impressing the wholcsomcness and

drama upon the public mind through
his every medium of publicity. with
the result that The Things That
Count did actually become something
of a factor in turning the tide of pub
lie sentiment into cleaner channels in
the matter of things theatrical in the
metropolis. where the play had long
and successful run.
In this connection Mr.. Eyre, the
actor playwright declares that the day
of the salacious or eNcuseless plaA Is
over; that the reaction has come. and
that the demand for romance pure and
simple is to remain with us. an opinion
which has been amply justified by the
cordial reception of his own play
which is builded upon the foundation
of Mr. Eyre's above description.
Few actors become successful play
wriehts a fact which but adds to the
interest of The Things That Count.
for its author was first an actor, haV-
ing appeared in the support of Julia
Nsrlowe. Ben Greet. z. II. Sothern. and
other welI-known stars. and was at
one time a member of the famous
castle Square Stock Company OF Bos-
ton.
When Mr.. grady produced this play
in New York over a year ago the task
confronted him of finding two capable
players for the portrayal of the diff
cult character parts. Nick Long and
his wife Udalene Cotton) were at that
lime headliners at Hammerstein =.
where Mr. Brady watched their work
and secured their release from Naude-
