14jEW YORK. Aug. $. President W0
X v son, acting in response to an appeal
from the Producing Managers associa
tion to ; "save the American theatre,
has directed the interstate commerce
commission to take up the question of
granting special rate transportation con
cessions for all traveling theatrical com
panies, according to a letter received
by John Golden from Joseph P. Tumul
ty, the president's secretary.
Golden, producer of TJehtnln' " at the
Gaiety ..theatre, addressed the appeal to
k-resinent Wilson In his canacity as a
director of the Producing Managers as
sociation, pointing out that if the new
railroad rates which became effective
on August 26 go Into effect It will mean
mat "tne pest: produced plays will be
seen in only the four bis: -cities, where
long runs are possible."
"Is the best In the American drama
to be confined to New York, Chicago.
Philadelphia and Boston, or placed with
in the grasp of jM the American peo
ple?" asked Golden' In his letter to the
president, in which he made it clear he
had no personal axe to grind." but was
making the appeal "for the masses of
the theatrical profession actors, stage,
hands, chorus folk, managers And auxil
iary personalities whose means of live
lihood will be reduced 60 per cent."
This step on the part of the Produc
ing Managers association in appealing
direct to President Wilson was followed
early this week by. Joint action on the
part of the Touting Managers associa
tion and the Actors' Equity, who agreed
to appoint a special committee to go to
Washington and lay the facta in the
situation before the interstate commerce
commission. . ,
The commission's recent rate ruling
has advanced the transportation costs
on all touring theatrical companies 20
per cent, exclusive of war. tax, and Pull
mans up 60 per cent plus war tax.
Already news ' dispatches from Chi
cago indicate that many of the "turkey
shows," as tne one-night stand com
panies are spoken of. have already can
celled arranged tours "into the sticks."
Discussing the situation. Golden said :
"This will be the last straw If the rates
remain effective. The higher salaries,
caused by the high cost of living, the
increase all along the line, transfer.
properties, scenery, printing and adver
tising, all are sky highland now comes
this attack on a great tax revenue getter
of the government. It is fine of the
president to make our .cause his own."
Between 160 and 200 shows leave New
Ybrk every season and -Chicago sends
out a score or more. The one-night
stand and touring company season lasts
4Z weeks, but, according to reports from
the latter city, -most of the road com

view of saving Pullman sleeper accom
