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
