seems to be aversion of the managers
to producing anything which has not
been touched up by dramatic artisan
Of acknowledged skill. The popular
procedure is to accept a script con-
tanning promising idea and then to
have it refurbished by Max Marcin.
Mr.. Cohan would have misled no one
if he had billed "a Prince There Was

ragh Aldrich. Usually the reviser in
serts a few bright notions of his own
and insists on being credited with
part authorship of the finished prod

structs virtually new play from the
original outlines. One highly profit
able piece now on Broadway was writ

little more than to argue about the
scenario. with his collaboration.
1t frequently happens that two play
wrights get together to "knock out a
than one where a box-otfice hit is de-
sired. Although either of them prob
ably could turn out success by him
self, they find that mutual exchange
of ideas brings about a more effective
INITIAL situation or a more striking
series of points" Sam Shipman doubt
less could unleash money-making PLAYS
on his own, but he prefers to have a
collaborator, even though that collabo-
rator act only as the medium on which
Mr.. Shipman strikes his sparks of bril-
llancy. His latest accomplice is Perci-
val J.. Wilde, known chiefly as a writer
of onc-act plays. Shipman and Wilde
have formed a sort of drama corpora
'lon, and they are ready to do a new
play every week end. AS long as there
arc suites available in Atlantic Citv
hotels they will tackle any Job which a
manager can offer.

One of the duct is not recorded

We should nevertheless do wrono "a

is that this tale Of gambling instinct

mother and of the mothers death for
the daughters sake is one of those i'm

1t Is from development alone that there
rises that strong full tide of passionate
interest which can drown the glare of
every coincidence and inconsistency
and which can carry us where il likes
on Its own adventure. In our deform
ing five reel system "The Avalanche"
has simply not had time to do anv-
thing but leap from incident to Incl
dent, landing on them as on slipperv
stepping-stones; its emotions, instead
OF being allowed to develop, have been
picked green and asked to ripen in
transit. Yet it is not without a certain
excitement, if only the excitement of
discovering that Elsie Ferguson has
reused herself from the letharey in
which she so long sat smiling at grief

business of an actress.

we saw the man who told it, the man
being Mr. Henningsen, the host.
Ihree times this week we have eaten
at Armenonville at the Knickerbocker
Hotel. We had supper, dinner and
luncheon, and always on the balcony.
At luncheon we were the guest of
Anton1o moreno, who is making a fv-

our fondness for Armenonville. "Ye

 FORPRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-Many per sons already are discussing the effect of Colonel Roosevelts death upon the presidential campaign of 1920. All are agreed that the effect will be tre- mendOus.
 It is reported that Colonel Roose- welt had intended to issue a statement soon declaring himself not q candi- date for President. Both Democrats and Republicans regarded him as n prospective Republican nominee. and his death will cause radical changes in the campaign plans of both parties,
 Some of the Republicans believe that Roosevelts death will unify the party by healing the factional differ enCes.
 Democrats believe that his death leaves the Republicans without a leader or a potential candidate.
 General Pershing is mentioned as the possible Republican candidate. The Republicans believe they will have plenty of time and material from which to select a candidate.
