QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER.
Most Successful Book Play Net Pro-
dueed at the Grand Opera House
Next Saturday.

There was much discussion in re-
gard to tiramatizEng Quincy Adams
SAWYER between the publishers and
both those who did lind those who did
not do the decentralization. A theatri-
cal manager WAC tried to secure tne
dramatic rights, and might have had
them If he had not insisted on having
the dFama4zation made his way,
naintained that to make a strong play
from the book ne would introduce an
entirely new and strong melodramatfe
plot which was not in the novel. He
wanted to nave some lost wills, farm
mortgages, city Williams and wronged
girls. like all the other rural plays.
The publfshers2 however, maintained
that there would be great advantage
in having dramatization taht follow
ed the book closely-it would be some
thing new in more ways than one.
! The results since the play has been
before the public, the last six months
or rather seasons, nave proved the
wisdom of their holding to their
views. The business has been phe-
nomenal throughout the whole coun'
try. and one hears great deal OF IN
terest manifested In the approaching
matinee and night engagements satur-
day.
The play mas been we'll described by
one reviewer who said: Sweet as the
corn which Is husked SO realistically
and pure as New England 'adr itself Is
the story of Quincy Adams Sawyer
The adapter has strung together cpl
sodIes which are replete with distinct
and familiar characters, just the kind
one expects to find at Mason's corner
country town in Massachusetts
where the scenes are laid VITA nat
ural and appropriate stage environ
ments. Every setting is am artistic
success. The play is a happy blend
ing of country hurnor and pathos IN
which the simple, pure charm OF the
book is preserved"
No play is said to have ever had
such a flattering first night reception
as that accorded Quincy Adams Saw
lyer," the latest of pastoral dramas,
when 1t started its. New York run at
tie Academy of Music. The curtain
had to be raised for the 18th time on
the third act to respond to the enthu-
slastic encores. The play Is Clean
wholesome ami amusing. and was de-
citled by the New York public as the
best New England play ever presented
In this home OF, rural productions. 1t
has the sweetest love story ever told,
It's comedy Is genuine. and the scenes
in the little village Of Mason's Corner
are true to life.

1.-THE Blue Mouse

Clyde Fitch the playwright. has turned
naturalist. Last summer while in Ger
many he captured a mischievous but
somewhat soiled' mouse. The habits OF
this strange yet amusing rodent were
none too good. But once landed in New
York Mr.. Fitch scrubbed the tiny beast,
when. Behold. he shone a delicate blue.
With the playwright as preceptor the
rodents habits also changed, and now.
as the American Blue Mouse" the
Messrs- Shubert are exhibiting him az the
Lyric Theater in New York as the purest
example of an A No. 19OS-O9-1O sensa-
ton.
Being playwright. Clyde. Fitch natu-
rally made an actor or rather actress out
of the mouse, and he has named his lat
est play THE Blue Mouse. which of
course. is farce. as it could be not hing
but d joke to turn an animal into a play.
1t is this Blue Mouse harmless but ex-
cruc atingly funny, that comes to the
Belasco Theater next week. when that
dainty little actress. Elsa Ryan. will be
seen as the same Blue Mouse" for one
must have already guessed that rodent
cant act. At matter of fact there are
no mice-not even mouse-in the COM
pdny.
