PLACING NEW PLAYS.

Public Opinion.


A recent issue of the New York Times
contains an interview with Miss Elizabeth
Marbury, a well-known New York agent
for the sale of plays, in which some
count is given of the manner in which play
wright and manager are brought TO a
knowledge of each other nowadays. Some
idea of the scope of Miss Marbury's opera
tons may be gained from the statement
that 'she is the representative of all the
French authors for plays in England and
America, places English plays in America
American plays in England, and English
and American plays in Germany. Recently
she has been made representative for En-
glish-speaking playwrights in Manila. She
has offices In New York, London, Paris and
| rical matters in the Transvaal, in Johannes
burg. and Cape Town as in New York
There is a big business in plays done be-
tween London and India and she knows
the secrets of theatrical matters in Aus
tralia. To keep this system running means
that an enormous number of plays must
be considered in the course OF year. There
is an immense amount of business aside
from this, but the plays are the foundation
of 1t all, and they must be carefully read
From 5000 to 5000 come to the four Offices
during the year Miss Marbury reads on
! an average four or five plays a day. In
her work, aside from reading plays, she
makes the terms between the playwright
and manager or star; makes the contracts
collects the royalties and attends to the
matter OF copyright In handling foreign
plays"

Private elevators-that Is. elevators IN
strictly private residences-are still meas

do not enter into this question OF hats

domestic appointments of the residence.

matter Of their use. In a general way IL
might be said that whatever Is permissible
in the kitchen or the parlor or the hall or
on the stairs would be permissible In such
an elevator as well.
We are glad that our correspondent has
suggested the ''semi-public'' elevator in
this connection. In that category she
means to include, no doubt, the elevators
in well-appointed and well-managed apart

Such a Work.
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
What has been hailed by the Colorado
Springs Gazette as great literary discov-
cry has been made by Eugene Field, IT.,
son of the late Eugene Field. In looking
over his fathers papers he found the COM
plete manuscript to comic opera, which he
announces will be put on next rail- In New
York. ii is reported
II has been known for years in Chicago
that Field had written an opera or the KIND
He did most of the writing after he came
to Chicago. Most of the outline was COM
pleted about 1852.
Field was accustomed to talk over his
projected work with his newspaper friends.
and his debut as librettist was the subject
of many jests among his intimates In his
little office between work hours.

poet and author of "A Study of Eugene
Field" often talked with him about it,

little faith in his own ability for handling
dialogue. / never knew that he finished the
work, and shall be very much surprised II

THE Buccaneers, or the Begun of Piura,"
as the opera is to be called, is written on
sixty-five pages of square paper in the
small, clear hand which Field always wrote.
There are many beautiful verses in ii and
some jovial bits, such as the song the be-
gum sings, THE Begun OF Piura, L.
Here is a poem among those recently
brought to light
BY day upon the billowy sea,
Amid the breakers suIlen roar,

For one more sigh, o love, of thee!
And II | see thee on the sands,
Though angry waves between us roll,

By night upon the solemn deep
A shadow haunts my biding place,
And visions of thy lovely face
Come to me in my fevered sleep;
thine eyes with pity beam,
AS IL they would compassion take,
And. wildly hoping, l awake
To find my dream was but dream!
So. all the night upon the sea,
My tortured soul is turned TO thee
Another lyric is this:
Love calls but once. and he who hears
The music Of that heavenly call.
Sings but this song through all the years
The old love is the best OF all.
Ave. though IL be a Christening rod.
We kiss the face beneath the pail.
And. mute with anguish. bless our God,
The old love Is the best of all.
And though our heads be bowed and gray
And that dear love beyond recall.
We sing the good old song for aye
The old love is the best OF all.
And so, sweet love, may you and
In heaven above this song recall
Still ringing In eternity,
The old love is the best of all!

Love mt Sea.

We are in loves land to-day;
Where shall we GO?
Love, shall we start or stay.
Or sail or row?
There's many a wind and way,
And never a May but May;
We are in loves hand to-day;
Where shall we go?
Our land-wind Is the breath
OF sorrows kissed TO death
And joys that were;
Our ballast is rose;
Our way lies where God knows,
And love knows where
We are in loves hand to-day
Our seamen are fiedged Loves.
Our mas.s are bills OF doves,
Our decks fine gold:
Our ropes are dead maids hair
Our stores are love shafts fair
And manifold.
We are in loves land to-day
Where shall We land you. sweet?
On fields Of strange mems feet?
Or fields near home?
Or where the fire-fiowers blow
Or where the flowers OF snow
Or flowers OF foam?
We are in loves hand to-day
Land me. she says, where love
Shows hut one shaft, one dove,
One heart. one hand
A shore lie that my dear,
Lies where 10 man will steer.
No maiden land.
