age is not tempered by the knowledge

to Craven as Gilley
AMERICAN PLAY A WINNIE

London, March I'm the general de-
moralization Of the winter dramatic
season. which winds up with most COM
panies playing to almost empty houses,
Allan Aynesworth, who has been the
most successful of the actor-manaS rs
during the last season. seems to adN e.
struck another winner in Bought and
Paid For" Praise for the play is uni
versal and, as was the case in New
York. the big hit was made by Frank
Craven as James Gilley. His success
is so great. indeed. that the serious side
of the play is almost submerged in the
actors humor. All critics join in pre-
dieting that Mr. Craven il destined 10
become a household word in England.
and that ne Will enjoy months Of cor
tinuous popularity in his present part.
Try-outs are now almost nightly &C.
currences. Theatrical managers are
looking for big year this year, despite
the prevailing pessimism over the IN
ternational situation. They are expect
ing a great rush of visitors from Amer
lea. and they are convinced that wh IN
the sun begins 10 shine again a few
weeks hence people on this side Of the
ocean also will begin TO realize that il
is not worth while always to scan the
future through smoked glasses.
At the end Of April there will be at
least twenty new plays on the London
stage, and four new actOr-managers
will be climbing the ladder TO glory.
There will thus be at least a wide
choice of new things for visitors TO
London and it is possible that there
will he one or two good ones among
the lot In fact. there are half dozen
productions already hopeful in appear
