OF these comedies nave been much sought
after Dy American managers, and It was
Mr.. Aronson's intention TO lease them on
a ROYALTY or sell them outright. but the
success of the new policy at the Casino
has induced him TO airing them forth In
his own theatre. LfOncle Celestin will
be the first one produced.

by e. II. Sotnern. is success, Marguerite
Merrington Is at work on another play

him or herself TO turning out melu-
dramas of the Sims and Pettitt and Har-
ris kind, inat is quite another story, but
certainty a play 3 year is enongh for a
tiramatist who aims high. Miss Merring-
ton has had offers from hree English
managers. who want 'Letterhlair'' for
Great Britain. As the play Is laid in
