Augustus Thomas, a playwright
who enjoys very great and very well
deserved vogue at the present time,
invariably shares his royalties with
the person who first persuaded him to
take up his profession, says Munsey's
Magazine. Many years ago, in st.
Louis, while sitting on his knee, lit
tie girl told Mr., Thomas that she had
just read perfectly beautiful story
in St. g Nicholas Mr.. Thomas. very
much interested, asked her to lend
him the magazine. The story was Mrs.
Francis Hodgson Burnett's "Edithas
Burglar" Mr.. Thomas dramatized it
--or; rather, he used the characters
of the little girl and the burglar, and
out of the situation evolved a very
sweet and charming little play Of his
own. 1t f ~
When FThe Burglar" as he called it,
was put upon the stage, its success
was instantaneous. 1t proved the COR
nerstone of his artistic career. which
has since produced such fine comedies
as Alabama" I'm MizzouTaF "Ari-
zona," "The Earl of Pawtucket,
Mrs. Lefingwell's Boots" and The
Other GirlP OF course he has not
been wholly exempt from failure, The
prestige of Alabama" and Arizona
did not save him when he went a lit-
tie farther down the list of states and
wrote Colorado" but few play
wrights have been consistent, in the
quality of their work. IL
The little girl who unconsciouslyS
started him on the road to fame is
now Mrs. Augustus Thomas. a1 "a

no place in the hearts OF Cambridge
citizens for sentiment, and none arose
in the hearts of their descendants to
prompt them to preserve the old land
mark. The toll house was first used
when the West Boston bridge, known
as the great bridge" was completed
ir 1893. No person was allowed to
pass over without first visiting the
dollhouse to pay the pittance which
was demanded of him. In 1903 Moses
Hadley was made the toll collector,
and continued in that capacity until
1858, when the bridge was made a
free bridge.

birth, for in that year it came into
the hands of John Gebhard, burgo-
master of Frankfort-on-the-M Main, and

remained in the family. The sturdy
burgomaster bequeathed it to his
