BY FRANKLIN FILES.

New York. Sept. 24-tSpecial)- Jfr"e 1T four nv Dlf vs If the week were taken from between pook-covers. Also, they were literature-a fact which does not necessarily follow.
 For a good many years Margaret Deland had been writing fiction highly prized by the few when snc employed the sane fine enalyticaL flluminative art in "The Awakening of Helena P'oh.e." and suddenly saw her pubic multiply by thousands. Margaret An glin thought she discerned good drama in the novel and bought an op- ton on the stage rights. 1t is not gem orally known. but she held that option as far back as when she produced Ihe Great Divide" That play was not fa- tvorably received on it's trial tour. and the night before its New York product ion Miss Anglin, to be prepared Tor a failure, definitely closed negotiations for the Deland novel. She had 1t dram atized, tried 1t In one or two cities, and then sailed for tour of Australia.
 To quite appreciate the significance of Margaret Anglins re-entry into New York it is necessary to glance over the three years of her absence. She went away a popular and successful act ress; she returned to face that most trying of tributes-the taclt acceptance of her as ranking among the greatest actresses of the period. She came back free from managerial restraint, but also from all guidance and aid:-ta- king upon herself the financial and ar tistic burden of big production. Fur thermore, she returned in the glow or foreign acclaim, won by no easy means but in the most exating roles or clas- sic drama. And she achieved trl- umph--a greater triumph than was hers on the memorable first night or s.Mrs. Danes Defense" because then she had the benefit of taking her audi ence by surprise while now she faceo ar assemblage expecting so much that fulflment seemed well nigh im- possible.
 Charlotte Thompson made the dram atlzation of Helena Richie" but II seems likely Miss Anglin largely guid- ed the work-as Olga Nethersole did In the play for her from ''Sapho" ana Mrs. Fiske in Becky Sharpe" In any case, it Is a far better play than usual lv results from novel. and that be- cause of wise selection. The dramat- ist has left out entirely some points in Mrs. Deland's several hundred pages and notably in the case of Benjamin wright, has whittled down some char acters to meresy bits. The play con- cerns itself directly and simply with the story of Helena Richie and Lloyd Pryor, and of little David. In the arst act we see Mrs. Richie's secluded fife in Old Chester; her relation to the man who pretends to be her brother,
