„Had the Karno baggage and scenery held“
Editorial content. „Karno Co. Jumps Contract.
After a stormy scene between the managers
and some tall hustling on the part of Frank O‘Neill, managing
the American tour of the Fred Karno English Music
Hall company (Billie Reeves), he was permitted to depart in peace
with his artists for the other side yesterday (Thursday).
Heading the Karno company was Mr. Reeves, who did
not depart with the others. Through contract with
Joseph M. Schenck, of the Loew booking offices, and the
Karno management, the company was booked for
a ten weeks‘ engagement over the circuit.
Before the time was up O‘Neill received word to bring
the company home, regardless of his arrangements.
The Loew people, scenting a break-off, had the Karno baggage
and scenery held, and informed O‘Neill that he would
have to make good his contract. There were three more weeks
to play.
O‘Neill even conferred with the English Ambassador,
but after considerable maneuvering agreed to play
half of this week and accept certain conditions which would
enable him and the company to sail Thursday.“
