Garnet Tennis Player
Washington Boy Champ

J. W. Dudley. of Swarthmore,
who is playing under the colors Of
the Garnet in the intercollegiate ten
mis- tournament at the Merton Cricket
Club. was formerly iuterscholastic
champion of Washington. ID. c.,
representing the Central High School
at the capital city.
He has achieved considerable fame
in the District of Columbia, but
owing to the fact that tournaments
in that section occur only once or
twice year. he has really very
little tournament experience. He
reached the semifnal round in the
district championships this year,
and with his doubles partner took
the title in that event. Connie
Doyle, by the way, won the singles
crown.

w HE modern fashion of learning
~ to write plays at a college
~ must secretly amuse Augustus
%< Thomas. 1t is so much in the
tabloid, hurried fashion Of mod
ern specialization. His course on play
writing was much w.uer and dis-
cursive one. In the same school at
which he learned playwriting he also
learned much about railroading, acting,
agriculture, politics. together with a
vast deal about the United States and
longer time but it was worth it.
In q railroad shop as a boy of eigh-
teen he began to write plays to amuse
himself. His first one was produced
BY the railroad brotherhood at a bene-
fit. 1t was called "Alone," and it was so
successful that 1t was given repeatedly
at various benefits. They followed this
up with several other plays by Thomas
and few by other authors. Thomas
took part in these productions and be-
came quite an accomplished homespun
actor and author.
In the mean time. the business OF rail-
roading carried MIN far and wide over
the country. lie says there was a time
when he knew every water tower and
switch lever in the country-before
they were so numerous. and before
switching became an affair of auto
matte signals. Later he became an
actor. And then, in 1882, mis- first play
was produced In New York. BY all
sorts of various and shifting fortunes

new Capitol, for instance, they are
charging almost as much for the best
seats on Saturday night as we do in
the regular thesters. Then SO many
stars of the stage have been seen on
the screen that the people who see
them there want to see them in the
flesh and hear them speak.
"Prospertiy in the theater to-day :?
Why. it's tremendousl One Saturday
night about four weeks ago | estimated
the money taken in at the New York
theaters, including the big motion pic
ture houses, and it was more than q
quarter of million dollars The in
creased prices are responsible for a
part of that. For instance, In our
Winter Garden few years ago the
Saturday night capacity was $4,000:
uow it IS IS 800. The Capitol Theater,
| understand, shows is pictures and
revue to 10000 peope a week. Its
seating capacity is $500 and on one
Sunday. with four shows, they played
to nearly $1,000.
"My share in one show in which
am interested, Scandal which played
twenty light weeks in Chicago and has
FIVE companies on the road, will come
to about S250,0O0.
"The makeup Of the New York au
dience? 1t is estimated that we have
more than half million visitors here
all the time. They come here to have
a good time, whether they have bust
ness to attend to or not, and they
naturally turn to the theaters. Shows
like the Winter Garden have about
two-thrds visitors and one third resi-
dents of New York; the other sort of
shows reverse the ratio. The audiences
at the brand new shows are made up
most entirely of New Workers. They
want to see everything right away and
there are many who go to see virtually
everything presented"
Mr. Shubert's associates say he is
responsible for the Standardization of
the Theatrical business; that he orig
mated the. Sunday concert and that he
started the extra holiday matinee. He
was the first legitimate manager, they
declare, to go Systematically into
vaudeville for talent for his produc-
tions, and he conducts an Intelligence
bureau of scouts all the time TO look
out for the promising players.

~ RI in the theater as elsewhere

nearer to truth and simplicity at this

source of infinite pleasure to those who
have followed the gradual development
Of the American theater.
Never have the actor and the producer

have to-day. Under such conditions it
rests with the actor and the producer TO
direct wisely and truthfully the imagi-

preserving the illusion which is the very
cornerstone of the theater.
My one aim in staging plays is to
stimulate the Imagination. The demand

by accepting this post. but he soon
raised the Office to his own lever. The
gendarmes of Paris were made into

detectives. Later he laid the founda.
ton for the French secret service and
sent spies TO all countries with witch
France might become involved In war.
The system of International espionage

vogue about 200 years ago. Up to the

the queens counselor adopted the
court dress and silk gown which made
up the mourning of the period. togeth-
