The managers will decide first of all, that a strike must be averted. 2. The issue with the Actors' Equity Association will be compromised and a ten year agreement signed. 3. The compromise will mean, it was said, that theatrical companies for the next ten years will be composed of 80 per equity be composed of 20 per cent equity or non-equity members. The Fidelity members are mostly comprised of stars who resent the idea of working under a union contract, preferring the old method of dealing personally with the management. While officials of the equity announced they are still determined on a complete Equity shop, The great asset a sense of humor is to life, through every hardship and suffering, joy and sorrow is wonderfully illustrated in the photoplay "Mickey," at the United Theater tonight and Saturday. Mickey a naughty little tom-boy from the mountain country, with her pranks, her mischievous quick eyes and her magnetic smile will make you laugh as you have never laughed before. She will bring a tear to your eyes occasionally, reckless of danger she will-thrill you with her mad pranks and she will win a place in your heart just as surely as the sun rises in the morning. And if you like horse races you've an extra big treat in store for you. The scene in which Mickey rides to save the man she loves from the crooked work of a false friend is, as thousands have acknowledged, the most thrilling drama ever written into a picture. Rivalling the Manchurian dencesaur eggs of 10,000,000 years are the eggs 40,000,000 found in the bad lands of Dakota It is regarded as a certainty they will agree to a compromise if effected on the 80-20 per cent basis.

The fireman, dressed in ladies garb, made a very attractive team. The real girls wore overalls or capris and caps and had darling moustaches. The score was 11 to 9. The girls batted first and were fanned out one, two, three. The "old ladies" managed to grab a run or two to make things more interesting. The second innings was a repetition of the first for both sides. The "young men" could not seem to get their bearings. The girls looked like men, even to their short hair, which all had with the exception of one. There was an occasional fly to the fielders but a real sensation was caused when "Mr." Degryse knocked a home run thru left field. There were several three-base hits. Other games are planned in the near future. The business women's team was Lorena Poierrier, Easter Jacques, Irene Jacques, Mae Potrier, Myrtle Winters, Dorcas Jacques, Irma Waidler, Betty West, Pearl Edwards and Lillian Degryse. Firemen's team: Ray Larkeyen, Dean Hasson, Leo Sheridan, Al McGillivary, Sam Snodgrass, Albert Vall, Frank Tausch, Billy Lake, Dick Fischle and Frank Kinlon. BUILDING PERMITS $649,608 THIS YEAR Permits for $649,608 new building were taken out the first third of this year, according to City Building Inspector J. W. Price. This total, while it is not so large as corresponding period of 1923, exceeds every other similar period and is nearly three times that of January to April 1920. All of 1919 showed only $464,500.

SNAPPY VODD THE FAIR Taking a guarantee of $300 for the Carpenter-frolic and plenty, the "house" totalling over $1,600,000. At that price cannot hope to drag in much money at Jersey City even with Wills as the action. Fifty dollars was the price of Carpentier but twenty-five is the limit in Jersey now. Carickard's announcement was a admission that two definite cases had been taken. The first one was the placating of political influence which has long been to Wills meeting Dempsey in other white man for the cryweight title. The second case is the virtual elimination of Sir Firpo as a title contender, the present season at least, Dempsey having proclaimed that would fight but once this summer. Firpo is impossible," Rickard told today. "I have become convinced that he does not want to fight again and have instructed Argentine agent, Juan Homs, break off all negotiations with the Latin. There is nothing further I can do with Firpo and we given him up as a bad job; should I bother now? I think I have lined up a far better attraction in Wills." Rickard has some big work before him in reconstructing the arena at Boyles thirty acres in order to insure safety for the great crowd that is certain to attend the affair. The arena will seat forward of 90,000 and it is estimated that the receipts will total less than $1,250,000. Of this amount Dempsey probably will be imbued to the amount of a cool half million, at the very east. In confirming Rickard's announcement, Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, said today that he planned to bring the negro to the break of his condition by easy stages. He will be sent out against several opponents before the Dempsey business, the first of these being Bartley Madden, with whom Harry will dally on the date of May 9. Erminio Spalla and Jack Renault may also be accommodated this summer, Mullins added. Dempsey will tie up with his motion picture contract until July. He is then expected to come east and begin training either at Atlantic City where he trained for Carpentier, or at Saratoga, where he prepared for Firpo.

On the screen: Barbara Bedford, Robert Frazer, Renee Adoree, Frank Keenan, Joseph Dowling and Margaret Seddon play the principal roles in "Women Who Give," Reginald Barker's latest production now playing at the California theatre. The production is an adaptation of "Cape Cod Folks," Sarah P. McLean Greene's classic of the New England coast. It has been filmed in unusually thrilling and dramatic style providing motion picture entertainment of the very highest quality and is decidedly one of the most interesting productions to play in this city. A wonderfully realistic shipwreck with a fishing schooler smashed to pieces on the rocks, a life and death struggle with a huge swordfish, the firing of a fisherman's cottage and tense dramatic moments too numerous to mention all, tend to make "Women Who Give" a photodrama that no lover of motion pictures will care to miss. "Women Who Give" is a Louis B. Mayer-Metro offering, adapted by Bernard McConvill and J. G. Hawks with scenario by A. I. Younger. It was personally directed by Reginald Barker from the story by Sarah P. McLean Greene.
