from giving rehearsals because of fire,
accident, riot, strikes, illness of star or prominent member of the
cast, act of God, public enemy or any other cause of the same general
class which could not reasonably be anticipated or prevented, then the
time so lost shall not be counted as part of the four (or five, as the
case may be) weeks' rehearsal period herein provided. After the fourth
week of rehearsal, including any lay-off period on the above account,
the Manager will pay half salaries for two weeks, at the end of which
time the Actor shall be free, unless the Manager wishes to continue
the services of the Actor and pays him full salary therefor.
_Transportation_
H. The Manager agrees to transport the Actor when required to travel,
including transportation from New York City to the point of opening
and back to New York City from the point of closing; also the Actor's
personal baggage up to two hundred pounds weight.
I. The Manager shall reimburse the Actor for all loss or damage to his
property used and/or to be used in connection with the play while they
are wholly or partly in the possession or control or under the
supervision of the Manager or of any of his representatives and also
when such baggage and property has been in any way shipped, forwarded
or stored by the Manager or any of his representatives, but the Actor
shall have no claim if the loss or damage occurs while the baggage or
property is under his own control. Upon payment of said loss or damage
the Manager shall be subrogated to all rights of the Actor therefor.
J. If the company is organized outside of New York City, the name of
such place is herein agreed to be substituted for New York City in
Paragraph H, and elsewhere.
K. The Manager shall not be responsible for any loss occurring to the
personal baggage of the Actor, whose duty it is, if he desires to
protect himself against loss, to insure the same.
L. The Actor herein may play in any benefit performance given by or
under the auspices of the Actors' Equity Association. Deputies of said
Association will be permitted in each company and a duly authorized
representative shall have the right to be on the stage before and
after rehearsals and before and after performances, and said
Association may represent its members in any dispute which may arise
with the managers. Actors will be tentatively engaged on their paid up
cards only, which card will be prima facie evidence of membership i
