E. II. Sothern has just purchased
the American rights to Theodore Burt
Sayre's latest Play, a four-act costume
comedy. The part to be played by Mr..
Sothern is that of an English noble
man who was as famous for his wit
and poetry as for his love of romance
and adventure. The love story of this
eccentric peer forms the basis of the
play, which is said to have strong
emotional interest, although comedy
predominates. In addition to pur-
chasing the play, Mr.. Sothern has com
missioned Mr.. Sayre to write for him
a romantic drama which is to be com
pleted by next September.

serious illness.
Kipling is not a favorite with all
readers. A great many do not under
stand his humor. Women as rule do
not enjoy his writings. His boldness
and subtleties are mainly masculine.
He wrote one great poem, 1.-The Recess
siOnal," and this will probably live as
long as England lives. 1t is a prayeE,
an admonition:
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
His latest effort in this line is his
masterpiece on expansion: Take UI
the White Mans Burden"
Perhaps no one writer receives as
large a price for his work as Kipling
For eight short stories he has received
nearly $4,000. Payment from other
countries nearly doubles this sum. In
addition to this he receives royalties
which swell his aggregate yearly in
come to about $4,000. His Illness has
doomed his books, and people who
scarcely heard of the poet before arc
now reading his works. "Plain Tales
from the Hills" is perhaps the most
popular of his writings at present.
The poem, 'rhe Widow at Windsor. "
is one of the best Kipling has written
in the spirit of proud glorying In Brit
