EDWARD CLARK, the newest addi-
IL ton to Broadway's gallery Of
won his place last Tuesday
evening at the Booth Theatre with "Dc
Luxe Annie" For a long time Clark
has believed that the erama was the
vocation for which he was born, but
"Coat-Tales" shook his belief last sea-
son. Now "Dc Luxe Annie" makes mat
tiers look brighter.
Mr.. Clark, for the information OF
persons who may be curious, has been
hard at the business of writing for tho
stage for more than score of years.
Vaudeville he has written infinitely,
and vaudeville he has himself played
infinitely. Indeed, he attributes the
fact that he is now the author of
Broadway success to vaudeville, for IL
was because of his inability TO get en-
gagements in vaudeville, due to hi.
membership in the White Rats, that he
was driven to writing for the regular
stage l0Slcdl OF the VARIETIES. livery
one who has followed the fortunes and
misfortunes Of the White Rats knows that
their policies ran afoul Of those of the
men in power. Because Of his rcd-hot
advocacy Of what he considered neces-
sary readjustments Clark, with other
White Rats, found himself blscklistcd,
and his opportunities for engagements
confined for the most part 10 small
time, small pay and few engagement
conditions. 1t was the spur OF this
necessity that urged him to attempt his
first regular play, the farce Goat
Tales" and it was the introduction that
"Coat-Tsles" gave him TO Arthur Ham
merstein that led to the production OF
the next Clark regular piece, this time
dc Luxe Annie
Clark has turned out several hundred
successful vaudeville pieces, many Of
which are still current in the yaude.

Next day he was in Mr.. Tyler's office.

"See if she would read the play"
Miss Beecher was reached on the tel
ephone and came TO the office for g
chat. "Under Sentence" was in its last
week. She took the manuscript and
read it. She was the only one who
didn't like the part.
81 don't like it," she said frankly.
~ don't think it's a good part and l
don't care to play it. I'm sorry
After that interview Mr.. Tyler tucked
the manuscript away in one Of the bot

more about it," he said. 81 think it's
a good piece of property, and, some

For four months the manuscript lay
in the bottom drawer, forgotten. And
then, one afternoon, Chance and OPP
portunity met in Mr.. Tyler's private
Office. Alexandra Carlisle, long a
friend Of Mr.. Tyler's, happened in for
little chat She had appeared in two
failures and was somewhat discour-
aged. She talked at some length, and
as she talked Mr.. Tyler was seized
with the symptoms of another Great

THE, INEVITABLE ACTRESS

will be-"
So the manuscript remained on his
desk while the rehearsals of Sadie
Love" progressed. The last named play
opened and began to enjoy at least
mild measure of success. Miss Ram
beau wrote that she felt it would run
out the season and that she would not
like to keep Mr.. Tyler waiting.
So it came to pass that the play,
then called "The Ohio Lady" was pre-
sented in Chicago for try-out pur-
poses, with selection No 4 in the cen
trail role-Mary Nash. This was a
year and a half ago, when Miss Nash
was acting with Grace George at the
Playhouse. This presentation resulted
in the discovery that the play needed
serious revision and alteration. The
company was brought back to New
, York and the work was begun by the
Messrs. Harrington and Street.
While the revision was under way
Miss Nash was engaged by Mr.. Brady
to create the leading role in "The Man
Who Came Back Then Mr.. Tyler
had another Big Idea. This time his
! choice fell on the delectable Lola
Fisher. She read the original manu-
script and expressed longing to play
the part. A hurry call was sent to the
authors to- finish up their work. Miss
Fisher gave her tentative promise.
Whereupon along came Arthur Hop
kins with the manuscript of Good
Gracious Annabel" under his arm. Miss
Fisher read it and liked that part, TOO.
| Could Mr.. Tyler tell when "The Country
Cousin" as it was now called, would
be ready for production? Mr.. Tyler
could not. The authors were still re-
vising. Miss Fisher waited for week
and then called up one morning on
| the phone.
81 like Nancy" she said, plaintively,
"but like Annabel, too, and AnnabePs
ready to begin tomorrow. Won't you
release mel"
Mr.. Tyler reluctantly did SO. A few
days later the revised play came to him
in the mails. Followed more mental
agony, and then-Emily Stevens. Mr.
/ Tyler has always had high regard for
/ Miss Stevens's talents, but ne did not
at first think her personality entirely
suited to the role. Miss Stevens took
the play, read it, and became tremen-
dously enthusiastic about Nancy. But
she was not certain that she could play
, her. She called her friend, Edward
/ Sheldon, the playwright, into consulta-
ton. lie read the play and made this
comment:

