LONDON, September q, 1905
If r. c. Cartons new play, Public
Opinion" which is now in active re-
hearsal at Wyndtams. should prove
a success. Charles Frohman will have
reason for some little chagrin. Mr.
Frohman and the author of Liberty
Hail. parted company last year. and one
infers 1t was at the wish of the former, the
last three plays by Carton which the Amer
lean manager produced having proved
gloomy failures Really, it looked If

pertinent" had lost its cunning. for "A
Clean Slate was even less successful than
its predecessor. THE Undercurrent," had
been. while the fate of THE Rich Mrs. Rep
tom was still more unhappy. All three
pieces were given ON both sides of the
Atlantic by Mr.. Frohman, whose relations
with Carton began with the production of
Lady Huntworth's Experiment."
So these relations were broken off, and
Cartons next play, Mr.. Hopkinson," was
put on by Frohman's young English rival.
Frank Curzon, and proved about as big a
success as the drainatist ever has had.
With James WEIGH to play the little bound
er, who is its hero" the comedy ran for
800 nights at Wyndham's. and is now play
ing to big business in the provinces. This
must have made Mr.. Frohman feel good.
Cartons new play. Public Opinion" is
also being produced by Curzon. It is de-
scribed as in the dramatist's lightest vein,
and If 1t should prove that Carton has got
back into his stride again. his late man
ager will have good reason to wish he had
kept on a while longer.
An interesting recent announcement is TO
the effect that Capt. Robert Marshalls cid
er brother has followed his example and
tried his hand at play-writing. Stephen
Marshall like the author of "A Royal Fam
ily" His Exceliency the Governor" and

Incidentally the musician is enthusiastic
over the quality of his librettist He has

If that is true. Major Marshall should not
experience much difficulty in getting pro-
duced," for few iramatists of recent years

personally dislike to execute the sem

the death penalty should be enforced

cort, ard no more loyal hearts ever
