All these theatres were until A year ago united under the manage- ment of Laaxlo Beotby. among the most talented of Hungarian pro- ducers, and the shares were In the hands of the big banking Arm of Kohner's. The firm, however, not being proof against the results of the 'teneral slump surprised the city by selling the theatre union shares to a group consisting of Hun- garian and AmericAD flnaociera. Former Banker Managed Houses This group was presided over by Jeno Faludl. who also undertook the management of the theatres. Faludi was formerly manager of the Amer- ican-Hungarian iSAnk.v which had failed during the stock exchange crisis, but it appeared that directors and managers had saved enough to start on a theatrical undert.<iking ot great calibre. Other members of the new group were Berlalan Barna, lately returned from the Unted Sthtes where he made a for- tune in the confectionery buaines^ Jeno Revess and Dr. Alexander Banyal. The new company* ac- quired all the bulidlngs and the en- tire equipment and material belong- ing to the five theatres for a mere song, barely S75.»0!i. and there was a general opinion (hat they were going to make tremendous profit. The news was spread that un- limited capiUl was at their dis- posal and wouM be invested liber- ally. The new management begnn its activity by tempting away tttar actors and actreeaes of other thea- tres by means of the highest sal- aries ever paid In Budapest. They also paid advancen which were un- precedented here. To Imre Kal- man, for instance, an advance of M.OM was paid for "Qraeftn Marlt- xa," and con.<iidering that Budapest la not a very U% city, this was an unheard of sum. But it appear<?d that the capital they could dispose of and were going to Invest In the interest of their theatres etisted •nly ia the imagiaAtkm aI; the directors. "MaritzA" Kept Trust Al«n« LAst fall, considerable loans had AlreAdjr to be ealered upon to en- sure the undisturbed work of the theatres. *'Maritxa' was a great hit, and that helped to l«iep the trust above water for a wMle. but other theatres were man.iged in such a way that failure was bound to come. When It came, the form it took was worse than anyone would haev thought possible. May IS be- ing pa>-day. Director Faludi simply declared that there was no money to meet the pay rolls and the entire personnel of the four theatres, ac- tors, musicians, technical and oMce employees, some SOO were left with- out money. This is made all the worse by the circumstances tliat In Budapest all actors and musiciana have yearly contracts, so that the company was really bound by ooh- tra6t not to give notice before Bept. I. It appeared thht the fftiion owed about 15.000,000 crowns (about |21S.000> to authors, tradesmen and others. The shock was alt the greater because in general Buda- pest theatres are managed on solid buoiness grounds and it is >0 yeaTs since failure of a theatrical under- taking was lajft recorded. The actors, reduced to despair, thereupon undertook to conduct the theatres on their own management and fortune smiled upon thenu Only three days after the smasB. the Kraly Szlnhag made a big hit with A new vaudeville called "Good Old Budapest," which is Ailing the thea- tre to capacity and suflliws to m^et the most preaslnsr obligations. TIM actors have placed their lUmost aair bitlon in the productioA oC this comedy-revue.

These royalties due to the family of the late composer. Victor JacoM, were generously offered by the same tor the education ot tlM. orphan son of Pongraca Kacaoh. who composed the music of "Janoe Vltea," the most popular and most origlaal Hungarian musical ptay ever written, and who after hhvtais achieved supreme popularity, died last year,' peimilces and dement4il. There was a general wave of indig- nation throughout the city, and pub- lic opinion forced the law courts to open proceedings. Th* entire pfoo- erty of the Union was put Ufiaer selaure and Kaloaan Csatho. fenaor- ly manager of the Nemsetl AUahas, was appionted custodian. By raea^s of some energetic and prarticai dis- positions he has already managed to get thinfs into working order aiAd ensure, for a time at leAst, the maintenance of all four theaitr^. The future ot the Union theatres In still uncertain, very probably they will be leased to different managers or producers each during the next season. BARTEWERS STRIKE (Continued from page 1) 9 a. m. dally the day men have been working on a 10-hour dally basis with the night ciew relieving at 7 with their houra supposed to run until 4 a. m., but with the latter complaining It is generally 7 or S In the morning before they get out of the places, and consequently be- lieve they should receive larger sdl- aries. Stole Business, Too This is said to be the second controversy with this partlcalar group within six months. In the last instance their employers refused to meet the d. mauds. A numl»er of the men stepped out ahd opened opposition places nearby, taktag most of their trade through their popularity with custoaers as the real ownera seldom came into con- tact with tholr patrons. When the latter nltr>i(ipted to rehabilitate the trad^ thry %vere praLtically atr;tng;a ers in the neighborhood and had to build up a new clientele.
