Barrie and "Pster Pam"

! The birth of J. M. Barrie's play,
'Peter PAN" was full of romantic in
forest. Barrie had agreed to write q
play for Frohman and met him at din
ner one night at the Garrick club In
London. Barrie seemed nervous and
III at ease.
"What's the matter?' said Charles.
"Simply this" said Barrie. a'You
know I have an agreement to deliver
you the manuscript Of play?'
"Yes," said Frohman.
"Well, I have it all right" said Bar
RE, but am sure it will not be a
commercial success. It is dream child
of mine, and am so anxious to see it

you and which will compensate you
for any loss on the one I am 80 eager
to see produced"
Don't bother about that" said Froh-
man. II will produce both plays"
Now, the extraordinary thing about
this episode is that the play about
whose success Barrie was so doubtful
was peter Pan" which made several
fortunes. The manuscript he offered
Frohman to indemnify him from loss
was "Ance- Sit by the Fire." which last

FIFTH ANNUAL ROAD SCHOOL.
Big Yearly Event to Be Held at Madi-
son, January 81 to Febru-
arY 5.

The Fifth Annual Road School of the
Wisconsin Highway Commission, which
has become a fixture of interest to hum
dreds interested in road and bridge con-
struction and maintenance, viii be held
in the Assembly Chamber at Madison,
on January 81 to February 5, inclusive.
AT these meetings there is discussed
practically every vital question con-
corning the various types of roads and
bridges; methods, machinery and tools
used in construction and maintenance
as well as the state highway law and
its requirements and provisions.
Owing to the creation of the new
county road and bridge committees, and
to the increased state wide interest in
the subject of road construction and
maintenance, it is expected that the at
tendance at the coming road school will
surpass that of any previous year, al
though the Wisconsin Road Schools
have always been more largely attended
than have similar meetings in other
states.
For convenience, closely allied prob
lens have been placed on the program
for discussion the same day. Monday
will be Reception Day; Tuesday, Ad-
ministratior Day; Wednesday, Con-
struction Day; Thursday, Maintenance
Day; Friday, Miscellaneous Problems,
(being also County Highway Commits
sioners' Day.; Saturday, Contracts and
Accounting.
Any citizen of Wisconsin, whether Of
fcially connected with state aid road
work or no. is invited and welcomed at
all sessions. While the program is de-
signed especially to meet the needs of
county highway commissioners, county
committees, and road foremen, at the
same time contractors, engineers, and
city officials have found much to inter
est them in the program and exhibits.
The exhibit of road machinery and tools,
always a feature of the road schools,
will probably be even more complete
than usual.
