II was three days later that Fitch timidly
presented himself at Frohman's office. lie

Did you, carry out my instructions7' he
asked the boy.
Yes, sir" replied the latter.
DID Mr.. Frohman read the play?'
don't NOW replied the boy, but he
said he wanted TO see you"
Fitch hung around until Frohman ar
rived. When ushered across the threshold
OF the private office he began as follows:
Il know you're a busy man, Mr.. Froh-
man, but I wish you'd read that play OF
mine. II you haven't the time, won't you
have your play reader look Il over?"
Il have read it," replied Frohman.
"W-w-weil, wh-h-hat's become OF it?'
stammered Fitch.
It's in rehearsal" said Frohman. i've
been waiting to see you to make the neoes-
sary contract"

Henry Miller. Viola Allen. w. H. Thomp-

way, subsequently became stars.

shin, and only a trick born Of desperation
ever gained him an audience with Charles
Frohman.
While Fitch after the production Of
Beau Brummel' was fairly successful. he
had not been able to place a manuscript
with Frohman. In fact, try rs he would,
he never could gain Frohman's ear. Plays
from his pen had been produced at the
Boston Museum. but Fitch was not salts
fled.
One day he brlbed Trohman's office boy
to lay a manuscript on his employers
desk. II bore on its pale blue cover only
the title and by Clyde Fitch" There was
no address and no other mark OF identifi-
cation.
II happened that a blizzard struck town
on the day Frohman discovered the type
written manuscript, and he decided TO
leave his office early. He took the play
with him for lack of more promising liter
ature. II happened also that the current
play at the Empire t~heater-then the home
Of the most celebrated stock company In
America-was a failure.
Frohman read the Fitch manuscript, and
before nightfall had issued an order to call
a rehearsal Of his stock company the fol-
lowing morning. Overnight he arranged
to have the parts Of the new piece type

series for these premiere nights is being
arranged, and those so desiring may now
subscribe. The theatcr box office will

ances will be sold. The sale of seats for
the former has already been most crafty

The seat prices for the dramatic perform
ances are the same as those at any high
class Broadway theater, from 30 cents to
w. and those for opera performances, the
same as at the opera houses, from SIS

repeatedly stated, the statutes Of the thea

ployed. Furthermore, the dramas, so far
as the mounting is concerned, will be
somewhat different from the ordinary
Shakespearian setting. That the scenic In
vestiture has been designed by Jules Guerin,
the noted artist, and the costumes by Mr..
Bell, guarantees a production artistic and
historically accurate. The drama, as is
well known, Is one Of Shakespeare's great
est, but the work has seldom been per
formed owing to the immense strength Of
the company required to enact IL Mr..
Sothern will interpret the part OF Antony
and Miss Marlowe that Of Cleopatra. 9th
ers to enact important roles are Messrs.
Bruning, Arson, Gottschalk. Blackstone,
Stanford, Wendell. Balsar, johnson, North,
Melick and Cordoba, and Mines. Forbes
Robertson, Busley and Bateman-Hunter.
Mr.. Edward Knobloch's The Cottage

season, Will, according to the present plan.
be produced four days later, on Thursday
night, November II. This is a fantastic
comedy of rather delicate texture, and is
based on a story by the author Of ELISA
beth and Her German Garden" The pre-
sentation will serve to introduce several
members Of the company who did not APP
pear in Antony and Cleopatra" They are
Miss Wyndham, Mr.. Cartwright, Miss
Coghlan. Mrs. Sol smith and Miss Sit
greaves. Others in the cast will be Messrs.
Balsar, Gottschalk, Stanford, johnson and
North.
THE Niger" one Of the next dramas
due for production, is distinctly American
in theme. Mr.. Edward Sheldon, its au-
thor, is the writer Of Salvation Nell" in
which Mrs. Fiske won success. He has
laid his scenes in an undetermined part OF
the south OF today and dealt with a novel
and unusual side of the negro question.
The drama is OF the strong, emotional
type and is regarded as possessing ex-
ceptional literary and acting merit. The
cast will include Messrs. Sothern, Cart
wright, Johnson, Osbourne and Melick, and
Mines. Marlowe, Sitgreaves and Sol Smith.
Strife" another of the new plays, will
afford Mr.. Calvert his first opportunity
to appear here as an actor. Strife" was
the most noteworthy drama of London's
last season, and added materially to the
prestige of Mr.. John Galsworthy, its au-
thor, whose recent efforts have met with
marked success in England. The story
deals in new fashion with the perpetual
struggle between capital and labor and
carries with 1t q striking lesson. The cast
VIII include besides Mr.. Calvert, Messrs.
Cartwright, Arson, Gottschalk, Stanford,
Johnson, McVay, Balsar and Wendell, and
Mines. Sol Smith, Lawton, Forbes-Robert-
son and Sitgreaves.

The only ripple on the surface during
the week was the story put out by John
w Consadine Of Seattle that the firm Of
Sullivan & Consadine would have its own
theater here inside Of a year and a half.
As this firm has Just sold a theater here,
and as Tim sullivan, the other end OF the
firm, who halls from the Bowery, ex-
pressed surprise last spring that he ac-
tually owned a piece Of property in Omaha
and demanded that his Eagle friends show
him, Mr.. Consadine's statement sounds
very much like a jolly. II would be real
nice II the firm were to build one more
theater here. So would Il be nice IL tho
Morris people would make good on their

ing. He drives his business opponents into
bankruptcy without conjunction and news
Of their financial distresses are to him like
siren songs. Into the story Of the play
comes VIII Canton, son OF the old man
fresh from college and filled with ideals
He wants the business reconstructed aIone
new lines. Thereupon comes the newt
able clash between the father and the son,
ana the son is thrown neck and crop" as
John Canton puts il, out Of the firm. A
love affair involving this young man and
Miss May Heating, whose father has been
driven TO suicide by the oppression of John
Canton, forms the major theme of the
story. The young mans affection for this
young woman has much to do with the
rupture between father and son, and in an
attempt to reinstate her lover In John Gan
tons favor, the young woman boards the
old man In his den at the Union Stock
Yards and attempts, in a spirited inter
view, to impress upon him his unfatherIy
course. During this interview Miss Heating
learns from the lips OF John Canton that
II was he who sent her father to his death.
AS the play moves along, John Canton is
oeset by a disease which manifests alarm
ing symptoms. A consultation of doctors
NN~A" ~ preparation Abl All operation.
Preliminary to this the old man, facing
death as he believes, calls his son to him
and effects a reconciliation. Miss Heating
Is likewise brought to the bedchamber OF
the great ~financier, and his consent to the
marriage is given. The last scene shows
the rugged old man scorning assistance as
ne totters from the room TO an ante
chamber where the surgeons await him.
The audience is left in doubt as to the re-
suit of John Ganton's operation, though
many leave the theater with the belief that
he is to survive. The most adequate pro-
'duction has been given this play by the
Messrs, Shubert. The company surrounding
Mr.. Fawcett includes the names Of many
well known Broadway players. There will
be a matinee Wednesday.

days at the Burwood theater, The Blue

clyde Fitch. The Blue Mouse" will be
remembered as being presented here late
last season. There is but one change in
the cast ana that is In the role Of The
Blue Mouse" which is now enacted by
Miss Blanche Deyo, said to be one OF the
p%rettiest little women On the stage today.
Miss Deyo, from all reports has scored
most heavily, her dainty personality and
artistic methods in handling the difficult
role Of The Blue Mouse" has won warm
praise wherever she has appeared. There
