getting a manager to place 1t on the

a dinner of the American Dramatists'
club, he was asked when the produc-

The curse Of the man who will not
work has always been with us. In
Henry Wits reign he was not allowed
to beg the bread that belonged to hon
ester folk, for a statute was made by
which the old and impotent we're
granted licenses to beg, and anyone
found begging without one was sound
" logged and lent home to his own
parish. In THE way as many as hun
dred in one day, in Elizabeth's time,
were sent "back to the land"
The begging license seems to work
well enough abroad, where the row Of
authorized beggars is q familiar sight
outside every church, and where the
halt and manned are seldom seen any
where else. The rise Of the vagrant
in this country no doubt took place
after the destruction of the monaster-
les, and before any other reliefgiving
body took their place. Yet, after the
queens magnificent gift we can still
say with the monk of medieval times.
