to marry her faithful admiler, 1t would
undoubtedly have made q big difference
in the receipts at the Aldwych thea

So we'll does a dranlatist like Pinero
understand this attitude OF the British
public that few years ago he dellb-
erately changed the ending Of THE
Prohigata' in order that the public
should have what 1t wanted. In the
decentralization of Kipling's The Light
that Failed" the playwright RESPONSE
BILE for it gave the great B. r. happy
ending which is not to be found in the
authors novel.
Although the season has but just
opened in London, it has already been
marked by the triumph of one Ameri-
can actor. Richard Golden has made a
distinct hit in the play called The Old
Firm" but because of change of
lessees in the Queens theater In which
1t has been running. the play will have
to be Withdrawn almost Immediately to
make way for the production of THE
Belle of Brittany" q new musical COM
cdy. An effort is being made to trans
fer Golden and the play to the Royalty
to continue its undoubtedly popular
run. Golden, I understand. Is so
pleased with his English reception that
he has refused a recent offer from the
United States and has ordered his
house there to be sold with the inten-
ton of more or less permanently re-
siding In England.
