Margaret Ellington a ended her
season in "Kindling," and will devote
the next few weeks to rest and study.
She and Edward ]. Bowes. her hus-
bal nd manager. n still planning to
take the play to London for a season
in that city. When in this city, Mr..
Bowes said Miss Illington's remarka-
BILE o u during h summer was so
encouraging that they felt justified IL
attempting q London performance fol
the play. Preparations have already
been commenced. and. according to
the latest announcement. the play will
be presented at one of the theaters
in that city during August. 1913.
Miss Ellington will resume her tour
on November I at Washington. D. G..
She hopes to 90 to New York in time
for the opening of the Ellington thea

Like begets like. tits said. In no
place Is this truer than in theatrical
circles. When walker Whiteside pro-
duced 1.-THE Typhoon" in Chicago and
later in New York last season. it was
Peril would be the subject of more
than one play.
Now comes a one-act play called
The Yellow Peril" It Is by Albert
Cowles. but the author is said to have
made his opening scene identical with
that of The Typhoon. Mr.. Cowles
shows great promise. the Fight Night
has used several weak expedients in
developing his story.
PLAYS with japanese characters
and dealing with the relations of
Japan and the United States are all
right, but the author should never
make his scene identical with other
plays he has witnessed. He should
in no way can be connected with those
that have gone before.
The Model" has finally been with.
drawn from the New York boards. 1t
had the shortest run Of any of
August Thomas plays in recent years.
After the unfavorable reception it re-
nothing but remove it. He Is now
trying to make up his mind as to
whether 1t is worth while to try a
road tour.
According to reports emanating
from Chicago. THE New Sin." B. Mac
Donald Hastings unique play, Is every
thing that glowing. %adjectives can con-
vey. The critics are all Of accord
in pronouncing it one Of the best pro-
auctions seen in that city for many
moons. and 1t has received the sane
ton of the drama league.
Critics and the drama league be-
lieve. however. that the fourth act of
the play Is unnecessary and inartis>
tic" But this will not make Mr..
Hastings change the play. He made
such a success with 1t in London-the
fourth act not excepted-that he will
not think seriously of altering it fol.
Chicago th~eatregoers.
THE New Sin" does not contain a
woman character in it, and its dia.
logue is said to be OF the Oscar Wilde
variety. This ssures US that the word
woman" Is mo- overlooked during the
four acts OF the play. We have Meth.
er seen nor read 1t. but 1t Is our guess
that woman" plays an important part
in the unfolding of the story. despite
that fact that a representative Of the
sex is not present In flesh and blood.
Winthrop Ames' Little Theatre will
begin its second season some time in

guerite Clark, Doris Keane. aGil Kane.
Isabelle Lee and Katherine Emmett.
