The old Avenue Theatre, former home of the Lafayette Players, re opened anew. under tne managerHent cm. mra ley, formerly of Koppina Theatre In Detroit. Monday. April 14, to a crowded house and line up for the second performance.

Butterbeans and Susie and tbelr company gave a good show, a lively frolic, and Butterbeans old dee; who cannot be taught new tricks and Susie sang well and wore some dresses. Joe Clark was a blackface demon of fun. Elizabeth Conley. a fair damsel with reddened ips. and Thressie Legge and the Gib son family of dancing children.

Randolph named for Artera The latest thing in actor organiza tion movements has lust been given out by a New York editor. Whether it was personal friendship or Inter est In the welfare of actors that prompted tne gallant editor to present the name of A. Philip Randolph for its organizer, his. known ability or a job solicitation, cannot yet be determined upon. In the first count, docs Mr.

Randolph know the inside tribulations of actors and If he doesn't he could not take the initia tive In rectifylug the differences be Iween managers who are owners and producers in their profession and even if he does there would hava to be a consulting board and committee or the brainiest actors of education it is true that air. Ksndolph is a pood organizer, but in a newer and different field he would have a far different proposition on his hands than the exile lament of the Brother hood of Sleeping Car Porters. If an actors organization should be estab lished in lork City and of na tional proportions, there is but one available solution to the problem and that is deputy heads would have to be appointed in all large cities where actors congregate. Travelling actors cannot be depended upon to pay dues. but every actor should pay to become a member and work for its success.

The organization could not be founded upon a graft system and local benefits would have to be regu lated. I presume an organisation of that kind could be made a grand sue cess, with such men as Irvin Miller, president; Jesse A. Shipp, vicj president; A. Philip Randolph, manager, organizer, paid from New York, where ali benefit receipts would have to be forwarded, except deputies commissions; Homer Tutt. secretary: William Henry Davis, treasurer, and Salem Tutt Whitney, assistant treas urer.
