Is a few miles from the bustling city
of Dublin. For three or four years
Miss Tell and her sister played about
their grandfather's estate. They also

william Hodge Tells
How He Writes Plays,

Aside from being clever actor,
william Hodge, the star Of "The
Guest of Honor" which Lee Shubert
will present at the Shubert- Belasco
Thester this week. is a novelist and
dramatist OF no mean ability. Mr.,
Hodge, in discussing the art of play
writing. recently disclosed some in
teresting. facts regarding his method
of creating for the stage.
II never write q scenario as do most
dramatists," said the star. Instead
make a mental scenario, which ]
never forget. By doing this I never
have to rely on typewriter or pencil
and paper. No matter where i may
be-on the stage, IT. my dressing
room, or in bed-I can revise my
scenario, making mental notes and
changes which Il never forget.
when the actual work on the play
is begun, l start right off with the
opening speech and 10 through with
the acts from the rise of the curtain
to the fir.ale, and 1t is seldom that
have to make change OF any Inn
portance in my manuscript after
have started II.
II always avoid unnecessary COM
plications, as l do not believe that
they are at all essential to the sue
cess OF a dramatic work-that is, not
too many of them. Complications arc
not buds on the main trunk of the
dramatic tree by any meaIs. 1t Is
best to keep on the main theme trunk
at all times, working direct to your
objective point. / generally devote
the hours from midnight until in
the morning to actual composition,
and the next day, after a nights
sleep over my story, / fill in the dia-
loKue and details. 1 divide my day
with this work ard letter writing and
reading"

SKULL 5000 YEARS OLD

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 30.-The
skull of prehistoric man was found
a, few days ago by Clyde Richards,
a farmer and surveyor, living near
Clarks Hill, while he was excavating
along Lauramie creek. Richards took
the skull to Indianapolis Saturday and
at the state museum it was identified
as belonging to man of the stone
age. The skull is three times as thick
as an ordinary skull of today. The
curator at the museum told Mr.. Rich
ards that the man, whose shoulders
the skull once adorned, lived 5000
years ago. He belonged to the race
which conquered and succeeded the
race known as the square heads, of
an earlier age.
