particularly when the players were
actresses. However, his production or

himself to the task.

Made Play Writing Pay

NEW YORK. Sept 4.-Clyde Fitch,
easily the most prolific of younger
American dramatists, was born at Ell
mira, y. Y. in 1865 of English ances-
tors. who settled in Connecticut early
in the seventeenth century and left
descendants who have been prominent
IN the religious and political life Of
the country ever since.
Early in life he began TO write for
the ma gszines and publishers. In
1883 came his first novel, The Wave
OF Life followed by Some Core
spondence and Six Conversations and
The Smart Set"
Nothing from his pen found any
prominence on the boards until the
production of Beau Brummelr in
1890, by the late Richard Mansfield.
The play jumped into instant popular
fly and won with the years a classic
place in the American repertoire.
Thereafter plays came two. and
sometimes three. TO the year with un-
tagging regularity. Among the best
known OF them are Nathan Hale
The Cowboy and the Lady" ''Barba ra
Frietchie.' 'Sspho" (from the F'rench),
The Climbers" The Girl and the
Judge" The Last of the Dandies. :.

clyde Fitch made writing pay. His
income from his dramas has been esti-
mated AT all the way from $4,000 to
$3.50. 600 q year. And for all his rapid
production he was the most careful
worker.
Fitch was a great believer in the
American drama. There is great
neld in America for plays dealing with
the history of the country" he once
said. such plays in England are made
social documents. There is no reason
why we should not have them"

HIS PLAYS EXERTED
A GENTLE, REFINING
INFLUENCE ON STAGE
By WALTER ANTHONY

Just what place future writers, on
the intimate subject of the American
drama, will give to William Clyde
Fitch can not now. OF course, be fore
cast. That he has given to the litera-
ture OF the stage permanent works of
value may be reasonably doubted That
he has added much to contemporary
drsmaturgy is certain He was facile,
dextrous in his workmanship, a keen
observer and a graceful writer One
looks in vain for force and bigness in
his output, but one does not fail to
find in everything he wrote a certain
subtle grace and refinement of ex-
preston, as well as an almost clair
voysnt apprehension of the effects of
theatric business.
Fitch was happiest when character
izing women, whose moods and fan
tastes and chatter he placed upon the
stage with rare sympathy and intimate
truth. He was less happy in the Gre
alton OF masculine roles. One of his
last works, Girls" was an exemplifi-
