STRIKING ACTORS TO LAUNCH PRODUCTION.

Chicago, Aug. 24.—With all the major theatres here closed, striking actors tonight planned a week’s rehearsal for a production including the stars of the shows stopped by the strike of members of the Actors’ Equity association ten days ago. As planned, the play would open in Chicago with a tour of one-night stands in Illinois and Indiana following. Scenery was removed from one of the closed play housfes today after permission was obtained from a representative of the Actors’ Equity association and strikers were permitted to take away their personal effects.
