 When James w. Fitzpatrick. of Wa terbury. was playing vaudeville en- agreements in Minnesota two years ago, he started to write a short story. Between shows he worked on the manuscript which. when finished. ran about 10000 words Under the title of '.The Hospital Ticket, :, he ofrered it to several magazine publishers. but it was rejected because of it's length! MT Fitzpatrick wouldn't spoil the story by cutting it down, and he held it for year.
 Last summer, at the suggestion of 8 Waterbury friend, he sent it to Co.'s Hers Weekly, then conducting a prize story contest. As soon as he sent 1t, he forgot about it. A few months lat CT he received notice from the Judges, committee consisting of Col Roose- welt Miss Ida M TarbelI and Mark van-that '"Fhe Hospital Ticket had been awarded second prize of $500. The story was published in Col Hers two weeks ago.
 Mir Fitzpatrick now has plenty of | offers for his literary efforts and, be- tween shows, is working on another short story manuscript. At Polls tlle- atre today-where MT. Fitzpatrick and Lewis Madden, also of Waterbury, are appearing in their dramatic sketch .qThe Turn of the Fade,'-Ar. Fitz- patrick said he expected to complete his newest work as he did the prize story, by working late at nights, or the trains and between shows. MT. Fitzpatrick was formerly 2 l ewspaperman of Waterbury and lat CT managed the Jacques theatre where his partner, MT. Madden, was ] a piano player. Blight years ago, they formed a, vaudeville. partnership tha1 l has been very successful, playing 1 sketches written and produced by MT l Fitzpatrick.
