TOO MANY COOKS"
BEGINS A WEEK OF
Joy AT SHUBERT'S

''Too Many Cooks" begins its weeks
career at the Shubert tonight. Will
lam A. Brady tells an interesting
story of how he came to accept the
play.
"As has been remarked" says Mr..
Brady, the history of a successful
play is usually quite as interesting as
the play itself.
with this thought in mind,
asked Mr.. Craven TO tell me the story
of Too Many Cooks and discovered II
was one of those lucky accidents in
play writing that are practically plot
less. Mr.. Craven had had the idea for
his little comedy in mind for ten
years. He was always going to write
the story of the house that should
start from its foundation and finish
with its completion, but didn't do 1t.
He did not even try to write 1t until
a year ago, when he was playing
Jimmy Gilley In Bought and Paid
For in Chicago. Then he wrote the
first act in a single night. At 10
O'Clock the next morning he was called
to the long distance phone and told
that he was to pack his things imme-
diately and start for London. Bought
and Paid For was to be produced over
there, and Mr.. Broadhurst was partic-
ularly anxious that Craven should
play his original part. He put the
first act of Too Many Cooks in his
steamer trunk and did not touch il
again until the close of the London
run. Then, one Sunday, when he was
lonesome and cold and homesick, he
got 1t out and started the second act,
which he finished in another day or
two.
ION the steamer that brought him
home i was a fellow passenger, and
during one of our conversations | re-
marked to Mr.. Craven that l wished
l had light comedy.
1--WE got the lightest comedy ever
written he replied. 1 accepted Too

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Masked Ball.

About this time-that is to say,
about the time the Black Hundred
was stretching out its powerful Sc
cret arms toward Norton-there ar
rived in New York city a parsonage.
This parsonage was the Princess
Parlova, a fabulously rich Polish
Russian. She leased a fine house
near Central Park and set about to
conquer social New York. This was
not very difficult, for her title was
perfectly genuine and she moved In
the most exclusive diplomatic cir
cles in Europe, which, as everybody
knows, is the most brilliant in the
world. When the new home was
completely decorated she gave an
elaborate dinner, and that attracted
the newspapers. They began to talk
about her highness, printed portraits
of her, and devoted page OCCASION
ally in the Sunday editions. She be-
came something of a rage. One
morning 1t was announced that the
Princess Parloya. would give
masked ball to formally open her
home to society; and it was this
notice that first brought the Prin-
cess Parlova under Braine's eyes.
He was at the Perigoff apartment at
the time.
