There are plenty of white ones in front of the Bond Building and lots more on Seventh ave nue.

Hardly a week passes with out the newspapers headlining some nasty scandal or disgraceful crime in which some artist is involved and each time it is a nasty smear on our theatrical page.

They have carried with them into the profession all the imaginable vices and consequently de cent people with histrionic abiltiy reluse to take up that vocation. There are, of course, a handful of decent people in the profession but they are so small that they arc negligible.
