SILVER WINGS ON THE STAGE
Mrs. Carter Harrison's Chndren's
Book Dramatized.

It is now definitely announced that
Mrs. Carter Harrison's successful book
of fairy tales, prince Silver Wings"
has been drama tized and will be present.
ed next season as a summer attraction
at one of the large Chicago houses. The
suggestion of the dramatic possibilities
of the book came first from MIR. Harry
J. Powers, manager of Powers Theater,
Chicago, who stated to Mrs. Harrison
that in his opinion the opportunity for
making of Prince Silver Wings a dis
tinctively original extravaganza was a
most exceptional one.
Stimulated by this Mrs Harrison laid
the matter before her publishers, A. G.
McClurg & Co, of Chicago, who very
promptly concurred in Mr. Powers Sug-
gestion and offered to make the neces-
sary arrangements for carrying it out.
AS Mrs. Harrison felt that the co-opera-
ton of an experienced playwright was
necessary for the ambitious undertake
ing, 1t was decided to call on Mr.. L.
Frank Baum. the well known author of
the book and play of THE Wizard of
o." as well as of other fairy books
and plays for children. The idea ap
pealed to him from the start. and to
his hand therefore was entrusted the
writing of the scenario and the drama
tisation. This is now finished and has
been copyrighted, and those who have
seen it pronounce it one of Mr.. Baums
most original creations.
The collaboration is a peculiarly hap
Ply one-Mrs. Harrison's refined and
charming story telling abilities supple
mented by Mr.. Baum's startling inven-
tiveness and practical experience. The
play is in three acts and seven gorge
oas scenes. and is called a musical
fairy spectacle description which
promises a rare treat in store for chill
dren of all ages.
