Special Correspondence.
ONDON, Aug. 2I.--GranTlle
Barker. the young actor-manager
to whom George Bernard Shaw
largely owes his vogue in Lon
don. and who may be snapped up
for America next season, has taught
other London managers various things
in the past two years. one of his
innovations was the presentation of
certain new plays at matlnees only
and his policy. which Barker means
to continue when he takes over the
Savoy Theater next month, appears
likely to be initiated rather widely.
Already 1t has been adopted at the
Garlick by Arthur Bourchier, and
Ohio Stuart has Just announced that
several of the new pieces which he
holds for the Court, the playhouse
which became famous under Gram
vile Barker's management. and which
the latter has just quilted, will be
given at afternoon performances only.
Cyril Maude also followed Barker's
lead, last season, by giving Vachell's
