his reasonable living expenses during said rehearsals, except that the
Manager shall be allowed two days of free rehearsals in cities
within one thousand miles of New York City and one additional day free
for each additional one thousand miles or fraction thereof.

4. If the Chorus shall absent himself from rehearsals for seven days
or more by reason of illness, the Manager may cancel this contract
without payment for service to date. The Association may, in its
discretion, upon appeal by the Manager, reduce this period.

5. Contracts between Manager and Chorus shall be deemed to be entered
into between the said parties no later than the date of the first
rehearsal, and written contracts must be given and signed before the
end of the ten-day probationary period for rehearsals. If such written
agreement is not offered to the Chorus, fully made out and ready for
signatures, on or before the tenth day of rehearsal, the Chorus, at
his option, may terminate the employment, in which event the Manager
shall pay to the Chorus a sum equal to one week's minimum
compensation.

If such contract has not been so offered within said ten day period
(and if the Chorus has not then terminated the employment) and such
contract is not offered at the end of the twentieth day of rehearsal,
the Chorus, at his option, may terminate the employment, in which
event the Manager shall pay him a sum equal to two weeks' minimum
compensation.

ten day probationary period the Manager shall pay the Chorus two
weeks' salary and his transportation and sleeper both ways.

7. If the full rehearsal period to which the Manager is entitled be
not used by him before the date of opening, he may employ the balance
