Ny first experience with George Ber-
nard Shaw came about through my de-
sire to secure Getting Married for
America. Eight years ago ! saw the
play in London. where it was not sue
cess, but | felt that it was a certain
success for America. Accordingly ne
gotiations were opened with Shaw, and
he gave me the American rights TO the
comedy. We then set about the casting
of the piece. As is well known, Shaw
leases his dramas with many restrict
ing clauses, one of which is that he
approve Of the cast selected to act in
them. When ! proposed a very splen-
did actress for the role of Mrs. George
in Getting Married." he objected and
wrote me letter which | did not like.
So | gave up the rights and dropped
the matter.
But | could not forget the play.
was so sure Of its reception in this
country that ] did not want to miss
producing 1t. So two years ago | again
opened negotiations with Shaw for the
play and again secured the rights to it..
Later one of my friends in London
wrote me that Shaw had been keeping
Getting Married" for me all the time
As ! could not cross to England TO
discuss the production with Shaw and
he would not come to America, details,
had to be arranged by cable and letter,

THE STORY OF HAMILTON"

him in 1877, which now reposes in ii.
New York Public Library, shows tia:
the great man was in fact involved
much more simply than is shown ia
the play. Here follows an ex,rsc.
from his pamphlet:
"Some time in the sumner Of the
year 1891 a woman called az ny house
in the city Of Philadelphia and asked
to speak with NE in private attend.
ed her into room apart from the
family. With a seeming air Of stlic.
ton yne informed me that she was
daughter OF a Mrs. Lewis, sister 70
Mr.. G. Livingston and wife 70 Nr.
Reynolds, whose father was in the
commissary department during the va'
with Great Britain; that her husband
who for long time had treated her
very cruelty, had lately left her to
live with another woman and in 50
destitute a condition that, though de.
sirous OF returning to her friends, she
had not the means; that knowing |
was a citizen of New York she rad
taken the liberty TO apply 70 ny hu.
manity for assistance.
81 replied that her situation was a
very interesting one; that | was dis.
posed to afford her assistance to con.
vey her to her friends, but this a. th.
moment not being convenient to us
(Which was the fact / must rsques:
the place of her residence, 10 which |
should bring or send a small supply
Of money. She told me the street and
the number of the house where 81.
lodged. In the evening ! put bank
bill in my pocket and went 70 the hols.
| inquired for Mrs. Reynolds and vas
shown upstairs, at the head Of whlea
she met me and conducted me into 4
bedroom. ! took the bill out Of ny
pocket and gave it 10 her. Some con-
verSation ensued, from which il vas
quickly apparent that other than Pc
cuniary consolation would be accept
able"
Hamilton committed a very human
sim commented Mr. Arliss, land 10
expiated it in superhuman way. The
actual incident Of the play does nc'
show Mr.. Hamilton hero. Bu. the
courage with which he faced his ehs'
mics after his error and his treEen'
dous sense of duty to mis- country IS
one of the fine things in America
history"
Mr.. Arliss has also received Letter
from DR.. Allan McLane HamilIof'
grandson of Mr.. Hamilton, in reply 70
a letter by Mr. Arliss, in which the
actor hoped that there would be 10
offence taken at the utilization Of ne
Reynolds incident for the play "Oa
the contrary" wrote DR.. Hamilton, !
consider that this affair brought GU
the character CT the man in a fash, ana
showed his indomitable courage uha"
all circumstances

WHY FAVERSHAM PICKS SHAW
The Advancement of the Stage Makes the Production Of
'Misalancc' Not Only Feasible, but
Obligatory
By William Faversham

but things progressed very smoothly.
He expressed himself delighted with
the cast, and our only difficulty arose
over the opening date. | was so conf
dent of the success of the play that |
did not consider anything could COM
pete with it, but Shaw held to il that
a Presidential election was more inn
portant to the American public than
one of his plays, and would not give IN
to our producing the comedy before the
election was over. The success or
Getting Married" both in New York
and on tour, surprised even Shaw him
self. who prophesied that the play
would run only few weeks to aver
age business, much less than four fig
ures. We stayed in New York fourteen
weeks TO business three times Shaw's
estimate. But ! mus. say that gener-
ally Shaw is a keen judge Of the COM
mercial value of his plays.
After Getting Married" vas pro-
duced, Shaw asked Granville Barker
to suggest "Misalliance' to me for
production. | had read the comedy
some time before this, and it did not
seem to me suited to the stage, but at
Bankers urgent request that | reread
it I did so, and was surprised at my
earlier decision on the play. 1t
seemed to me that it was the bes:
legitimate comedy Shaw has written.
