In this stern world that is a crowded
stage.
Blithe hummer of brief role and
weary heart.
May fate, that playwright grim,

William Gillette and his company re-
turned from Europe on Dec. IA and the
announcement has been made that
after his tour i'm "Clarfce" Mr.. Gillette
will become a stock star at a New York
theatre and play out of the city only
few weeks in the season. Mr.. Gillette
Will select and stage the plays to be
produced.
George c. Tyler, managing director
of Iiebler & Co, announces that Elean-
or Robson, on her next tour, viii have
a repertoire Of seven plays-two and
possibly three Of which will be pre-
scented before the end OF the season
In addition to Merely Mary Ann"
which is now being presented at Pow
ers' theatre, Browning's I'm Balcony"
and GOldsmith's 'She Stops to Con-
quer," Miss Robson will be equipped
with a new comedy by Clyde Fitch, en-
titled 1.-The Girl Who Has Everything,

ROStand, a modern English comedy

edy drama by c. NJ. S. Mcclellan, au-
thor Of Leah KleSchna." The an
nouncement contains Mr.. Tyler's prom
Use that never again will Miss Robson
be presented for an entire season In
only one play, no matter how success
full. Although these plans for Miss
RObsOn's future were completed sew
eraI weeks ago, a pretty sentiment
caused them to be kept secret until
her twenty-ffth birthday.
Writing of the trials and tribulations
of American singers who go to Europe
to gain recognition. Mildred Aldrich in
the Theatre Magazine says:
To most singers who have sought
recognition abroad there is but one
drawback to the European career. 1t
is not love of home that lures them
back to the United States-it is money.
IT looks fine to put de POpera" or 'de
FOpera COmique" on ones visiting
card as Is the habit in Europe, but
there is another side to IL. Many a
debutante has sung at the Opera Co.
mique for nothing, some have paid, and
some have had the ma gnif1cent GALAXY
of 200 francs a month Gust shy of S40).
One of the most prominent debutantes
for her debut, and one OF those who
was there two years as a regular MEM
Der of the troupe earned 5000 francs a
year ($25 a week., and she was con-
sidered favored. Cities like Bordeaux
often get debutantes at 800 francs $500
a month, ard in theatres of that sort
singers provide their own costumes. So
it is small wonder that, having got
ones education, one wants to earn
money in the United States. The great
wonder is that everyone wants a place
in America in the front rank, at very
many dollars a minute, and, lacking
that would rather stay in Europe on
nothing There is, OF course. an eX-
PLANTATION for this. Once bitten by the
pesky micrObe Of continental life-weT
the disease is incurable. There may
come a Nemesis. Many a foreigner
has eyes turned TO America and is
learning English, TO sing in English
opera. Only one thing viii save the
situation for the Americans-the Eu-
ropeans have not the voices in the rank
and file.
Clyde Fitch, author of Miss Elliott's
new play, is said to be one of the most
persistent and patient of authors at re-
hearsal, and the Importance he gives to
the details of life and the theatre re-
doubles the necessary expense of en-
ergy. Managers, however. are not al
ways ready to give him full swing in
staging a play, and their reluctance
may be understood in view of the ex-
pense it involved. Three thousand dol
lars was spent on MAI or Andre" be-
fore the FIRST night merely in rehears-
