UNPUBLISHED PLAY
BY OSCAR WILDE

LONDON. June 3o.-At the moment
of writing the theatrical event of the
future which is being awaited with
most interest in London is the coming
production of Oscar Wllde's short un-
published PLAY. "A Florentlne Tragedy"
which will be given with an especially
strong cast at the Kings Hall, Covent
Garden.
This is undoubtedly one of the most
striking pieces of work that its author
ever did. and it would not be surpris-
ing If the production in London led to
performances of it being given in the
Unifed States. but perhaps the most
interesting thing about the play is the
curious story of its disappearance
from its authors study soon after 1t was
originally completed. and OF how, five
years afterward. another draft was dis
covered by Wiide's literary executor
and by him pieced together for use
upon the stage
This story has just come to light.
having been related by Robert Ross,
the literary executor" in question. and
the editor OF Wilde's "De Profundis,"
apropos OF the first production of the
little play. According to llr Ross, "A

CLUBMAN TO JOIN
THE IDORA SINGERS

The excellent eperatic organization
at Idora Park. Oakland's popular
amusem resort. is drawing immense
audiences to listen to the beautiful
strains of Audran's charming opera,
"Olivette," and enjoy the exceptionally
clever libretto and funny situations. AS
Coquelicot Ferris Hartman keeps the
ter whenever he is on the stage. This
clever comedian has never done better
work in his long stage career. Arthur
Cunningham is an excellent Captain de
Merrinac and his solos are encored
nightly Eugene Wciner and Joseph
Fogarty are both more than satis1ac-
torN and the ensemble work is very
good.
The two prima donnas of the COM
pany have exceptional opportunities in
this opera and are not slow to grasp
them.
AS Olivette Hope Mayne captivates
her audiences, for she has one of the
most attractive personalities we have
ever seen on the Light opera stage.

mezzo-soprano voice, which she uses
skillfully and possesses consumnrate

Sybil Page, the lyric soprano, was
raised in San Francisco and is a grand
daughter sof the late Pat Reddy, an
able lawyer of the Californian bar.
Her sister, Lillian Coleman, was here
with Roger Brothers and is considered
one of the best contraltos on the light
opera stage, and Miss SybiI bids fair
to reach the same reputation as a
soprano. Miss Page possesses a very
true, clear and rich soprano, which she
uses most cfeverly ana musically for
she is mot alone a vocalist. but also
an accomplished pianist and thorough
musician. The voice has been well
trained and is really fitted for grand
and dramatic opera, but Miss Page Is
young and is satisfied to gain her ex-
perience in the lighter works. 1t is
only q question of "a short time when
we will hear some good things of this

Florentine Tragedy was originally
written for George Alexander and was
completed in April. 1895. only few
days before Wilde was declared a bank
rupt.
My friend then asked me-" says Mr.
Ross. ito go to his house and-take pos
session of all his unpublished manu-
scripts, and I managed to reach his
residence just before the bailiffs- en-
tered. OF course the authors letters
and manuscripts would have been ex-
empt from seizure. but l found that
the manuscript of "A Florentine
Tragedy together with the manu-
scripts of two other unpublished plays
and the enlarged version Of The Por-
trait of Mr.. w. H.. upon which 1 knew
Wilde was enga ged, had mysteriously
disappeared. Some one had been there
before me-"
Ross adds that the thief was never
discovered. nor did the stolen manu-
scripts of "A Florentine Tragedy" and
The Portrait of Mr.. w. H. ever come
to light. although that of the third
play. The Duchess of Padua," was
discovered by q friend of Wilde's in a
1897 and promptly forwarded to it's au-
thor in Paris. After Wilde's death III
1900, however, Mr.. Ross says he had
occasion to sort mass of letters and
papers which had been forwarded to
him by the authors solicitors, and
among them he found some loose sheets
containing the draft of "a play which
he recognized as the "Florentine
Tragedy
Oddly enough, there Is another chap
ter to the rather singular story of this
Oscar Wilde play. for the coming pro-
siuction of "A Florentine Tragedy has
led we'll known English author and
playwright to come forward with a
voluntary statement. lest he should be
accused of literary theft after the pre-
sentation of the piece This is w. J.
Locke. who wrote ''The Morals of Mar
Gus Ordeyne" and who produced d one
act play a while ago called Flower O.
the Rose" in which the story, and
especially the concluding incident of
THE Florentine Tragedy" were ex
actly reproduced.
Mr. Locke says that although he
knew the idea of his piece was Oscar
Wilde's he had no idea that Wilde
had carried out his intention in writ
ing Il play around it. 1t seems that
long after wilde's death Locke was
told by Lewis Waller, the actor. that
the author of Lady Windemere's Fan"
had offered to write "A Florentine
Tragedy for him, but that the play
never had been actually written, Then
why should ! not write you a play on
the Blorentine theme?" said Locke, and
Waller thought it a good idea. "All he
had told me of it, SAYS Locke, had
been told in five minutes2-it was. aim
ply the situation and the two conclud~
ing lines
So Locke wrote his i'EIoyyer o. the
Rose: and it was done at the Clement
Scott benefit matinee. a year or two
ago, when Mr.. Locke says, 1t was his
intention that the piece should be an
nounced as founded OF a plot by the
late Oscar Wilde-" To this, however,
the puritanic organizers of the matt
nee objected. il seems, and so now that
the original Wilde play has come to
light Mr.. Locke is. naturally anxious
that the circumstances under which his

should be known fully

To Deepen the Thames.

LONDON, june 30.-Some interesting
correspondence has passed between
John Struthers. author of IAN Auxiliary
Port for London" and the Board of
Trade. with reference to the projected
deepening of the main channel in the
Thames in the estuary. and the estab-
lishment of deep-sea port for the
metropolis on a new supplementary
channel. Mr.. Struthers contended that
1t is possible to provide a supplement
tary channel thirty feet deep at low
water between the Leigh middle shoa1
and the north foreshore (tO enable
vessels now detained to proceed up or
down river at all states of the tfde)
at much less cost and in much less
time than the projected work of the
Thames COnservancy Board. That be-
ing so (the onus of proof to the con-
trary being left to the board). il was
the considered) incumbent on the
board 10 take such steps as would
prevent a waste OF public money.
The Board of Trade replied that they
did not think it necessary to add any
thing to the terms Of their previous
sietter upon the subject Gin which any
consideration was declined until the
scheme is in a shape involving propo-
sitions which are likely to be taken up
practically and effectively in ne Aear
future"
