'The musical farce, Good Morning,
Judge has remarkable pedigree"
says Paul Potter, playwright and
dramatist. Monday morning, March
%, 1885, the newspaper readers of
London were startled by the discoy-
cry that new English playwright
had arisen. There had been produced
on the previous Saturday, at the
Court Theater, an original farce in
three acts. entitled The Magistrate"
by A. w. Pinero. The producers We're
two managers who had fallen on evil
days; namely, John Clayton. an ac-
tor, tson-in-Iaw of Dion Boucicault.
and VArthur Cecil (Blount), a draw
ing room entertainer of considerable
comic talent. The author was a
player in Henry Irving's company.
"Pinero was thirty years old. He
had only attracted attention with
The Squire produced by the Kendals
on December %, 1881, at the st.
James Theater. and promptly claim
ed by the critics to be a plagiarism
from Hardy's novel. Far From the
Madding Crowd Pinero denied the
charge with asperity. and to show
that he could write original work. he
began the composition of The Weaker
Sex, which was the story of mother
and daughter who loved the same
man.
Clayton and Cecil, sorely in need OF
a play, came to the seashore to hear
Pinero read The Weaker Sex They
would not have it at any price. Much
discouraged, they were leaving Pin-
eros cottage when he happened to
mention that he had been tinkering
light farce, in the French manner,
for Charles Wyndham at the Critic
rion. He read It then and there. The
managers accepted It then and there.
They hurried back to town with the
manuscript; put Mrs. John Wood,
Marion Terry and Albert Chevalfer
with the company, and so brought
things to that memorable night of
March 81, when real English
school of farce was born.
Though conceived in the French
manner. the play dealt with people
and things that everybody in Lon
don understood. They knew the two
magistrates of the Marlborough
street police court, they knew the
questionable supper rooms in Beak
street: their wives were often such
women as Mrs. John Wood loved to
impersonate; their walters were all
of the Albert Chevalier type. So it
was a night of national rejoicing, and
London, at last had something OF It's
own
.aThe first New York manager who
had an eye on the production was
Augustin DAILY. Ada Rehan was more
than anxious to play the bad boy. Cts
Harrington. But Pinero entered strong
objections. He argued that the whole
humor of the play turned on the con-
cealment of the boys age. the girls
thinking him fourteen when he was
really. nineteen. and there would be
no fun in it il Cts was only girl
dressed up.
aThe author was so excited by the
controversy that he came to New
York, and there it was settled as he
wanted it. James Lewis was the mag
istrate. John Drew was. Col. Kukyn,
and the part of Mrs. Posket. the wiSe,
was given to Ada Rehan. Those Were
the days of .Augustin Days Ideal

the characters was new to the Amer

o'clock and again in the evening at s

interesting of the series. because the
war news has come mainly from the
French front. which is perhaps more
familiar to the average American.
But Italy began her real work in the
war at the time when the Gar of
Russia was overthrown. and she kept
at it until her final victory. which
was one of the potent factors leading
to the German request for an armis-
