1t is but natural that any book
which has achieved such widespread
reputation and one that has been drs-
cussed from every vantage should be
selected as vehicle for stage presen-
tation Therefore, 1t is not at all sur
prising that the leading managers
have We'd with one another In their
eagerness to secure the dramatic
rights to Robert W. Chambers The
Common Law novel which In all
probabilities created the most pro

In the rivalry for possession of this
special prize Manager A. Fl. Woods
was the most successful and to him
the author accorded every privilege
with the sole understanding that the
dramatization should not allow tbs
authors intentions to suffer as IN
many cases. That Manager Woods
has faithfully carEed out his par, 0,
the contract was fully attested in the
production made last season which
not only delighted Mr. Chambers out
made an extraordinarily strong appea,

Nothing more than the usual festivi-

The celebration was originally re-

It Is also the Official opening OF the

Halloween can be traced back to
pagan times. Though now known as
a festival to only Christian races it's
origin antedates Christianity. The
two chief characteristics Of the an
cient Halloween, or All Hallows Eve,
were the lighting Of bonfires and the
belief that in the year this Is the one
night during which ghosts and witches
are most likely to wander abroad.
In later years the Druids held their
great autumn festival and lighted
