RULES

1. Should the Manager of any production consider the same
"Spectacular" and therefore entitled to five weeks of free rehearsals,
he shall notify the Actors' Equity Association before the beginning of
rehearsals and advise fully as to the nature of the production and
secure its allowance of his claim.

2. Rehearsals begin with the date when the Actor is first called. If
the Manager chooses to start with a reading to the Company, or
substantial part thereof, said reading is a part of and begins the
rehearsal period.

3. In case of company rehearsals being held _before the opening of the
play_ at a place different from that of organization, the Manager
shall pay the Actor 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 Actor 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 Actor shall be deemed to be entered
into between the said parties on the date the terms of the contract
are agreed upon between the parties, and contracts must be issued and
signed as of that date.

6. 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
thereof immediately before the New York opening, provided that said
New York opening takes place within six weeks of the original opening
of the play.

7. If the employment under any contract relates to the second or
subsequent season of any play then the period of free rehearsals is
three weeks instead of four, but this provision shall not obtain if 50
per cent or more of the cast were not members of the production the
preceding year.

8. Notices of termination or closing given at or before the end of the
performance on Monday night effective at the end of the Saturday night
following, shall be deemed one week's notice.

9. The essence of this contract is continuous employment and a play
once closed shall not be re-opened during the same season within eight
weeks of the date of previous clos
