Article 51 of the vaude NRA code. This section would prohibit pprforrhances in places not regularly constituted as a theatre. William Morrii^ Jr., flew to Chi- cago Friday (1), and from there went to Sioux City, la., to", discuss the clause "vvith T^om Mix, who Xs expected to assist ih'iendeavoring to put this provision into the discard. From Iowa,. Morris goes to "Wash- ington, where he will be met by the Morris Agency attorney, Jerome "Wilzin, for a finish fight against clause 51i ' ■ Article 61, of the proposed vaude code, taketf k 'direct slap at .the Morris Agency, which has In the past barnstofmdcl' Annette Keller- m'ari, Eva Taneuay; Hiairry Ijaud4r, Tom Mix, Eddie Cahtor and btli'ers in rented halls and auditoriums.

Under indie 'circuit nianagemeht for the first time in years, the Or- pheum is coming back to vaude, first to set such policy for the com- ing season. .; It's been about eight years since vaude was in here. Failure of the major vaudeville circuits to restore the old salaries as they pledged themselves to do when asking all vaudeville acts to take a 25% cut last March, is going to keep the salaries of moderate priced acts down for awhile. But it may be the- long looked for open- ing wedge for a general diift toward percentage deals for the higher salaried turns. The Loew circuit, whose opposi- tion. .^9,,percentage bookings has chiefly influenced the other chains to'rtiAkti* ^hating" deals spatihtely, is slipping. In booking circles it's felt ^hat if .I^pew cr pitiilates, the others won't he^tltate to adopt the .per- centage, system for all acts in ..the heavy mpne:^^class. , . The number of big salaried names ifn"; .the. variety theatres since the cut has been extremely slim.
