The plays of R. C. Carton have for
thirty years been favorites on the
London stage, and many Of them have
been produced with striking success
in this county. Mr.. Carton, an Eng
lishman, was originally an actor, but
retired from the stage a number of
years ago to devote his time to play
writing. Lord and Lady Algy" is
one of his well known works. "The
Tree of Knowledge" produced first
at the st. James Theatre, London, in
1896 and revived many times since
that date, is powerful, thought-com-
polling story and especially suitable
for reproduction on the screen.
