Using playwrights who seem to be
entering upon a prolific and profit
able period. Mr.. Richman, already
known for Not So Long Ago" and
Ambush" two widely divergent
works, probably will have at least
three Of his plays produced next

One OF them, announced by Gill
bert Miller during the last week,
is entitled The Awful Truth" and
will be tried out by Miller, ST., in
San Francisco this summer.
A second of the Richman ventures,
a comedy in which Marie Tempest
will have the leading role. is here
announced for the first time. The
name of this play is High Tide"
and Mr.. Golden will be the producer.
The third Richman play is called
AIS Fair" and will have its first
performance at the hands of a stock
company at Toledo. In addition to
all of which. the Shuberts are talk
ing of making a musical play OF
Not So Long Ago" for production
on Broadway this summer.

found the sidewalk completely
blocked by a detail of police, while
a very pompous officer in gold braid,
whom I mistook at first for the car

of the cleared space.
A bystander informed me that the
President was attending the theater

protective measures. L discovered
there was no ban against stepping
into the gutter and walking past
the front of the theater in the
street, though the police had the
sidewalk cleared in front of the
playhouse for some fifteen minutes
in advance OF the close Of the per-
formance.
I am as Jealous as the next one
in favoring measures for protect
ing the President, but the mere fact
that the police had blocked the side
walk for fifteen minutes before the
President emerged not only created
the additional danger of crowd
but loudly advertised the fact that
the President would shortly appear
in person.

Dramatic Editor:
Permit me to say that I cannot
understand just what 1t is you ex-
pect Mr.. Stone to do in order to be
funny. In your review of Tip
Top" last Monday you seemed high
ly uncertain as to whether Mr..
Stone was a comedian or just an
entertainer. 1t is true. naturally.
that he is not the same Kind of a
comedian that Frank Tinney is or
Ed Wynn, either. for that matter.
but in a long acquaintance with
theater comedy. cannot remember
more ludicrous entrance for a
comedian than the one effected by
Mr.. Stone in this play. in which he
is blown clear out Of the cellar, all
covered with foam. by a premature
explosion of his homemade bever-
age. C. H. G.

Origin of Gunpowder.

The Chinese were long credited with
the invention of gunpowder, but not
long ago evidence was adduced to i'm
dictate that the ArabiaRs did not, as
commonly supposed, introduce gunpow-
der into Europe during the Eighth and
Ninth centuries. 1t is believed by the
most competent authorities now that
the manufacture of the first gunpow~
der was based upon the Fire Book
Of Marcust Graecus, which appeared
in Constantinople about the middle of
the Thirteenth century. This was the
source from which Robert Bacon, Al
bertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas
derived their knowledge of gunpowder
The first use of gunpowder to drive
projectiles is ascribed to a monk, Ber-
thold Schwartz, whose discovery was
made accidentally while preparing the
mixture for medicinal purposes.
