guide goes on record as follows: While the
past two seasons are hard to excel SO far
as financial results are concerned this sea-
son will far surpass anything heretofore
both as regards artistic and financial re-
suits" In reaching these conclusions the
theatrical guide is influenced by the general
prosperity of the country. and especially
by the voluntary increase of compensation
to the employees in New England mills
Much the same comforting view is taken
by other publications more restricted in
their scope These, however, display a
tendency to limit the promised prosperity
to the productions to which they are espe-
cially interested. 1t Is the usual fanfare
and flourish before the show begins Not
only the press agent is busy with the work
OF publicity. but authors are once more out
in frank and friendly interviews, telling ex-
actly how plays are written. Managers are
confiding with child-like frankness the ines
Unable secret Of how stars are manufac-
tured. Strange 1t is that all this annual
advice produces 50 little competition The
same authors continue to write plays and
the same managers to develop stars to fit
them.

WHY MRS. wIGGS'' WAS SELECTED.
Mrs! Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" has
been selected by the active supporters of
the actors fund for the vehicle of an all
star benefit to be given in New York at the
Broadway Theater this winter. This play
was chosen after long elaboration on the
ground that its twenty-six sharply differen-
tiated characters, without an actual star
role among them, would give a greater num-
Der of clever actors and actresses adequate
parts than any other current production.
Another reason that led to it's selection was
the fact that the characters of the play
have been made familiar to the reading mil
lions of the nation both by the two books
Mrs. Wigs and Lovey Mary. and their
dramatization. The all-star cast has been
announced as follows by Stage Manager
Oscar Eagle: Mrs. Wigs. Madge Carr

purser would not accept either Neither of
my friends had any cash with him. We
were plainly regarded as crooks and were
kept under watch all the way over. Before
we reached port the steamship officials sent
a wireless to Scotland yard, and when we
berthed, six Scotland yard men swarmed
over the ships side and seized us.
Persuasion and promises had no effect
on the Obdurate purser He would not al

it was with difficulty that I persuaded him
to allow me to go to the Savage Club, where
live, to procure funds When got there

them to come to me at the club.

were a doleful pair. They had not received
the extra 10 pounds and had to walk all the
way through London's streets to find me-
We drove back to the steamship and got
that 10 pounds from the purser without loss
