ISOLATED with promising financial pro-
motions. Mr.. Chambers confessed that
he himself led for a little while very
much tho kind OF city life as IL de-
scribed In the play as BHnn's. In the
South African slump" that followed
the great gold mining boom he lost the
savings Of many years, and he was in
hopes Of getting back from the city. or
say rather the Stock Exchange, what
the Stock Exchange had taken from
him. Many inviting and promising
schemes came under his consideration
and absorbed his time and energy, but
as mono Of them ever materialised into
actual money he soon returned to the
writing Of plays a. bootmaker re-
turns to his last. II was on this return
that he wrote his perhaps most cele-
brated comedy. The Tyranny Of
Tears
The admission was q fash Of self
revelation. Mr.. Chambers himself was
BIinn. Documentary evidence exists In
the play. BNna's niece, for instance,
mindful OF his talks. asks him II he
hasn't any founders shares In a GER
tain imitation India rubber company.
BHnn replies that the company has
been wound up. as ''the damned stuff
wasn't any good" This, It IL admitted,
was taken from q personal experience
Of the authors in those troublous
days.
II never saw anything that looked
so promising as that imitation rub
ber," remarked Mr.. Chambers with
touch Of usefulness. "A whole lot of
people went into 1t, and I thought ]
had fortune before me. it was good
for everything that rubber was good
for. but Ooh. those buts!). the trouble
with the stun was that It wouldn't
stand the action of water"

clever young actress soon showed at

Miss Carlyle was playing In Los
Angeles when Daniel Frohman visited
that city with Margaret Ellington in
THE Thief" Mr.. Frohman fancied q
resemblance between Miss Carlyle and
Miss Ellington and suggested that II
the former ever visited New York she
call on him. Miss Carlyle didn't wait
long. She went to New York and
called on the manager. He asked her
to read the big scene from The Thief"

that The Yankee Doodle Five" 10 set
ting a rapid pace for the other enter

OF them it Is written:

are Al. They get the stun over and
the boys are enthusiastic. Send more

Another director, after praising the
Yankee Doodle Five" mentions Leo
Donnelly of the Potash and Perlmut-
ter" series and Will Cressey, vaude-
vile author and actor, for enthusiastic
criticism.

adds, have already made two big hits

In this group are Helen Goff. James

II wish to make special mention" the
letter goes on, "of the William Cressy
company. They arrived at time
when they were needed most, the boys
having returned for rest and training
after having been in some Of the
nercest battles. They have played to
10000 people In one day. There is no
