II suggest" said Dugald, "that, our
numbers having most fortunately di-
unfinished and there being, on the basis
of Peters calculations, enough to EN-
rich us all, we should share and
share alike" And this proposal was
received with acclamations, as was a
second from the same source, devot-
ing certain percentage of each share
to Cookie, to whom the news of his
good fortune was to come later as q
great surprise.
Shortly before shutdown Cuthbert
and Cookie were dispatched by Dugald
Shaw to the cliff above the cave with
supplies for the inhumed pirates.
These were let down by rope. A note
was brought up on the rope, signed by
Mr.. Tubbs, and containing strangely
jumbled exhortations, prayers and
threats. A second descent of the rope
ELECTED another missive. neatly folded
and addressed in the same hand to
Miss Jane Harding. Cuthbert gave
this privately to me, but its contents

mind to find Aunt Jane, with her UNI

the cliffs to seek the arms of repent

What to do with the pirates contin-

problem.
1t was Cuthbert Vane who solved
1t, and with the simplicity Of genius.
"Why not send 'em down to their
chums the way we do the eats?" he
asked.
Dire outcries greeted the decision.
Aunt Jane wept, and Chris wept.
Oaths flowed from Captain Magnus in
a turgid stream. Nevertheless the
twain were led away, firmly bound,
and guarded by Dugald, Cuthbert and
the negro. And the remarkable pro
gram proposed by Cuthbert Vane was
triumphantly carried out. Six prison
ers now occupied the old cave of the
buccaneers.

A Scottish parish church was In
need of a minister, and the beadle,
who was rather gawky character,
was very loud in his praise Of one of
the candidates. This gentleman was

beadle what there had been about
the candidate that so conclusively
proved his good qualities.

News and Gossip of the Stage

HKHE advent of seven new plays this
w week and the imminence of five
more in the week to come lays the
cornerstone of the season Of 1922
pretty solidly.
Labor Day, the fixed point for reck-
ching the new theater year, will bring
in four new offerings-Colonel Henry
Savage's gorgeous revival Of "The
Merry Widow" Lou Tellegen in "Don
Juan," William Faversham In 1.-THE
Silver Fox" and Richard Bennett in
"The Hero"
All the winds of vaudeville and bur-
lesque also trumpet the start Of the .w
season. 'The Pink Slip" an A. H.
Woods production starring Bert Will
liams, originally scheduled for to-mor-
row, has been called in for revision
and the opening will be announced
later. 1.-THE Easiest Way" the de-
ferred opening of "Tarzan Of the
Apes" and "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife"

Theater Guild production 1t is
under the management of Mr.. Reicher
and the Selwyns. Bataille's dramatiza-
ton of the story of this familiar char
acter differs from the versions of Lord
Byron, Moliere and others who have
used him in their poems and plays.
The plot deals with the love intrigues
of seventeenth century Spain, and Don
Juan is halted in his gallantries by
his supposed assassination. One scene
is laid in the Cathedral of Seville,
where he attends his own obsequies.
The role is the heaviest one Mr.. Tel
legen has attempted since he played
leads with Bernhardt in Paris. Notice
is given that late Corners cannot be
seated until the end of the first act,
since the play opens upon a situation
which does not permit of disturbance.

he and Belinda wage many battle

Quality Street"
Without Miss Adams
Equality Street" will be revived
under the personal direction Of Sir
James Barrie, with scenery designed
by Sir Edward Lutyens to reproduce
the atmosphere of a small English
village under the Regency. Vedrenne
is the producer, music is being ar
ranged by Norman O'Neill, and Charles
La Trobe will take care Of the nine
teenth century details. The cast,
which in the former presentations in
cluded Maude Adams, Elaine Terriss
and Seymour Hicks, is said to be amply
sufficient to the spirit of the revival.
The rare conception of pawnbroker
with a weakness for benevolence, Mr..
Cheeryble Of the tri-globular sign, is
the central figure of "Skittles," COM
edy by Lechmere Worball and Arthur
Rose, which opened recently at the
Apollo. Wiggleshaw, protector of the
poor, naturally has many clients. One
of these is the young lady known as
"Skittles," who, in addition to having
acquired such a name, is admirably
adapted for a heroine by virtue Of her
relentless determination to face the
hard, cold world. Unfortunately, when
she is completely helpless-or as nearly
SO as young lady of this kind can be
she falls into the hands of the nerci-
full, relenting, philanthropic pawnbrok-
er. From this point, and under the
auspices of the well-intentioned usurer,
she is propelled toward happiness and
prosperity in the form of marriage
with Lord Roftus, who comes in through
the door for private clients. Through
the same entrance, at various times,
appear Lady Roftus, his mother, and
the Hon. Margaret Anterior, his fiancee,
but they are relatively ,unimportant
in the pawnbroker's scheme of things.
Belated Play
OF Occultism
The enthusiasm of the audience was
largely due to the playing of Horace
Hodges, who radiates eleemosyna-y
Pollyannaism as the pawnbroker
Most of the conversation was clever,
for which the authors deserve credit.

the Belmont Theater. This is the play
which was given hearing last spring
at series of special matinees, when
it was received with so much enthusi-

"The Silver Fox" is comedy by

characteristics is the wife of popular

At the Knickerbocker Theater Henry
W. Savage will offer for limited en-
gagement of seven weeks new produc-
ton of "The Merry Widow" Franz
Lehar's famous operetta. The scenic
effects are by Joseph Urban, the cos
tunes were designed by Peggy Hoyt
and the staging has been done by
George Marion. The plot, save for q
slight modernization, is the same as
when Mr. Savage first produced the
play in America fourteen years ago.
The only change in the score is the
second act finale, which was rearranged
this summer by Lehar.
Henri Bataille's "Don Juan" will be
presented at the Garrick Theater, by
Frank Reicher, with Lou Tellegen in
the title role. The English version Of
this play, which created sensation
when it was produced in Paris last

Langner, of the Theater Guild, while
