Lost Performances
I. The Chorus shall travel with the company by such routes as the Manager may direct, and the Chorus shall not demand compensation for any performance lost through unavoidable delay in travel which prevents the giving of performances by the company.
J. It is further agreed if the company cannot perform because of fire, accident, strikes, riot, act of God, the public enemy, or for any other cause of the same general class which could not be reasonably anticipated or prevented, or if the Chorus cannot perform on account of illness or any other valid reason, then the Chorus shall not be entitled to any salary (except as otherwise herein specified) for the time during which said services shall not for such reason or reasons be rendered. Should any of the foregoing conditions continue for a period of ten days or more the Manager may terminate the contract by paying in cash for all services and transportation of the Chorus back to New York City, including sleeper.
Lost Rehearsals
K. If the Manager is prevented 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 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 Chorus shall be free, unless the Manager wishes to continue the services of the Chorus and pays him full salary therefor.
Transportation
L. The Manager agrees to pay for transportation of the Chorus when required to travel, including transportation from New York City to the opening point and back to New York City from the closing point, including sleepers. The Manager has the right to put two in a lower berth and only one in an upper berth. The Manager also agrees to pay the cost of transportation of the Chorus' personal baggage up to 200 pounds weight. Sleepers must be supplied for the Chorus for all travel begun before five o'clock in the morning.
M. (1) If individual notice of termination is given by the Manager, he agrees to pay the Chorus in cash the amount of the cost of transportation and sleeper of the Chorus and his baggage back to New York City, whether the Chorus returns immediately or not.
(2) If this contract is cancelled by the Chorus, he agrees to pay his own railroad fare back to New York City.
(3) 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 paragraphs L, M-1 and M-2 and elsewhere.
