvoll .and Roxy, would not be affected by any walkout in protest against cuIh that have been ordered. The 30(i local w?is represented by .Josepli D. HasHon, preffldcnt; Krank Ruddock, v.p., and Its two business aKcnts, Jack Kielley and Joe Kclban.

Meyer Goldberg's whistling—a tricky type which he credits to a broken tooth—comes close to the vaudeville novelty so long missing— and which actually is reached by Harvey Mearns with a group of novelty musical Instruments. Thomas Byron brings a pleasing baritone voice In ballads. Leonard Maretta Is a trumpeter with a tech- nique that takes the curse off the Instrument. All-around good material show, despite little or no attention given to balance, staging or costuming. Eddie Vogt, veteran vauder, m.c.'s the unit capably. Mack. OLSEN AND JOHNSON (LOEWS, CANTON, O.) Canton, Aug. 2. Easily one of their best frolics ond nearly as funny as 'Take a Chance' the new Olsen and John- son unit, 'Evorythlns Goes.' pre- miered here at Loew's Thursday (1), Engagement was for one day and served as a. ''•'eak-ln for the unit which started its season at Cleveland's Palace following day. Fact that It was the first time members of the unit worked to- gether accounted, perhaps, for a few unpolished spots; but taken all In all. It is pleasing entertainment and good for plenty ot laughs In the better than 60 minutes that it runs. The veterans have many new stunts this season and few of the old lines hold over. The extrava- ganza Is beautifully staged, moves fast and offers widely diversified entertainment. Their new offering gets under way to a fast start when •■hey double In a novel screen prolog that lampoons Mussolini and Hitler In a unfque fashion. Pair have lost none of their ap-* peal with the customers and con- tinue to trade the sort oi good old Knockabout, wlld.rand dizzy hokum that Iiisplres iou'd laughs. Their new offering Is blessed with more vari- ety, good talent, colorful novelties, than last season. For on**' thing there Is an excellent chorus of shapely limbed chorines in smart ci'stumes. ' They are billed as the Foster glrla and 16 of them are used in the rou- tines and novelty bite that are spotted frequently through the pro- gram. Their interpretation of the rhumba and chair dance have the flash of a Broadway musical. The Caron. Sisters harmonize pleasingly and Edna Errlco is a pretty miss who has a Jittery style of comedy. Between these eye-appealing numbers, the moon-faced, giggling Chic Johnson, aided by Olsen's sharp wit, put on rather rowdy bed- room skits or amusing satire ot gangster melodramas. The house and rostrum are filled with stooges wiio sell balloons and shoot g'ms next to your good ear. A daff.i' acrobat Is Chic's best accomplice; a sad faced zany, who looks like an undertaker, is another. As If all this wasn't enough, they put on a diverting amateur show dally, which was won by a local gal who could really sing. Opening show here ran almost two hours but after four trys unit- was crowded into a little better than an hour and 20 minutes, with a further cut to an hour planned. Costuming Is the best yet for an Olsen and Johnson unit, wardrobe dominating from the start to the finish. Mficli- but In 306 quarters no such retali- ation Is expected. It Is regarded as possible that Al- lied Operator.s, a New York-state union, may merge with 306 as result of the present circumstances. Frank TIchenor, publisher-politician, was recently named by Mayor LaUuardla as arbiter In the Allled-396 situation and may be instrumental In effect- ing peace between 300 and Allied through a merger or In some other manner. Allied operators are work- ing for niuch less than 306 operat- ors, salaries varying as to theatres. Mayor LaGuardla and TIchenor, as well as Moskowltz, were notified of action by 11 other theatrical un- ions which are In sympathy with 306 In the present fight. Those un- ions include musicians, stage hands, teamsters, building .service cmilloy- ces, managers and agent.s assMci.i- tlon, united scenic artists, grand op- era choral alliance, grand opera artists as.soolatlon, stationary engi- neers, sign writers and actors (American Fod. of Aclors). Wlliam Felnljorg, v.i). of the J/u- slclan.s I.ooal 80:i, is ohHirni.'in of Ihl.s sympathetic gi'outi whlcli will go on Htiikc with 300 If that ovo is taken. It wa.« but a week ago that 300 vcKn\n(:(\ Its local autonomy from Llio I.A.T.ti.E., which for over a yc'ar had boon In control of its af- fairs.
