the fact that line in one of my recent
compositions was entirely perverted and

than you ever wrote or even read. He has
put IN his life in getting up poetry of all
kinds. spring and fall styles. and heavier
goods for winter. He may have chanSed
your poem-but when you say he harmed
it, you presume. When man of his ex-

"DR. CLAUDIUs" DRAMATIzED.
Hand at Turning One of His
Novels Into n Play.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Mr.. F. Marion Crawford, the novelist
has written his first play. 1t is a dramatiza-
ton of his novel, ''Dr. Claudius," and it
will be produced under the direction OF
Mr.. John F. Harley within the next three
months, probably late in February or early
in March, at a prominent Broadway thea,
ter
Mr.. Crawford has very frequently been
asked for permission to dramatfze his
books, but he has always declined with
the statement that he himself would pre-
pare the stage versions, when he felt he
could do it in the right way. With this
end in view, he has made a special study
of play constructing, it is said, and the new
play is the result.
1t is understood that one of the best
known leading men has been practically
engaged for the part of DR.. Claudius; an
equally well known young actress for the
part of Lady Margaret, and an English
actor, who has frequently appeared in the
chief roles in important plays in New York,
for a strong charcter part.
In the event of the success of "Dr
Claudius" Mr.. Crawford, in addition to
dramatizing certain others of his novels.
has agreed to write an original play for
production next season.
