THE NOVEL AND THE DRAMA
Nearly All Popular Books Have
Been Dramatized-


Dramatized novels continue to hold
prominent place in the current annals
Of the stage, says a New York paper.
Among Well-knoWn books which enter
prising managers have had made into
plays are When KnighthoOd Was in
Flower" in which Julia Afarl0we plays
rebellious Mary Tudor Richard Car
We" wherein John Drew strives to sim
ulate the strong man OF Maryland;
Janice Meredith" which supplies Mary
David Harum,'' which w H. Crane
enacts most happily, and In the Palace
of the King" which supplies Viola Allen
with a role highly dramatic These are
a few Of the most successful. Others
have met with more or less prosperity,
and, strange to relate, one, The Adven-
lures of Francois which by reason of
its clever star actor and the quality Of
the book original was expected to
achieve success failed entirely, and re-
ceived but a few performances Truly,
the dramatizing OF novels is prOblemati-
cal. and not to be eare1essly done. One
great advantage. of course, is the adj
Vertising the book has had, which fur
nishes q reputation ready made for the
play On the other hand there is such
a vogue Just now for this form OF drama
that many nOvelists are writing with
the play-bee buzzing in their bonnetS-
Dramatic scenes are devised and then
written up to. In this way much OF the
fine art and Subtlety OF the purely
literary side Of the book Is lost An ex-
citing dramatic chapter in a book is not
absolutely essential to make a good play
out Of it. Look at -Trflby-" Was ever
man more T1d1culeQ than Paul Potter
when he announced his intention Of
dramatizing Du Maurier'a rambling mar
rative- No one could see a play in it.

play made out OF -Trflbys' scored one

It Is Playing Havoc Even in New
York.

In New York there has been a sudden
drop in theatrical receipts since the first
Of the year. says a Chicago paper Up
10 that time the theaters had been more
than usually prosperous, but the past
week has shown something of a decline
in attendance, and the statement that
comes from New York at present is Of
fair business This condition is ac-
counted for to- some extent on the
ground that many of the biggest at
fractions opened in New York earlier
this season than usual and that there
have been more novelties" in the way
OF productions than customary at the
opening OF a. season. consequently more
interest in theatrical amusements. 1t
is argued that theatrical patronage is
getting back to its normal condition
