Stellar contributions, chiefly from soci-
ETY. and the prize-ring continue to pour in
upon the stage. The next ornament to
the dramatic profession will be Fitzsirn-
mons, who is to appear as hero of melo-
drama and knock out the villain who has
betrayed his sister.
Martin Julian has commissioned Hal
Reid to write the play for the doughty
Bob's debut, and thinking perhaps that
he will feel more at home in an occupation
that he has once actually adorned Fitz-
simmons will appear as blacksmith.
OF course h. will impersona!e all that is
good and noble, as becomes hero OF
melodrama. In the first act he will de-
light the audience by shoeing horse on
the stage. Later on in the proceedings,
when he finds that villain has broken
his sisters heart and wrecked his little
home he gives vent to such noble senti-
ments as ''The strong and honest arm OF
the blacksmith shall stand between you
and shame"

never expect TO shine alone, and the worst
of IL was that no sooner was Corinne left

kicked over the traces and demanded the
dismissal OF all the other talent from the

Her managers could do nothing with
her, and on her last visit to the Colum bia

critics praised Cawthorn and some of the
others more than they did Corinne. In
fact the San Francisco criticisms set the
thing going. Corinne demanded their
dismissal, and the managers insisted that
the star could do nothing without good
support.
'The poor girl was badly advised She
had fallen in love with c. Reguson, the
conductor OF the orchestra, who was ten

first love affair. and she took it very seri-

gers of brain fever by wrestling with the
intrlcacies of Bradshaw Certainly not
enough to make the joke commonly un-
derstood.
The fact is that in selecting plays
scarcely a man among the managers
seems to have any opinion of his own
Judgment. but their universal maxim
seems to be- when in doubt go 10 Europe
for plays" and the American pnblic is so
enured 10 this method of procedure that
it takes imported plays as a matter of
course.
Francis Powers Chinese play is an
other proof. if another proof were needed,
of how wonderfully rich this country is
in dramatic subjects that lend themselves
to strong local coloring. From Maine to
San Francisco the country abounds with
rich fields for the dramatist. Only a
month or two ago we saw Shore Acres,
a play full of the atmosphere of New
England, and now we are given its very
antithesis in 1.-The First Born" which is
redoIent of the Orient, but it reproduces
passions, sighs. sounds and (alas! that it
should be said) smells that all exist on
American soil. The great American play
of the future will not be Chinese, but il
IS hopeful sign when Ameri-
can authors plunge themselves, as
Francis Powers has done, into the actual
tiles of the life they see around them,
even if it is only the life of Chinatown, for
it shows that they are going TO nature for
their subjects, and the great American
play, when it does come. will be racy OF

deal talked about, but mana ers do not
seem to have much real faith in its advent.
1t will come, however, although the day
may tarry, and when il does a reaction
will follow in its wake. Managers will
turn then to- America for plays and
Americans will no longer have to sit like
foreigners in their own theaters, laughing
ieebly at imported jokes they do not un-
derstand. MARIE EVELYN.
