THIS isn't the sporting section, and
I Il Mr. McGeehan may have all sorts
Of ideas about people who butt in, but
it must nevertheless be set down in
this spot that the Dodgers should brace
Up. They should get out Of midseason
form and begin winning again. If only
and here is where the drama is con-
cerned-if only for Willie Golfers
sake.
Collier is coming into town with
new show this week, but he is not al
together happy about il. The show 1t
self may be all right. and probably is
it is the worlds series that's worrying
Collier. He held out as long as pos
sible before accepting a New York en-
gagement, and at one time last week he
refused point blank to go to work until
the pennant tumble became a little
more understandable. But it began 70
/ be apparent that not even pulmotor
could keep "a Pair Of Queens" alive, so
/ Collier consented to plug the gap.
Therefore he is roofing for Brooklyn.
For time he thought he wanted Bos-
ton engagement, and then Philadelphia
appealed to him. 1t is possible to sec
q worlds series game in Philadelphia
and still get back here in time to do
nights work, but it is risky. And if the
whole series is played in Boston Collier
i is merely lost. Then look out for
sudden closing Of Nothing But the
Truth"
This is not the first time that bust
ness has tried to interfere with Col
;ier's pleasure, but on the previous oc-
casion Collier wouldn't let it. In 1910.
when he was playing "A Lucky Star"
Under the Frohman management, he
persuaded All Hayman to book him for
d Pacific tour so that he could be in
San Francisco for the Jcfries-Johnson
fight. Then the Governor of California
( refused to allow the fight to take place
in his state and the transfer 70 Reno
, followed. In order 20 see the encoun-
ter Collier bought out the house for
three days, sealed it up tightly, and
went TO the fight Yes, Willie Collier
is bit interested i9 sporting matters.
/ Oliver Morosco has been committed
for some time to the plan Of making
his musical comedies out of old farces,
thereby insurng q plot, and now Ray

After all. it turns out, Messrs.
Hauerbach and Friml are not going ut
tcrly creditless during the run Of
"High Jinks" in London Their names
were omitted from the billboards out
Of consideration for the tender and
anti-Tcutonic scnsibilities Of the Eng

The name Of the story on which
Montague GLASS; new play is founded
/ is Making Over Milton" exactly as
not stated in The Tribune a few days
ago. With only memory to fall back
upon, it was printed "Thc Making over
Of Milton" and Mr.. Glass replies that
he never calls stories the making over
! Of anything. or the regeneration OF
anything, or the doing-anything Of any
thing. SO that is settled
After George Arliss has presented

a revival Of Barrie's comedy, The Pro
fessor's Love Story" with Mr.. Arliss
Of course, in the role made famous by
L. s. Willard. The play has not been
seen here for many years, but no one
who saw Mr. willard in the part is
likely to forget IT,
"The Man Who Came Back" is doing
right well at the Playhouse, and that
