tons on the Baltic. His arrival at
the Charles Frohman offices gave
great relief.
No such international complications
attended Mr. Frohman's corraling of
Miss Blanche Bates for his pet subject,
but the difficulties appeared at first
just as numerous. 1t had been Mr..
Frohmans intention to present Miss
Bates this season in a new play by
Eleanor Gates, who wrote The Poor
Little Rich Girl" and so enthusiastic
had Miss Bates become over the play
as outlined by Miss Gates, that it took
some courage on the part of Mr. F'roh-
man to intimate to her that he wished
to postpone the project of the Gates
play until after the run of "Diplom-
acy." Mr.. F'rohman's persuasion and
Miss Bates appreciation of the oppor
tunities offered her in the role of the
Countess Zicixa won the day, and, with
another big sigh of relief, Mr.. F'rohman
realized that finally he had gathered

HARD TO GET STARS

Charles Fronman. who lost his life
on the Lusitania, was a man not easily
discouraged, as was shown when his
strength OF Will was put to the test
several months ago, while the manager
was arranging for his revival of Vic
tirien Sardou's Diplomacy" Mr. Froh-
man had MANNED for a big caliber cast
William Gillette to appear as Henry
Reauolero Blanche Bates. in the role
of the Countess Zicka, and Marie Doro
to Portray Dora.
The task of securing Miss Doro was
the first accomplishment. She was then
appearing in London under Mr.. Froh-
mans mana cement in the same role,
and had met with such favor, it is
said that she enjoyed the second long
est run of any revival to be made last
season in the British metropolis
crowning her triumph by giving
command performance before the
king and queen. at Windsor. Mr.. F'roh-
man arranged that Miss Doro should
have a few weeks respite between the
closing of her London engagement in
Diplomacy and the beginning of her
American engagement.
But the manager reckoned without
the kaiser for, a few days before Miss
Doro had arranged for her sailing, war
was declared. The actress, in post
haste and suffering many discomforts,
finally was able to reach New York,
only to learn that she would have some
weeks to herself here, for no one knew
where William Gillette was.
Here Mr. Frohman encountered his
most serious difficulty. For weeks no
word was received from Mr.. Gillette,
the last trace of him having been

Unable to get word to New York, it
appears that the actor finally went to
London. There, while waiting for a
steamer. he moved from the Savoy no.
tel to the Palais Royal a family hotel
in Kensinston. Returning to his APP
artments one day, he discovered his
private papers scattered about the
room and under the inspection of two
strangers. on Mr.. Gillette's appear
ance, one turned from his labor and
said:
you live here?"
Yes" replied Mr.. Gillette.
Are these your private papers,"
Yes, replied Mr.. Gillette.
I'VE find among them a complete set
of plans Of the British Embassy in
Paris. Would you mind telling me
what you intend to do with these
plans?"
Nothing Immediately"
''Then come with us to Scotland

"Just a moment" said Mr.. Gillette,

It's this way said the actor. Il am

bassy in Paris. In order to get the
scenic setting absolutely right on the

The detectives, however. decided not
to take chances. One of them re-
manned on guard, while the other
called on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who
vouched for Mr.. Gillette. Incidentally
Sir Arthur had his joke.
