had almost equal success. Regardless
of the amusing comment which the IT,

knowledges that more instructive and
interesting story has seldom been writ

or this play was made by John r.

OF the temperance agitation that awoke
with the advent OF Mrs. Nation and
who is said TO have made a fortune by
mis- resurrection OF play that used TO
entertain our fathers and mothers.
Next week complete production by
a company OF 90 Is promised for the
presentation at the Grand.
The popularity OF sketches in vaude-

secured for next week an attraction

not yet twenty-seven years of age.
has been In newspaper work for more
than eleven years. and is known TO
theatrical New York as the general
press representative OF the Shubert the
aters and attractions. He can be seen
at his Office from 10 IN the morning
until after midnight. This precludes
all social gatherings, He prefers n
quiet lunch or dinner with q congenial
few He reads plays or books on tho
way to and from his office; writes plays
or criticisms when other people sleep.
SIX hours sleep Il an unusual amount
for him. He makes notes on anything
handy--frequently letter or the back
Of a play--or the fly leaf OF a book is
used as the receptacle Of an idea he has
formulated for future work.
His newspaper career began In Salt
Lake when he WAS about fourteen years
OF age In the Office Of the Herald,
where his father was managing edl-
tor.
The elder Pollock sent his wife
and children 10 his birthplace that
every educational advantage might be
gwen them. For three years chan
ming WAS a student al the Politechnlque
III The Prague. Then his father was
offered consulship in Central Amert-
ca, and the little family was reunited.
Yellow fever soon claimed the father.
This calamity threw the burden Of sup
port on the son, and upon his return
to America he went TO Salt lake city
and began newspaper work where his
father Ind left on.
The best that can be said Of Chan
ming Pollock Is that his mothers face
bears testimony 10 the care he has taxi
en- OF her There Is not line nor wrln-
kle on her Youthful face TO speak OF
anything but tenderness and protection
on his part, Up TO the last few years,
when business demands grew greater
and the strain became more constant,
his relations with his mother We're more
like that OF swecthearts than that OF
mother and son. His letters 20 her Will
one day make interesting reading. Her
influence is plainly 10 be seen IN "The
Little Gray Lady" and no more nit

The play was written and rewritten,
then read and re-read 10 his mother
