LONDON, June 29. <U.P.J—Hun- dreds of vaudeville performers who a year ago were earning salaries rgnging from szoo w $100 ii- week are walking the streets of llloridon pennilesa and with no work in sight.

Their position is most distressing because of the ever increasing and convincing impression that variety in England is “dead? One large theater two weeks ago. Elie!‘ Dilly- ing to a house of '15 in the after- noon and 110 in the evening, vquit and overnight became a motion picture house.

Salaries of leading artists have been halved, especially in the case of those who are spending part of their time at Elstree, the "Holly- wood of England," making pictur- es. The theater managers take the position that a performer who spends hours under hot, whiff: llghts during the daytime cannot give his best performance at night.

Manager's Win

On the other hand, the actors ar- gue that by playing in pictures they become more widely known and thus enhance their value at the box office. But, since the man- agers pay the salaries, they win the argument.

Periodical walls appear in the press complaining that managers here are showing preference for foreign talent while British stars are allowed to remain idle. A gos- sip writer, stressed the fact that Will Mahoney, famous Broadway comedian, was paid $4.000 a. week here for his tumbles on the stage of a music hall.

Interested observers defend the action of the managers in a few terse words. 'I‘hey say foreign art- ists continually change their not. whereas there are “turns" on the stage here which haven't been al- tered in years.

Same Old Art “The people want something

fresh, something snappy. something unique." One said. "They are tired

RIO POWER. DAM WORK RUSHED

EAGLE PASS, Tex., July 7. (UP) Work is progressing rapidly 0n Maverick County's 90 mile $6,600,- 000 hydro-electric power and irri- gation project being constructed on the Rio Grande 12 miles west of here. .

Only a few finishing touches re- main to be put on the intake chan- nel before the coficr dam can be opened to allow a free flow of the Rio Grande into the channel.

Completion of the intake section marks the closing of an import- ant chapter in the building of the project. Twice during its construct- ion the muddy river rose to harass the engineers, and twice the muddy waters were turned back and the resulting muck cleaned out.

The project will irrigate and bring under cultivation some 6'1,- 000 acres of land, furnish water for the development of 12,000 gross horsepower at the Central Power and Light Company's plant now under construction 10 miles north of Eagle Pass, and form a nuc-

the Winter Garden district.

District engineers‘ figures show that more than $1,300,000 worth of construction has been completed by sub-contractors to date.

W. Armstrong, who hushed con- siderable experience with ailments

occuring in o. temperature of 110 in Mesopotamia, says:

Drinking ice-water and other ice- cold drinks in an attempt to 0001 off the body is unwise, and tends only to make the body warmer, Dr. Armstrong said.

we warned citizens against sit- ting in the direct line of electric fans or open windows while motor- ing, asserting that these were easy ways to catch pneumonia.

Hot-weather rules suggested by Dr. Armstrong were as folows:

i. Keep out of the sun as much as possible.

2. If you must go into the sun, wear smoke goggles. You can sci sunstroke through the eyes just as quickly as through the top of YQllF head.

3. Keeping from all physicial ex- crtion.

4. Take frequent tepid sponge baths, but don't plunge into cold water. '

5. Keep your mind off the heat.

6. Don't look at the thermometer-

7. Drink moderately-cold water in moderation.

8. If you get a headache, lie down in a dark well-ventilated room.

9. If ill at‘ your stomach, call doctor.

l0. Keep away from heavy foods. Your body doesn't need so much food in hot weather.

11. Wear as few clothes as P0!- slble.

12. People afflicted with sun-burn should keep entirely out of the sun, and keep the afflicted parts cover- ed with good oold cream, If there are blisters, parts should be bath- ed in warm solution cf boracic acid.

The economic depression also has played an important part in the present situation. Only a fcw musical shows in which heretofore the vaudeville performers coiil obtain engagements are being sent to the provinces. The public in the smaller cities is unable to pay the high prices asked by the legitimate theaters and seeks enjoyment in- stead in the more reasonable mot- ion picture shows.

The increasing tendenecy through out the country to transform leg- itimate theaters into cinemas also is regarded with considerable ap- prehension by vaudeville artists.
