 AMELIA BINGHAM TO WRITE.
 The theatregoing public will recall with pleasure the performance of Amelia Bingham here in the fall when she played 'The Frisky Mrs. John son" to a. packed house, and will hear with interest of the fact that she is to write for Madame about her stage 1 experience. Of her an exchange says: Amelia Bingham. the only woman on the American stage who has sue cessfully essayed the dual role of man. agefess and star, will contribute the article for the March number of Madame in the series by the most cell ebrated living artists which began in the January issue. Miss Bingham will. in her article, take up the duties of a manager and how much the pro- duoer of a play owes to the public. There will be discussed every phase of the situation from the time the play Is accepted until the dress rehearsal the night before its public premiere. She \ will write entertainingly on how the cast will be selected, the question of adjustment of salaries, and in fact every vital issue appertaining to the theatrical profession.
 Miss Bingham is well qualified to speak of these matters, for in the pe- riod she has been identified with the drama. she has done may remarkable things. One of them Is the creation of The Amelia Bingham Company, one of the strongest theatrical organizations ever seen in this country-a company which for playing strength has never been surpassed even by the many so- called all star organizations. Miss Bingham produces The Climbers the greatest society drama Clyde Fitch | ever wrote, and from the cast that was identifed with this play, five artists graduated within two years to staring honors, She is at present touring in a repertoire of her successes, and at the solicitation of Madame will com 1 tribute the third article of the series. "In this article for Madame Miss Bingham will tell of the numerous big successes she has produced"
