CHAPTER Vl-contInued.

Hammond stood staring after the
staggering figure; for once he was
speechless. The jaunty words had
sent terror thrilling into him. He
started lmpulslvely to pursue that i'm
pudent aCcOster-then he checked
himself. Had the man guessed some
thing7 Had the man known some
thing? Or had those words been only
q bit of meaningless lmpertinence-a
chance shaft which had accidentally
flown homer
The last conjecture impressed Itself
on Hammond as being the truth, and
his momentary fright died out. He
concluded that the incident was not
worth mentioning to Gramont, who
surely had troubles enough Of his own
at this juncture.
As for Ben Chacherre, he sauntered
from the alley, a careless whistle upon
his lips. Once out Of HammOnd's
sight, however ne qulckened his pace.
Turning into side strest, he directed
his step toward that part Of the bld.
quarter which, In the days before pr49
hIbitlon, had been given over to 10y
cabarets and dives Of various sorts.
Coming to one of them, which ap-
peared more dirty and ;aesolate than
the. rest, ChacheFre opened a side door
and vanished.
He entered what had once been the
Red Cat cabaret At table in the
half-darkened main room sat two men.
One Of them, who was the proprietor,
IerIed his chin in an invitation to

and still did not lack for power ant

The man at his side was apparently
not anxious to lInger, for he rose an,
made his farewells as Chacherre ar
preached.

Paul Geraldy, Author OF
''To Love- Started His
Writing Career as a Poet

Paul Geraldy, the author Of "To
Love-" in which Grace George, sup
ported by Norman Trevor and Robert
Warwick, is now appearing at the
Bijou, Is still in it's thirties.
He first became known as poet
with the publication of a little vol
un2e called "Toi ct Moi,"-"You and
l." This is collection of love poems,
full of sentiment, but not of senti-
mentality. It's popularity may be
judged by the fact that the last French
edition brings the sale to something
more than a hundred and forty thou
sand.
Before the war Geraldy had had one
short play produced in Paris, but
he was hardly thought of as drama
tist. He had started work on "The
Nest which Mise George translated
and directed here last year, with
Lucille Watson in the leading role.
but the play wss not completed until
after the armistice. 1t was accented
then by the Coincide Francaise and
became popular feature of the G.ym-
edle repertoire. In the course Of the
war Geraldy wrote "The War.
Madame -" little book which
found its way into many languages.
"Aimer," or, as Miss George has
literally titled It, ATo Love- is the
second of Geraldy's full length MAYS
II was accepted by the Comedie Fran
false in 1921 and produced in No
yenlber Of that year. The French
Academy honored ii with ita gold
medal as the best French drama Of
the year. Now, after year in the
Program Of the Coincide Francaise, it

The following letter on the history
of "Rain" has been received from Mr..
John D. Williams.
Dear Sir: So many and so con-
fiicting accounts have appeared as to
the origin of the play "Rain" that the
following authentic history of the play
is here given. -
] read the story, "Miss. Thompson"
upon which Grain" is founded. as it
appeared in the Smart Set" ] thought
1t the greatest example of modern
realism I had ever read. But did
| NOT think it contained material for
play. did NOT buy the story for
purposes Of dramatization. Some time
after reading it met John Cotton,
who told me that he had happened to
be in San Francisco when the proof
sheets of Miss Thompson" were sent
to w. S. Vaughan, its author, for cor
rection. Maugham was busy at the
time and asked Cotton to correct the
proofsheets and mail them back to the
|
"Smart Sets ,a.
AS Cotton thus read the story, in
galley form, he and he alone was
struck with the idea that it contained
material for a great play. Cotton there
and then told Mangham his belief that
the story could be refsshioned for the
stage. Maugham's answer was that he
could not. see any play in the story of
Sadie Thompson" looking at the ma
teriai from any point of view, But he
1 concluded by telling Cotton to do what
he wished with the material.
/ Cotton then came East and sat down
with Miss Clemence Randolph to re-
mold Maugham's story for the stage.
! When he had written half OF the frst
acton yellow sheets In lead pencil
he showed it to me, and it was then
that contracted to buy the play. Half
Of the first act, as written by Mr..
Cotton and Miss Randolph, was proof
enough that 9 great play would result
from the magical touch Of these two
young dramatists who could quicken
Mr.. Maugham's plot and characters into
/ sn exceptionally vivid and dramatic
stage representation.
When, at my apartment, the play was
finally written, the search that set in
was not q search for percentages or
the most likely partnership arrange
ment-that kind of thing is always
easily settled by long established
precedent in the theater. The great
guest and the only quest was for the
actress who could play Sadie Thomp-
son. |, now owning the play, treated
with as many managers as had likely
young leading actresses under contract.
During my search Mr.. Sam Harris
asked TO see me, and, after hearing the
names of tho actresses / had consid-
cred, told me that he had Miss Jeanne
Eagels under contract. The end Of
my search was obv;ous-Mr Harris
could contribute the actress, could
contribute the play.

Bruce McRae, the Suave,
Makes the Play Rum Smoothly

No theatrical season in New York
would be complete without
/. The two Follies.
2. A new Hippodrome show.
8. Bruce McRae.
This is story about Mr.. McRas,
an actor who is as much Of a Broadway
fixture as Joe LEBLANC, or the Hotel
Astor. Others players, many of them
stars, roam far from New York's the
ater belt doing this thing or that
and perhaps doing it well~-and remain
one, two and sometimes three seasons
AWAY from the blazing acreage north
Of Forty-seeond Street. But not SO
with Bruce McRae. He changes his
plays, he changes his theaters, but he
does not change his town. He is, per-
haps,Di the lead of all the prominent
players Of the American stage in so far
as consistent, r-in-and-year- out ap-
pearances on Broadway are concerned.
So steadfastly has Mr.. McRae clung
to that street and this town during
recent years that a season would in
deed seem strange without him. He has
been peculiarly fortunate too, it seems,
in being everlastingly identified with
plays that enjoy long runs, and it must
be matter of no little satisfaction TO
him to know that he can lease an
apartment in Septernber--in event he
is in the habit of leasing apartments
and be reasonably certain that he will
be in town to enjoy it throughout the
winter months.
Before "The Awful Truth" came to
Times Square the announcement that
Mr. MeRae, Americas most accom-
plished drawing room performer, was
Included In it's cast led the Forty-sec-
ond Street dopesters to the belief that
the play was good for run-a long
ram. And now "The Awful Truth" has,
apparently, settled down at Henry Mil
ler's Theater, and Mr.. McRae, as is his
custom, has settled down at. his apart
ment or his hotel or his club, or where
ever he does settle down, with the COM
ing Of each blustery winter.
Take the record of Mr.. McRae and
consider it chronologically, if Won
please, from this season on through the
seasons of preceding years. Before
The Awful Truth" he was with 'sTae
Gold Diggers," which took on a toe hold
at the Lyceum Theater, and showed no
inclination to break loose until il had
scared way beyond the 500-perform-
ance mark. "Daddies," another Belasco
production and another long-run piece.
engaged the drawing room talents Of
Mr.. McRae prior to 'The Gold Dig
gers" and before that there was "Come
Out Of the Kitchen" in which Ruth
Chatterton appeared. That had q lon~
run, as did @Years of Discretion ari
"Nobody's Widow" both of which cam :
some years before the Chatterton piav.
The Edgar selwyn comedy, aNearly
Married" came somewhere in betwee !.
That brings Mr.. McRae and this ae.
