...Theodore T. ("Ted") Ellis, onetime publisher of the Worcester (Mass.) Telegram & Gazette, partner of Col. Knox in buying control of the Daily News from the Strong estate for (reputedly) $2,500,000. It was understood that Mr. Ellis supplied most of the cash (from a fortune estimated near $8,000,000).

Weighed down by public woe, he has run for Congress on the Socialist ticket, flayed Mayor Walker in his World-Telegram colyum, and now, saddened by the plight of the jobless actors, has staged a cooperative revue.
