II was given out last week that the
long litigation between Messrs. Fisher
and Ryley on one side and John w.
Dunno on the other for a third inter-
est in the profits of "Florodora" has
been settled out of court and the mat
ter compromised Dunno, who always
claimed he was frozen out, Is said to
have accepted $4,000 in cash. and the
firm also assumes all legal expenses
attached to the suit up to the time of
the compromise. The story told by the
parties interested is that Fisher put up
the money to bring this piece over
from England, and Dunno and Ryley,
then partners, were 10 manage 1t with
him. "FlOrodora" was id by the
critics of New York, and for several
weeks looked like a failure At this
point a second assessment was needed
to meet the losses. and Fisher and Ry-
icy claim Dunno lost his interest in
the piece by not putting up the money
required. He afteTward sued. denying
this claim, and the compromise ends
it. An additional bit of gossip in con-
nection with the financial side of Flo
rOdOTa" is that it was Edna Wallace
Hopper who supplied the needed cash
that kept "Florodora" going until il
finally won out in Gotham. Since then
il has made a fortune for those con-
cerned. and Fisher & Ryley will hardly
miss the compromise money they have
paid out to Dunno.

N AVID BELASCO, whose success in
making actresses and actors out
of material not even regarded as
promising by other managers has won
for him a unique position in America s
theatrical light, unburdened himself
the other day OF fey ideas on the
subject Of dramatic talent: An actor
is born. not made. He may be a rough
diamond and need no end of polish, but
the stone must be pure or he will never
shine in the diadem of art He must
have the ability to act just as the
painter or the sculptor must be pos
sessed OF the ability TO prosecute his
art. This, in every instance, is a Cod
given talent. But the man who never
finds his peculiar bent VIII always be
a round peg in a square hole. Many a
bad actor may have been born a good
bricklayer; and have worn shoes that
were made by possible actors-they
surely were not made by good shoe
makers.
Now, how Is this rara avis a great
actor? In the first place he must pos
sess patience. perseverance and a
genius for hard work. These are es-
sentials- The man OF ability will re-

cism; he will have a sweet and SYM

suits TO his art.
There are those who early in their
careers have achieved a certain dis

this step by making another in the
right direction. they imagine them
selves on the top rung of the ladder,
and halt there forever or so ahead

next step possible, and so he climbs on
until he reaches the heights of the

less confidence and greater dependence.
and this is the real secret of his sue
cess, the secret Of his growth, his sim
piicity and modesty. for affected great

There is but one great artist in every

One Of the new plays OF the season is
to be Sweet Clover" It was written
by two young girl reporters, and is
declared to be as wholesome and as
fragrant as its title would indicate
The heroine, of course. has most of
the trouble and the serious dialogue.
Her name is Lois, and at one time she
says:
place your heel on clover bios
som. no matter how tenderly the dew
fails on it afterward it can't ever
raise its head so cheerily again. I'm
your broken slip Of clover. daddy. and
If l live at all, If there's any sweet
ness left, II Is because you love me-"
In another portion of the dialogue she
says: There's nothing in life like the
happiness love brings, and IL il comes
TO a woman's heart and she shuts il
out, no matter how she tries to fill her
life, to be faithful TO her duty. TO for
get, the old dream will not be van
ished, but return again and again to
haunt her with its sweetness"
A few of the contrasting speeches
follow:
The homely farmer says: They're
courtin' when they're almost too old
for life insurance" Aunt Abigale, the
old spinster: "FOolishness and spoon
mess is sometimes more senible than
sense"
Il suppose there has to be old maids
in the world or there wouldn't be no
one for folks to be maxim jokes
about"
They say them that has heart dis
ease for forty years always lives to
bury their relations"
"COurtin' and boss tradin' is consid-
cradle alike. A man makes a better
trade If he amt too impatient"
"A baIky horse always has the pleas
ATTEST expression on his face Just be-
fore he begins to balk"
