The principal characters are either In
standing with the Diplomatic Corps or
members of the household of the Secretary
Of State. The intriguing, if such it may
be called, is not the intrigue in which Dip
lomats are commonly supposed to partici-
pate. 1t is the intrigue of love.
The Secretary of State has a daughter.
Faith Ruthervell, and the Secretary be-
lieves she should marry the man he has
picked out for his future son-in-law. The
young lady naturally objects. inasmuch as
she has ideas on that subject herself. The
Secretary refuses to give his consent to her
marriage with anyone else, and harassed,
yet defiant, Faith leaves her fathers home

starred by the Liebler company, has
caused a coed deal of comment, due
doubtless to the fact that the play was
not losing any money at the time its en-
gagement at the Park Theatre. Philadel-
phia. was brought to a sudden close last
week. George Tyler. for the Liebier
Company, requested Playwright Mitchell
to make certain changes in the piece,
which Mr. Mitchell refused to do Mr..
Tyler retaliated by telling the dramatist
that the play would be taken off the
boards at once, and followed up this an
nouncement by posting the usual two
weeks notice on the call board of the
theatre.
Mr.. Tyler's sole contention is that. in
his opinion. certain changes were neces-
sary to make tine play q, real success, and
upon Mr.. Mitchells ITpfdsing to make
these alterations the Liebler company
merely exercised their rights in the mat
ter and withdrew the piece. Mr.. Mitch
ellis side of the story is vastly more in
teresting. This is what he says regarding
the matter:
THE real point of this unfortunate dis
pute concerns the nature Of the chang
which Mr.. Tyler asked me to make. He
proposed number of alterations. Typi-
cal of these suggestions is the fol-
lowing reconstruction of the last act:
That the thief, Francois, should return
as hero of the battle of Marengo ard
should marry Clarice, the daughter of a
French marquis of the old regime, and
thus end the play. I think I need make
no comment on that marriage. Whether
Francois was to return as a marshal OF
France. or major general, or n general,
or 4 colonel, or a captain. was not stipu-
lated. but a hero he was positively to be.
Now Mr.. Tyler asked me originally to
write play that would appeal to the
most Intelligent and cultivated audience.
the same audience that Becky Sharp ap-
pealed to. He now desires me to write
play which would appeal to what I be-
lieve are KNOWN as the ten. twenty, and
thirty audience. I refuse to comply with
such proposition. and I am sure that

John T. Sullivan, the skillfuI portrayer
OF stage rascals at the Lafayette Square,
has become an immense favorite with the
matinee girls Of the Capital. In a Metro
politan line car the other morning he re-
signed his seat in favor OF pretty miss,
and the same afternoon this note came to
the theatre:
