THEATER TALK.

One of the undertakings which win
be watched with some degree OF curl
osity is the dramatizing Of Pilgrims
Progress" That the Bunyan classic
should fall victim to the adapter Is
but the natural result OF the success
which the Ben Greet production Of
..Everyman" scored in this country.
Charles Frohman doubtless had little
idea that the old morality play would
find such patronage as it did; but, the
patronage having been bestowed, y
was inevitable that some similar pro-
duction should be thought out for next
season. And Pilgrims Progress,
even though few people read 1t now-
adays. bears a title well enough known
to make it desirable. And. further
more. the same tint Of sanctity can be-
thrown about it's presentation -
proved so efficacious where Every
man. was concerned.
That religious subject could be made
profitable material for stage use has
long been believed by certain promote
ers of the drama.
The disfavor with which the Morse
presentment Of the passion play was
received a few decades ago made II
clear to the managerial mind. however.
that strictly Biblical themes were Aa-
bic to arouse opposition. But the reli-
eious allegcry "Everyman" showed
them that certain subjects were not
only permissible for theatric purposes.
but were sure Of liberal patronage.
The old morality play was listened 20
reverently and decorously by large au-
diences, the moral, ethical and educa-
tional value of the piece was comment
+ ed on by critic, preacher and peda-
gogue, and all this brought good round
dollars into the managerial Golfer.
That "Pilgrim's Progress" will in nc-
wise offend the religious scruples OF
the playgoing public is certain. And.
therefore, it is to be adapted, and It
will be made one of the important
productions of the coming season.
That Mr.. Frohman will bring 1t out
in a style quite different from that In
which "Everyman" was done is to be
gathered from the statement that the
play will be in nineteen scenes and that
over 200 persons will be employed In
the performances.
1t is evident that the Bunyan preach-
ment is to be done into a stage specs
tacle. Curiosity as to who will accom-
plish the dramatization is not slight.
A skilled and judicious hand might
make the play an impressive one. both
from a literary and theatric view
point, but only little bungling would
be required to convert the dramatiza-
ton into spectacular monstrosity.
A new definition of the derivation OF
the term "greenroom" has recently ap-
peared.
When travelling troupes were licensed
as the servants of great noblemen. on
coming to any country town their
habit was to crave permission to
play within it's borders from the re-
sponsible town authorities. Leave to
use the town hall was often given, and
as the council chamber usually adjoin-
ed one end of such hall 1t naturally
suggested itself as the actors robing
room. The council chamber was gem
orally known as the agreeing e

Strangely enough. Travis and Black

ers of the worlds record drives. The
Englishman once sent the ball 3s7
yards over the famous ST. Andrews
links in Britain. where golf has been
developed to it's present state of per-
lection. Travis falls short of the for
mer's mark with a record of 362 yards
made at Garden City, N. Y, his home
club.

Hutchinson's Career.

Horace G. Hutchinson has been for
years one of Engiand's most noted ex-
ponents of the art of stick welding.
That Travis would defeat him no one,
not even the most enthusiastic Ameri-
can, believed. Hutchinson is veteran
in every sense OF the word. He con-
tracted the championship habit away
back in 1886. when he won the amateur
title. The next year he repeated. But
all champions look alike to Travis. The
longer q mans pedigree the better he
likes to defeat him.

champion's Strong Personality.

With the same logged persistency
exerted in other directions Travis
would become leader in the stock
market or the discoverer of some secret
sought for through centuries by al
chemists. He is the type of man that
scorns opposition. that ridicules proph-
esied disaster, that has just enough
confidence in himself to achieve his
ambitions. Self confidence of this sort
is not conceit. 1t is gift. 1t might be
