chance De Wolf Hopper saw the manu-
script and persuaded Strong to turn his
play into a comic opera. 1t became
"The Pied Piper" forthwith and en-
joyed large popularity during its run
on Broadway. By coincidence, Helen
Menken, leading woman of "Three Wise
Fools" was one of the youngsters in
"The Pied Piper" and she renewed her
acquaintance with Mr.. Strong during
the rehearsals of his latest play.
When David Belasco decided to
Americanize "The Good Little Devil"
play by the Rostands, he gave the
adaptation to Austin Strong. With
Mary Pickford in the principal role
the play had success in New York, in
which the Rostands, Strong, Belasco
and little Mary had an equal share of
glory. Bunny" was Strong's next
Broadway play, and then he went to
work on "Three Wise Fools" known
first as "Three Wise Men,"

it and love it. I wouldn't give it up
for the world"
Another comedian, George Hassell,
came along just then, attired in filmy
female pajamas and boudoir cap. with
lavender ribbons. He used to play good
uncles and philanthropic physicians
and British buffers at the Castle
Square, in Boston.
"And I've never acted SINCE" he
groaned. I'm on my last lap of a
three years contract, and then no more
musical shows for me. If they must
have comedy they will have to take
it straight"
Mr.. Hassell is not small man. His
lingerie and the forbidding angle of
his pipe and his detected expression
combined to make a pathetic study in
contrasts.
Meanwhile stately feminine figures
floating by made way for Miss Gilda
Grey, the "shimmie" dancer. Miss Grey
owns up to twenty-five, but books
eighteen. She is Polish and proud of
it, but all of her stage experience was
gained as cabaret singer in Chicago.
Later on, as we watched the show from
the front, we remembered that Mr..
Wynn had said that he found it hard
to compete with so much youth and
beauty. Certainly, Miss Grey heads
the procession of fascinating rivals.

Comedians OFF duty are proverbially
morose, so when we went to interview
Ed Wynn, now shining light in the
schubert Gaieties of 1s1s," we knew
about what to expect. Mr.. Wynn was
not only true to type, but he was elu-
sive. After searching every nook and
corner of the world behind the scenes
at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre,
someone said, "Mr. Wynn is on the
street."
This seemed to US bad taste on the
comedians part. considering the num-
Der and variety of Junoesque young
women who were strolling about in
gorgeous costumes waiting for their
entrances. However, Mr.. Wynn was
reluctantly persuaded to return to the
fold.
"Saddest comic ever lived" he NUT
tered, with his peculiar brand OF
chuckle, thus fulfilling our expecta-
tions. Now knowing that Mr.. Wynn
would undoubtedly be sad, we felt he
might choose subject to talk about
like "The Psychology of Humor," @,
"How to Make an Audience Laugh" OF
something equally solemn. Instead, we
learned that, although apparently the
most mild-mannered of men, he is not
without force in the home.
II fired all the servants yesterday

This was a most unexpected confes
sion. 1t seems that the comedian hac
requested a lordly butler to perform

than real troubles, rebellion wa:
promptly followed by dismissal of the
entire household staff. Fortunately, The

Successful Playwright,
Relatiue of Stevenson,
No,u a Manage,

The author of "Three Wise Fools"
the Winchell Smith and John L. Golden
production which has had a run of
nearly year in New York, is Austin
Strong, a relative of Robert Louis Ste
venson and a playwright with several
Broadway successes to his credit He
is also foreign manager for the Smith
and Golden interests, and is at present
experimenting the London production
of "Three Wise Fools" which opened
last night.
Born in San Francisco, Mr.. Strong
was taken to Honolulu, Australia,
Samoa and New Zealand, where his ed
ucation progressed in widely diversi-
fled places, ending with his graduation
from the English College, New Zealand,
and including several years at Vailima
in charge of his famous relative, who
addressed to him several of the "R l..
S." letters.
From his boyhood days Austin Strong
was always conscious Of the Attraction
the stage held for him, but he followed
the advice Of his family and studied
landscape architecture, laying out the
largest park in New Zealand and jour
neying to France and Italy for post
graduate work. In his leisure moments
he worked on plays. One of these,
"Exile," written in collaboration with
his uncle, Lloyd Osbourne, he took to
London and induced Martin Harvey to
produce it. 1t failed, and the ambition
of Mr.. Strong was only made the
stronger thereby.
Coming to New York, he finished
"Little Father of the Wilderness" and
interested Charles Frohman in it's pro-
duction. Francis Wilson was engaged
and played in it for a season. To this
actor Mr.. Strong gave the manuscript
of Drums of Oude," one-act play.
Wilson liked it, and turned it over to
Frohman, who took it to London with
him on a trip. There he read it, and
when he learned that Barrie was look
ing for short piece to put on a pro-
gramme with two of his own playlets
he suggested Drums of Dude" 1t
had a success, and since then has
brought in a satisfactory revenue from
high class vaudeville presentations.
Strongs next play was "The Toy
maker of Nuremberg" done at the Gar
rick Theatre in 1907 by Frohman, and
one of the first plays by an American
author this manager ever produced
Cyril Maude saw it and thought it an
excellent medium for his type OF work
The following year he presented him
self in it in London.
In the mean time Strong had written
another play, this time for Mansfield.
Plans were completed for its produc-
tion when Mansfield died. By some

MILLIONS WILL BE UNSPENT IN
 MOVEMENTS
Tremendous Amount of Work Abandoned - No Appropriation Embarasses Construction Everywhere Stations, Bridges, Tracks and Buildings Go By Board.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. March 19.-In- structions issued today by the rail- road administration will result in the temporary suspension or postponement of millions of dollars of railroad i'm provement work, because of the finan- cial predicament caused by failure of congress to pass appropriation for the administrators revolving fund.
 The suspension of work applies to many new stations, under erection or planned spur tracks, roadbed inn provements, elevated tracks and con- struction of bridges and buildings.
 Railroad administration officials said comparatively few men would be thrown out of work, but admitted that the railroad improvement program, planned for this year, partly as a means of employing large numbers of laborers during the readjustment pe riod, probably would not be carried out. The program called for the eX- penditure of more than half billion dollars for additions and betterments alone.
 The orders specified that if corpo- ration officers of railroad companies withdraw or withheld approval of any improvements for financial reasons or otherwise, the case must be referred to Washington for final action.
 Approval to Be Withheld
 Railroad officers here today said that approval had been or would be withheld for hundreds of improvement projects.
 In cases where this approval is not given. procedure is to be as follows:
 Work not started shall not be com menced without the approval by the division of capital expenditures. As to projects already started and ac- tually under way, please see that nc further work is done except when nec- essary to ensure safety; where the project is so far completed that tC stop work would be more expensive than to continue it; and where a jot is covered by bona fide contract anc stopping the work would seriously de- i moralize conditions, especially as t working forces"
 The action was taken following { | conference of railroad administration ! officials with the railway executive | advisory committee of which Howar' ! Elliott is acting chairman. The or | dr to regional directors as signed D. l T. C. Powell director of the division ! of capital expenditures.
 As a result the entire program 10 improvements and additions this yea | will be reviewed. with a view of cur ting down expenditures. The budge for capital expenditures on all rail roads last year called for the outla
 of $I.27S. GOO, GOO, of which only $573,
 100000 was spent leaving .$705,0Oo,0o | balance unused.
