This interesting contribution to stage
literature comes hurting from the
Playhouse:
When THE Man Who Came Back
opened at the Playhouse, one year
ago. some statistical person inserted
in the programme at the end of each
scene the distance in miles which the
hero had TO travel to reach the next
scene. Thus we read between the
acts the interesting information that
from New York 10 San Francisco Is
BIO miles, from San Francisco TO
Shanghai $500 miles, from Shanghai
to Honolulu 1850 miles and from
Honolulu back to New York $3.50
miles. All this distance the Man had
to come back.
But did the statistical person real
ize that when the play had run
year, as il was sure to do, Henry
Hull. who has played the Man since
the play opened, would have to face
the notoriety of having travelled
$500 800 miles? With 19.460 miles
TO the performance and 442 perform
ances, this result is inevitable.
II "The Man Who Came Back" ever
stops-and there are no indications
of its doing so now-Mr. Hull will
deserve nice sedentary part in a
play like "The Thirteenth Chair"
where the action takes place in only
one room. ....

CERTAIN observations made here
~ abouts several weeks ago. having
TO do with "Peg O. My Heart" and the
rights thereto, appear to have been in
some particulars untrue. The said
rights. il seems, arc not the property
Of Oliver Morosco, the r..aager, but OF
y. Hartley Manners, the author. Mr..
Manners states the case as follows:
"The dramatic and motion picture
rights OF the play belong solely to me.
The lease for the dramatic rights, under
| which the present management in the
United States and Canada is now pre-
senting the play, was for five years
from 1912. Consequently at the close
Of the season just commenced the play
reverts TO me. The manager never
owned any right to the play beyond the
lease for term of years"
Which means, in turn, that the mo-
ton picture producers may be able to
obtain the film rights by paying a cou-
pie of millions TO Mr.. Manners instead
of to Mr.. Morosco. All Of which, no
doubt, cheers them immeasurably.
