To Revive "Sealed Orders''


 Hale Hamilton, who is now with you in the United States looking for a suit able play with which to tempt fortune again in this country will regret to hear that Sealed Orders" the Drury Lane nelodrama, in which he played last year. is about to be revived without him. Both Hamilton and his pretty wife, Myrtle Tannehill, were extremely popular in the play and Arthur Collins. of the Lane" regrets that they are not in this country to take up their parts again.
 Sealed Orders" is really one of the best of the many melodramas produced at Drury Lane. It takes rank with that exciting production, "The Ruby" in which Ada Rehan scored so heavily in the United States and which, of course was originally a Drury Lane thriller It is doubtful, however, if Sealed Orders' will ever make the money for all con- ccrned that "The Whip" has and is Besides the huge success of the latter at Drury Lane. it did enormous business, of course. in New York and has earned sev- eral fortunes in the English provinces and in the colonies
 Meanwhile Raleigh and Henly Hamil- ton. the joint authors of all these sue ccsses, and who, by the way, must have de more money between them than any ether playwrgths in the business. are trying to protect some of their rights from the increasingly active cinema peo- rle. It appears that film has been placed on the market with the title, 'Sealed Orders" Although the film story does not resemble in any detail the Drury Lane production. Raleigh and his partner claim that the title became their property and that the cinema producers are trading on the undoubted popularity and fame of their play. Unfortunately for all concerned, this Is not a good test case because the issue is confused by the circumstance that Sealed Orders' is a term in general use by everybody and is in no sense an invention or even a unique application by the paywrights.

Different Revue at Palace

Alfred Butt of the Palace is preparing what he hopes will be a totally differ ent'' music hall revue. He has engaged Flers, French author of Parisian re- vues of reputation, and Arthur Wimperis, by far the most popular of present day English writers of books for musical comedies. and together they are trying to turn out a production which will con- toin nothing stolen from other sources. To understand just what this means you must know that up to date there hasn't been an entirely original revue in Lon don, all of them depending in varying measure upon what the authors could adapt or steal from America, France, or even Germany and Austria. Thus the most successful globe trotters have be- come the most successful writers of re- yries.
 Butt says he Is tired of all that and he says 1t so emphatically that he com- pels belief.
 And what" asked an interviewer, Ifs to be the name of the new show?'
 'The Passing Show" replied Butt.
 Exit originality. Butt discovered if mere than year ago when on a visit to New York!
