Of Iovemaker, but one that is fascinating
and convincing.
The drsmatization is by Pauline Phelps
and Marion Short. The staging is by
John Mckee, and Colonel Savage has
given the production all the native color

This department has been asked several
times regarding the possibility Of lower
theater prices next season. The follow
ing from the offices of William Harris
Jr., Hudson Theater, New York CITY
NAV answer some OF the questions sent
to me.
/ Box office prices in New York theaters
have come down most RssuredIy. The le-
/ Ultimate attractions opening so far In
/ the new season are all at the $3.50 scale,
/ and the ulppodrome announcement
states that $3.50 will be the scale in that
house when it opens. Last year the Hip
podrome charged So. The Follies Is
| charging So, but other musical shows are
playing at the 80 scale, and few OF
| them at $3.50 These facts have aroused
more or less comment in the newspapers,
and some managers have claimed more
credit than was their due One statement
issued contained the chance para phi
that "otheF" managers had agreed to
come down, mentioning William Harris,
Jr, as among those who had agreed.
Pep was injected into the discussion at
once, for Mr.. Harris objected then and
there His statement contained this snap
py stuff:
II regard the announcement that l
have agreed to return to the $3.50 scale
as a piece of unmitigated gall. I have
been advocating and practicing a mod
crate scale at all times. Throughout past
seasons when other managers have been
playing tag with box office prices, /
| have been steadily maintaining the $3.50
scale wherever possible.

through their New York runs at the 50 so

NEW PLAYWRIGHTS

OF unusual local interest comes the
announcement from Stuart Walker that
his third premiere of the season will be
new play from the pens of Meredith
Nicholson, one Of Americas best known
novelists, and resident Of this city, and
Kenyon Nicholson. Mr.. Walkers general
press representative. Honor Bright is
the title which has been conferred upon
the piece, and according to its authors,
it is a comedy built around a young col
lege girl who is a plucky and resourceful
type or modern Ameriman womanhood.
The playwrights believe that they have
hit upon a new kind Of heroine in Honor
Bright" In the comedy she blithely
starts out to sell a voluminous set of
reference books called The Worlds
reatest Thoughts" in ten volumes. She
meets with instant success as a book
agent. and also becomes involved In the
workings Of a household located along
the North Shore near Boston. Her
unique experiences in this household SET
a rapid pace for the comedy and sustain
interest through all Of it's three acts.
Although both authors were born in
Charlottesville, the literary metropolis OF
Indiana, and possess the same surname
they are no relation. This is their first
venture into the field of writing full
length plays. Meredith Nicholson has a
long list Of best sellers to his credit, in
Guiding House of a Thousand Candies,
The Port Of Missing Men" and THE
Siege Of Seven Suitors' Some Of his
works have been dramatized and made into
motion pictures. but this is the first time
that Mr.. Nicholson has directly written
anything for the stage. Kenyon Nichol-
son Is known as the author Of several
one-act plays which have been produced
by Little Theater societies throughout
the country, and in vaudeville.
