Smith, President of the Swarthmore School Board (1 & 5 - BB, CE, and RE) - The board bought a new athletic field and school site at Rutgers and Westdale, paying John J. Tyler $36,000 for 8.436 acres, and paying the estate of Dolty McGinley $4,000 for .344 acres.

The Temperamentals, so named for the code word gay men used to refer to themselves, reveals the courageous men of the Mattachine Society, the first viable gay rights organization in the United States. The New York Times hailed the play “informative and evocative. … The Temperamentals succeeds at conveying an era when only a few brave men dared announce their sexual identity before a society that vilified them.” This production features cast members Mike Dees, Carl Granieri, Doug Greene, John Jarboe and Matt Tallman. The Temperamentals begins previews April 8 and runs April 11–29, 2012 (opening night is Wednesday, April 11, at 7 p.m.), at the Skybox at The Adrienne Theatre, located at 2030 Sansom St. in Philadelphia. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $15 for students and are available by calling the Mauckingbird Theatre Company box office at (215) 923-8909 or online at www.mauckingbird.org. Set against a backdrop of intolerance at the height of early-1950s McCarthyism, The Temperamentals tells of a secret love story that unfolds between communist Harry Hay (Matt Tallman) and Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich (John Jarboe).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia 4-RC-21019 6-9-05
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD REGION FOUR CONCERTO SOLOISTS d/b/a THE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA OF PHILADELPHIA1 Employer and Case 4–RC–21019 PHILADELPHIA MUSICIANS’ UNION LOCAL 77, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF MUSICIANS, AFL-CIO2 Petitioner REGIONAL DIRECTOR’S DECISION AND DIRECTION OF ELECTION The Employer, The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, is a small, elite orchestra which performs at concerts and other engagements. The Petitioner, Philadelphia Musicians’ Union Local 77, has filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board under Section 9(c) of the National Labor Relations Act seeking to represent a unit of the Musicians who perform in the Chamber Orchestra. There are about 33 Musicians in the petitioned-for unit. The Employer contends that the Musicians are independent contractors and thus are excluded from the coverage of the Act. A hearing officer of the Board held a hearing, and the parties filed briefs. I have considered the evidence and the arguments presented by the parties, and as discussed below, I have concluded that the Musicians are statutory employees. Accordingly, I am directing an election in a bargaining unit of the Employer’s Musicians.3 To provide a context for my discussion, I will first present a brief overview of the Employer’s operations. Then, I will review the factors that must be evaluated in determining independent contractor status and present in detail the facts and reasoning that support my conclusion that the Musicians are statutory employees. 1 The Employer’s name was amended at the hearing. 2 The Petitioner’s name was amended at the hearing.
