YOUNG DRAMATISTS CHANCE.
Actors Society Committee Invites
Plays by Unknown Authors.

Plays by Unknown Authors.
The Actors Society of America over a
year ago established a committee of we'll
known actors and playwrights 70 read
manuscripts of plays TO be submitted by
authors who have no means Of presenting
their plays TO managers who might be in
terested in them.
The scheme grew out Of an idea pre-
scented by Mr.. Augustus Thomas, who
gave an address to the members Of the
Actors Society January 10 1909.
This committee (Which includes Fanny
Cannon. Mrs. Felix Morris, Thomas Wise,
Mary Shaw, Harold Woolf, E ". Mo-ri-
son, George Henry Trader. Edith Ellis
and George Arliss) invites authors all
over the country to submit manuscripts
of plays. and they are assured that their
plays will be given a most careful and
considerate reading by at least five of
the committee.
The Actors Society OF America is IN
New York City, n. Y. and is an organl-
cation composed entirely of actors. and
this movement of selecting good plays
is one Of many toward securing the best
conditions possible for them
The play readers committee has been
very successful in their work, having
considered over 300 manuscripts, among
which there have been several from I'M
known authors which have proved good,
and arrangements have been made or
are pending for their production.
