away his mitt and go back to pitch
ing. Even as kid, which he was
then, Matty had SO much ability
that it stuck out all over him. Mac
used him regularly for the balance
of that season and by the spring
of 1903 he was a great pitcher.
"McGinnity was one of the finest
curve ball pitchers / ever saw and
a glutton for work. / guess he
would have pitched every day IL
Mac had permitted him to do so.
He was a hard fellow to hit

had an underhand curve ball that
he called Old Sal and it was a

Joe McGinnity went in the box

pretty good catcher, so he bought
Jack Dunn to replace me on the
pitching staff.
Bresnahan, after his unusual be-
ginning, went on his way to become
one OF the greatest catchers in the
games history and to distinguish
himself on three separate counts:
As the battery mate Of Matty and
McGinnity on the world champion
Giants of 1905, as the adapter Of
the shin guards for catchers, and
while managing the st. Louis Cardi-
mails as the man who developed two
remarkable catchers in Frank Sny-
der and Ivy Wingo.

New Yorkss taste IN play
wrights changes more slowly
than its taste in plays, but just
as definitely, as one may quickly
discover by comparing. q list OF
authors represented in metropoli-
tan production of five years ago
with one of the last season oc,
two. Apparently an entire new
crop has appeared In the field.
OF course there are few hardy
ANIMALS like Owen Davis, James
Forbes and Avery HOpwood, hut
the list OF newcomers makes an
overwhelming majority.
Five years ago our theater was
making a nodding acquaintance
with Eugene O'Neill, Arthur
Richman, George S. Kaufman,
Marc Connally, George Kelly,
Phillip Barry, Maxwell Anderson,
Lawrence Stallings, William An
thony Mcclure, Elliott and J. c..
Nugent, and dozen others whose
plays are now in constant favor

popularity since it began with
Dudley" four years ago and con-
tinued with a series OF highly
popular successes such as ITO
The Ladiesp Merton of the
Movies" "Beggar on Horseback"
and a couple of eminently sue
cessful musical comedies.
''The Wisdom Tooth;" however,
is Mr.. Connally's first play alone.
1t is said to be a fantastic comedy
more Or less in the mood Of
"Beggar on Horseback" but with
a more definite and poignant
story than that Of the sleeping
musician in the hilarious Beg
gar" This time no one goes to
sleep, but the little New York
clerk around whom the action
centers, goes through series of
retrospective experiences that take
him all the way to the days of
his boyhood in a little Indiana
town. There are 35 characters
and 8 scenes in it, so a production
as elaborate as the 'fBeggar" may
be looked for. .-'

Mischa Guterson. conductor of

registers small and sedate
yell against Times reviewers
slur on the rendition last Sum
day of "Blue Danube Waltz"
Says Mr.. Guterson:
"Perusing the criticism OF the
program now current at the
Rialto Theater, in The Times
of today, l was rather surprised
and amused at the conclusion
thereof which read that "if it
was correctly played last, night
something has happened to the
music since / last heard 1T.
"This statement was made re-
garding our overture The Blue
Danube Waltz can't imagine
what rendition of this famous
waltz YOUR critic was referring
to. PERHAPS as played by one OF
the numerous jazz bands we
have inflicted upon US these
hectic days; however we are
giving the famous Schultz ar,
rangement of the Blue Danube.
1t might interest this embryo
musical critic to know that for
two years / was concert master
for Oscar Strauss in Europe
and we played the very arrange
ment I am using at the Rialto
this week countless times.
81 would love to have you or
Miss MacBride come over to the
theater and hear our overture
and judge for yourselves
whether we are playing the
Blue Danube or something
else"
Sincerely,
M. GUTERSON.
Miss MacBride has promised
to hear this overture and upon
her report depends whether the
original reviewer is drawn,
quartered and hanged.
