started off like this: Ere, sir, lies the

THAT ATRocIoUs PRIZE PLAY.

In the report and comment on the

last Tuesday morning, the unfortunate
statement was made that "as a matter
of curiosity it would be interesting to

One hastens to state that whatever
curiosity was aroused at the time has
quickly subsidized in the face of cordial
offers from at least 290 owners of re-
jected manuscripts to submit their
plays for private reading.
Each author seems firm in the>con-
viction that his manuscript was SUI
perior to the one awarded the prize,
an assertion which Is easy to believe In
spite OF the well known abilities Of the
gentlemen who composed the commit
tee which made the final selection.
The rejected authors are unanimous
in their decision to enter their plays in
the George Fawcett competition to be
held in Baltimore shortly, and thereby
win a vindication.
If these plays are not better than
Miss Morton's composition it is pity
that they did not reach Baltimore be-
fore the big fire.
Miss Morton has written so cleverly
for the stage in the past that it seems
remarkable not only that such futile
effort should have been entered into a
competition, but also that it should
have been the prize winner.

HOW ONE JOB WAS GOT.

When William Norris first thought
of going to America his friends said
the man to see was Charles Hoyt, the
we'll known American playwright, who
was then in London. They gave him
to understand, or at least from what
they said he got the impression, that
to play in the United States without
first seeing Mr.. Hoyt would be like
making a tour without a manager or
advertising.
He soon secured an introduction. Mr.
Hoyt was just what he had pictured
an American to be. He wore a broad
hat, shook Norris hand until he
thought he had taken at least two fin
gers. and was what Norris would have
called typical Yankee. He had a
rugged, amusing bluntness, and an ut
ter disregard for the conventional

Norris told him mildly that he could

But that won't pay your passage, boy.
