The story Is older than that English novel.
Miss Mutton" ms it came to the hands OF
Shook 4 Palmer. Mt the Union Square Theatre.
was a published French play. II was interest
ing; but It failed to answer two questions which
II would naturally suggest 10 the audience
Where did Mss Mutton come from p and
Whittier did Miss Mutton goI' Mr.. Caaaurnn
took the book. added an net Mt the beginning
and another NJ the end. and thereby answered
these questions and made Il complete and SYM

Then he proposed to spring the divorce on tho
audience at the close OF tho play. NJ the missing
despatch is sprung I'm Richelieu." Tho play
Is to he revived mt tho Union Square Theatre.
and this suggestion will then be- carried out.
a Celebrated Case" by tho author Of The
Two Orphans" underwent some important
alterations before II was produced In New York.
Ono Of these was the introduction OF the char
meter of ORo'Tks tho Irish Sergeant who IL
made tho guardian Of lean RepdUds child. md
thereby tho dramatic effect Of tho recognition of
the father and daughter In the third act is
greatly increased.
During tho rehearsal nj tho Union Square
Theatre of Mother and Son" which Il mn
adaptation OF Sardou's lbs Bourgeois de
Pont darcy" the whole motive Of the play was
changed. What In the original WINS comedy
Of local manners. and gained its Partisan sue
cess IA SUCH under MIR. Cnznuran's pen be-
came "a drama Ndrrcte. who in Sariou's play
Ind been only the mistress Of Fdbfice's father.
was made his wife in Mother md Son."
whereby tho reason for the sacrifice by FaJrice
was intensified and afforded tho Rreat element
ri interest in which lies the strength OF tho last
three acts.

that Of the boy lover. Bi0y BoiUs. substituted.
The recitation Of The Water Mill " in Otto"
was put ir at the Inst rehearsal and tried on an
Albany audience: II proved TO be one OF the hits
Of the play
One OF tho most curious cases OF alterations
in play after II had passed into tho managers
hands is that OF John Broughnm's Lottery OF
Life" which was written in an exaggerated
vein AZ n satire on the dramatic follics Of the
day; but the audience lid not sec the point
and the author had 10 rewrte the piece so as TO
come down 10 their mntter-oi-fnct level.

strains of Schubcrts b minor SYMPHONY
Schuberts poetic nature never allowed him to
