men whose rise in the world was due,
primarily. to a lucky accident Most
people will declare, no doubt, that the
man who wrote The Second Mrs:
Tanquerav" and THE Gay Lord
Ouexa was bound TO get 10 the top,
luck or no luck, but the fact remains
that the distinguished dramatists
original boost was due to simple
mistake.
He was, of course, an actor to be-
gin with, and it seems that while
playing a round, of stock business
at the Alexandra Theater, Liverpool,
he was cast for very small part IN
The Woman in White" On the hrst
night Wilkie Collins was so struck
with the performance of one OF the
other actors in the piece that on his
return to town he asked his manager,
one Cavendish, to engage the capable
player In reading the play bill to
Cavendish. however, Collins somehow
mixed up the names and thus Arthur
Pinero was engaged.
But for this fuke," said the play
wright in describing the occurrence
in club the other day, / might
even now be playing low comedy at
two guineas week in the provinces.
Max Pemberton, it seems, was bv
no means discouraged by the non
success of his first long play, which
saw the light at Wyndham's some
thing like a year ago. Named The
Finishing School" it ran only a week
or two. The novelist has been work
ing intermittently. on a much more
ambitious stage piece, which is now
finished and has just been accepted
by London manager. At present.
moreover, Pemberton is busy revising
the stage version of his own novel,
"Kronstadt," which was made by the
late Addison Bright, and if these
pieces should happen to please their
author is avowedly desirous of fol-
lowing the lead of J. NJ Barrie, Israel
Zangwill and Richard Harding Davis
and give his complete attention to the
stage.
At present, however, he has two
new novels in hand, one of which,
The Diamond Ship" will probably

English Autoists Using
Spirits in Lieu of Gasoline

~ ONSUL JOHN l. GRIFFITHS
4 in Liverpool after close inquiry
I has discovered that the price
in England for wood alcohol
from manufacturers to first hands.
such as wholesalers, large manu-
faeturers, etc, is from 40 to 4S cents
an imperial gallon In connection
with the investigation he said.
AS to the present price in Eng
land OF grain alcohol to first harGs
there is apparently very little grain
alcohol used The price is 81 cents
per proof gallon and 80 cents when
it is 25 degrees OverproOf. This is
for the oil itself, as an extra charge is
made for the casks; but the oil will
be delivered at this time, plus the cost
OF the casks, at the prices named free
on board steamers at Liverpool.
The largest oil importers at Liver
pool state that the price of gasoline
to first hands is "a cents a gallon.
They also state. however, that gasO-
line is not used in England as fuel
for motor cars or automobiles, but
simply for lighting purposes, and that
what Is used for fuel IS known by the
name of motor spirit. the price of
which. to first hands. they give as
% cents gallon. All the answers
received indicate that there is prac-
tically no demand for alcohol TO be
used as fuel for engines, automobiles.
etc Officials of one of the largest
Liverpool chemical companies stated
that they know of nothing that is
used for denaturizing grain alcohol
when freed from tax but methyl

ONDON, Aug. II-If the pro-
j yincial tour OF The Lion and
the Mouse which Walter Max
we'll is taking out this week,
should happen to prove big success,
it is probable that Charles Frohman
will be an excessively annoyed man.
There is more than chance that this
will come off, too, for it was gen
orally agreed that its foreign "atmos-
phere" was all that prevented the
Klein play from scoring hit when
it was originally presented in London,
and when the piece is given in the
big provincial cities there will be no
cause for fault finding on this score,
at any rate.
For prior to trying the famous
American play on audiences in the
provinces Walter Maxwell, who is an
old hand at the theatrical game in
this country, has had its action en-
tirely transferred to England and
made English men and women of its
characters. So, if it should prove that
this was just the one thing necessary
to make The Lion and the Mouse"
go with British audiences, doubtless
both Frohman and Charles Klein will
be aggrieved to think that this wasn't
done at the outset or before the piece
was put on at the Duke of Yorks
And in that case, too, the question
is sure TO come up again as to
whether it is or isn't expedient to
'anglicize" American pieces before
they are produced in this country.
Most critics averred, it may be re-
membered, that "Shore Acres" failed
in London for the very reason that
its setting was transferred from New
England to Cornwall, and so there
will be abundant chance for argu-
ment over this point in case The
Lion and the Mouse makes good in
its English guise. 1t is to be played
in the chief provincial cities by a
cast that includes Christine Silver in
the part originally created by Mrs.
Dan Frohman and will be produced
for Maxwell by William Postance,
who used to be with William Gillette
and who was also responsible for the
Duke of York's production

made for the first time this week, A.

tenths of the stuff that is written

varied characterization it IS strong
without exaggerating and its action
moves coherently to logical, though
conventional, conclusion.
Mr. Walling did very well with
the part created bv Mr. Mobiles, that
of an eccentric Irish lawyer thrown
upon his own resources, consisting
solely of mother wit guided by
warn-hearted impulse. The dialect
was nicely voiced and the acting was
never overdone, although the tempta-
tions to indulge In ultra-exuberance
were many Miss Kelton. as an

contributed to the general success.

/" HE municipality of Vera Cruz
/ has been perfecting extensive
plans with view of improving
the present municipal building,
constructing a new county Jail and
erecting a modern market structure
The present intention is to con-
struct these new buildings OF cement,
large quantities of which will also
enter into the reconstruction of the
municipal building To meet the cost
the city government is arranging for
loan with the Banco Central Mexi-
cano. The bonds are to be fioated at
S5H, bearing interest at 5 per cent
annually. The total issue will amount
to SI,7544oo Mexican.
The Governor of the State has
been authorized by the Legislature
to issue bonds for loan to be raised
for the purpose of meeting the costs
of the projected sanitary work and
new water supply at the port of Mex
leo (Coatzacoalcos) The Federal
Government is expected to set aside
per cent of the sum of the import
duties collected at this port to cover
this outlay, and also to pay the in
terest on this loan, not to exceed )
per cent annually for the term of
twenty-five years. At the expiration
of this term the State will redeem
these bonds in full with interest.
The exports of seed rice to the
United States from the port of Vera
Cruz seems to have taken on greater
proportions, as the exports for the
March quarter reached the sum OF

@ ESPITE the fact that Love
and Law" was constructed by
IL Milton Mobiles with especial
view to affording opportunity
for display of his own best acting
qualities it admirably served as a
medium of bringing effective results
from every member of the Central
Theater stock company last evening
Mr.. Noble evidently remembered
what few latter-day stars seem to
consider-that more than one char
acter is required to make a drama,
and that the better the satellites are
provided for the more the drama as
a whole> is strengthened and the
brighter the chief luminary really
shines So even when the leading
man was not in ocular evidence last
night the interest of the audience was
sustained.
Love and Law was first produced
on any stage at the Baldwin Theater
in this city about a score of years
ago, and after making what the press
agents term AN instantaneous hit, :"
it ran through several highly success
full seasons on the road and finally
was consigned to the stockholders.
To sit through it now and compare
its structural methods with those that
are modern is to appreciate just how
much the dramatist's license has been
narrowed during the last two decades.
For Love and Law" fairly bristles
with explanatory "asidesv and solil-
oquies and bits of business" that
once were regarded as indispensable
and now would kill any play at first
reading. But with all its old-fash-
ioned defects it is a rattling good
play-much better, indeed, than nine
