Clyde Eltch,s Method.

In the discovery of players Clyde Fitch has surpassed all of our modern stage managers, and in the casting of his plays he has, what might be called extraord-
 mary luck. But when his method is taken
 into account. another word must be found to suit the case It Is the result of system. He goes further than any of our dramatic authors in the production of plays. As is we'll known MT. Fitch be- sides having the final word in the selec- ton of the cast, takes full charge of re- hearsals He must be suited. likewise in the matter of scenery and properties. In point of fact, Fitch assumes all responsi- bilities for production v hen he has novelty in one of his plays he attends to its proper presentation. These condi-
 tions are a part of all his contracts with managers. and Is the secret of his success as author. stage manager and producer. If there is anything wrong about Fitch play. the company or the production he is responsible and the blame rests on his shoulders. This plan is followed by Pinero and Jones In England, only, they do not concern themselevs. as Fitch does
 in the endless search after new talent. Both in England and America. He Is a constant theartegoer So 1t is when he comes to cast play he is sure to have even before the play Is completed an actor or actress in mind for each role.
