Dear Mr. Albee: Owing to the present unsettled state of transportation I would suggest that all acts notify the houses they are to appear in Monday of their whereabouts at ten o’clock of the morning of that day. If they can not report to the theatre they can telephone or send a wire stating the time of their arrival. This applies particularly to acts that do not have to rehearse, as some of them are in the habit of not showing up at the theatre until twelve or one o’clock, even when they are in town. The result is, after waiting a reasonable length of time, we telephone to New York and try to find them, then suddenly learn that they have been here all the time. Very truly yours. R. G.
