How to Got . Play Acted.


You ask rue how to got play acted.
can tell you to moral certainty.
In the first place, you must write q play
that Is bound to be success, and this fact
must be apparent to any manager merely
from reading it over.
Make it original, startling, witty, in
tensely Interesting, with plenty of action,
etc.
Typewrite it and have it copyrighted.
Then take it to manager. Ask him to
read it and leave 1t with him.
After he has had it six months call for
it.
Call again two months later. By this
time he has been able to give the story and
most of the dialogue to some hack writer,
who, under his directions, can reproduce
1t in as good form as 1t was in the orig
inal. You will probably get 1t baok this
time 1t will be dirty and some of the
pages missing where the strongest scenes
are, but you can have it retypewritten.
Now take 1t to another manager He
will act precisely as the first did, but he
will be quicker, not on your account, but
he will have heard that the first manager
Is to produce that particular story under a
different name, and he will have to hustle
on his own account. He has as much
right to it as the other manager, hasn' t
her Therefore why should you kiok9
You may burn the play up now and
watch the fun. You have not only got 1t
produced, but doubly produced, and in a
month the managers will be getting out
injunotions against each other.
Lie low and play your cards carefully.
II you are very, very shrewd and particu-
larry cautious, perhaps you may be able to
get one or the other managers to give you
IS for testifying In his behalf. And by
testifying you not only make IS, but you
are enabled to decide which of the hack
writer's Is to be known as tho writer Of the
play.-Tom Hall In Truth.

Ode to . Battloohip.

The following stirring poem by Majo
!. II. N. Byers of Iowa was read at tn
luncheon following the launch OF the ne1
'attleship Iowa:
Wake, giant Of oak and steal.
Asleep by the yellow sand.
And give to the sea thy keel
And bid farewell to the land.
At the touch Of beauty arise.
At the hand that shall thee baptize,
And give to the sea Its love.
Sail, sail, o ship that is ours.
New warrant that peace shall b.
Whatever the cloud that lowers,
o ship Of the western seal
10 every land Of the earth.
To secs that are fair and far
Bear thou the message Of worth
That peace u better than war.
And guard thou ever our fame
From guh TO tho utmost bay
And keep forever thy name
As fair - it 10 today.
And IL ever grim war should como.
In spite Of the mien we bear,
With the sound Of the hurrying drum
And Q wall Of death ON the air,
Aud fight with thy thousand men
Till the ships of the foe shall feel
There are giants abroad again.
And thunder with all thy guns
And smite with thy lightning stroke.
Nor stop though thy bravest sons
Lie bleeding In battles smoke.
Cry out to them Perry's name.
Remember how Lawrence fell
o. Ah~k 10 >k< no.
In spite Of the fires Of hell,
And II ever foe should bid
Thee yield to naughty hand
Tell him what our Morris did
When he sank with the Cumberland.
Far better the ship 60 down
And her guns and her thousand men
In the depths Of the sea to drown
Than ever to sail again
With the day Of her promise done
Or the star Of her glory set
Or q thread from the standard gone
That never has yielded yet.
Then wake. o giant Of steel
That sleeps by the yellow sand.
Arise from thy dreams and feel
The thrill Of nations hand.
Sail, sail to many q main,
Strange lands and trackless ways.
But ever come back again,
New crowned with the victor's bayB.
Your colors already we know,
The colors our hearts adore
The sea waves white and the vines re
glow
{ And the blue sky bending DER.
Sail, sail, oh, eail,
But come 10 rs at the last,
II from the battle o. from the Rsle.
With the old flag at the mast.