And she didn't. By this time Mr
Tyler began to think that there was no
chance whatever of finding the Inevita-
Bile Actress. lie somewhat timidly ap-
preached Grace George. That lady took
the play, read II. and expressed herself
as being delighted with the part. But
she was uncertain, and passed it on to
Friend Husband. He read it, and in.
formed her that it was utterly untitled

Mr.. Tyler's particular quest began
two years ago, when Booth Harrington
and Julian Street first commenced the
writing of "The Country Cousin" and
it continued until few months ago,
when Alexandra Carlisle was selected
to play Nancy Price.
The authors began the trouble. In
outlining the scenario, which was the
basis Of Mr.. Tyler's arrangement with
them for the writing Of the play, they
set down the following description Of
tho character:
Nancy Price is the best-looking in
telligent girl in the United States;
about twenty-eight; gravely humorous,
quiet and fearlessly cordial, though
not bubbling or enthusiastic

tion he Immediately decided that there

GTHE COUNTRY COUSIN" was in
l. dorsed last week by Theodore
Roosevelt and the week before that
by Woodrow Wilson, so it remains only
to get few million of the common
folk to indorsc it and it will be hit.
As between the two Endorsements, that
Of the Colonel is the more likely to be
of aid in establishing the play. The
reason for this, it should hastily be
added, is not political. The President
probably is just as good a dramatic
critic as the Colonel, but Mr.. RooSe-
yelt's approval was the more spectac-
ular and so attracted the greater at
tention.
The management of "The Country
Cousin" disclaims any intention of
endeavoring to profit by the Colonei's
presence on the opening night; nor
was there such intention. Mr. AMI
Mrs. Roosevelt attended the premieye
as the guests OF Julian Street who is
a particular friend of T. RS. But any
show which stirs the Colonel to making
a speech at its premierc-or stirs the
audience into demanding one-is off TO
good start, and the management, de-
spite its innocence, will inevitably
profit thereby.
AZ for Mr.. Wilson's Endorsement, the
best comment thereon was made by J.
NJ. Kerrigan, the Irish actor. Some one
told him that Mr.. Wilson had written
a personal letter OF congratulation TO
Miss Carlislc-a letter dictated and
signed by himself.

Spouse. "Surc, tits great tribute to
her. It's more than he did for the

A surprisingly small number of,
really prominent men. incidentally, are
in evidence at premieres. Colonc!
Roosevelt's visit to the Gaiety on Mon
day night marked his first attendance
at an opening in years. Needless TO
say, he would always be a welcome
guest. Sir Herbert Tree, who wanted
to make the premiere of Colonel New
come" something of an international
event-America and England were at
that time just en- the point of becom-
ing allies--was particularly eager that
Colonel Roosevelt should occupy box,
but the matter could not be arranged
Ex-Ambassador Gerard filled a first
row seat at the opening OF "Hitchy-
Koo," and was greeted first by Ray
mond Hitchcock and then by the audi
cnce. Otherwise the seasons premieres
have been destitute OF other than the
atrical celebrities, and any manage
meut can tell you that there is no
percentage in having a theatrical celeb
rty at premiere.
1t is permissible TO remark, without
mentioning names and places, that the

would like to have it. The hotel men

Of plays out-of-town showing, and
several plays which came into town
highly touted have so far failed to do
the business which was expected of
them. It is more than possible that
the custom of judging a play in the
provinces will fall into dlsrepute
among the ticket agents, and that they
will hereafter wait to see it in the
