Be careful In preparing the fruit not to waste the juice or to make the sections look ragged. Do not oversugar. Many hostesses use none when the fruit is served.

AROUND THE MAY POLE WILL STAND BYJU Producing Managers of the Will Not Go Over to the Independents E. East Position Assumed by Producing Managers Makes the Er-langer Position Impregnable The, producing managers of this country have taken the theatrical sit -nation into their own hands, and in a lcttr signed hy virtually every import ant producer of America they have rounded the death Knell of the scheme of the "stand" and circuit manap-rs to create a monopoly and throttle the drama. About three weeks ago several managers of circuits of one-night "stands' formed an association under the namt the National Association of Thea ter Owners. Kach one of these circuit managers owns one or more theaters in some section of the country; the rest they, simply hook for, acting as middlemen for the smaller points and a hooking fee for their services They have always secured the companies that played in their own theaters and the various smaller points for which they act through the offices of Klaw Erlanger. These circuit managers have nothing to offer the public, as they do not manage or control any companies themselves, but With "The Cowboy, th Indian and the Lady." depend on the support of the producing managers to furnish them attrac- lions.

After the formation of the above mentioned combination an announcement was made by the principal producing managers of this country allied with Messrs. Klaw ETlanger that they would not go back to the chaotic conditions which prevailed twenty-five years ago, the theatrical business having outgrown those kindergarten methods. That there should be no mistake concerning the attitude of these men who furnish amusements to the theater-goers of this country, they have sent broadcast the following letter. which is so emphatic and straight forward In its terms that comment Is unnecessary: To the local managers of the United, States and Canada: New York, May 26, 1910.
