duction at the Fifth Avenue Theatre of "Love's
fabor,s Lost.n We observe that some discussion
is going In regard to the correct photography Of
the title. This Is question interesting to anti
0uarans and literary cOnn0sseurs, not withous
certain utility we admit, but, after all, OF little
use compared with the two great questions lis
the comedy worth producing at the present day."
and, II so, "Wili 1t be worthy producedS" We
have no Information that this comedy has ever
been brought out in New York, though there
seems to be no doubt 1t was produced In Phtladel-
phia some twelve or fifteen years ago. Meanwhile
IL may be interesting for those who are curious IN
Shakespearean 0rthoepy TO learn that IN the orig
tna edition OF 1898 both Glove" and "labor IN the
title "Love's LaDors Lost, were put IN the plural,
and without apOstrophes that In the f0lio edition
OF 1923 ''love" appeared in the plural without an
apostrophe, and ''labor" appeared In the possess-
I've singular. Mason insists that TINS method 70
incorrect; Knight maintains that the author IN
tended to name his play Loves Labor L. Lost"
