4 dramatization Of The House OF
Bondage" the novel founded on the white
slave situation, is announced to be given
at the Cecil Spooner Theatre, New York.
tomorrow Reginald Wright Kaufman,
author of the book has voiced strong
objections to the production, because, he
declares. the dramatization is not wholly
authorized. The book is undeniably one
OF the frankest representations OF its SUD-
jcct. and the play is said to have eXag-
gerated matters. The version Charles r.
Blaney is using is by Joseph Byron Tot

and formerly leading man AT the stock
