Album, the only magazine of it's pre-
else sort in the world is one of the
most entertaining of the current
monthlies. Devoted as it is to those
phases of the American stage which
are most interesting to playgoers the
country over, it fills a niche i'm the
gallery of publications that had been
vacant until its establishment. The cur
rent number contains numerous excel
lent short stories of the stage, and
wealth of other articles, all of which
are interesting and many of which
possess a value that makes a preser-
walton of the number advisable. The
chief literary feature is a complete
novelization of Blanche Bates splendid
play, THE Fighting Hope" Among
the famous actors who contribute to
the number are. Mdude Adams, Mar
garet Anglin, Alice Lloyd, Henry
Miller George ArIiss. Robert ManteI,
