Warrington Playwrights-Wash
ington will shortly add two more
names to its quota Of playwrights.
They are willard Robertson and Kill
bourn Gordon, both formerly Wash
ingtonians, whose new play. "A Mans
a Man." will be presented by Mrs.
Henry B. Harris for the first time on
any stage8in this city.
Mr.. Robertson was formerly al. ac-
tor, for several seasons a member of

viewer for the local press.

cided to give up the stage. Return
ing to his home here, he studied law
Later he became associated with the
legal work of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and when the gov
ernment took over the railroads he
was transferred to New York as a
special attorney.
Since he left washington, six years
ago, Mr. Gordon has been actively en-
gagged in the publicity and business
end OF the theater. He is now gem
eral press representative for William
A. Brady.
An accidental meeting in New York
last winter resulted in the determine :
tion of Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Gordon
to collaborate in writing plays: "A
Mans Man, described as melo-
drama, is said to be of sufficient prom
ise to warrant the acceptance Of two
more plays by the two playwrights.
