"THE MIKADO," which the Doyle
Carte Company retold yesterday
afternoon and evening at the National,
after a somewhat slower start than we
had anticipated, picked up momentum
somewhere toward the middle and
spun out its story with ever-increasing
appetite until it came to Ko-Ko's
''Titwillow" and there the climax was
reached. Martyr Green also reached
his climax, after series of battling
tricks which had culmipated in an
admirable exercise with his left toe.
Mr.. Green's rendition of the cele-
brated '"Titwillow" song was the Surest
evidence of this company's worth,
since instead of burlesquing it all over
the place, he sang it the way it has
seldom been sung before in this coun-
try-simply and gracefully and af-
fectingly, and without the superim-
posed grunts and squeaks so dearly
sought after by our own comedians.

evening one of indelible pleasure in

H. c. Wells Will
Write for Cinema

From London comes word that
H. q. Wells plans to abandon his
regular writing and devote himself
entirely to creating and adapting
stories for the screen. 1t is to be
a temporary arrangement in the ma
ture of an experiment, and Mr..
Wells intends to devote the next
three years to it.
At the present moment, the
world famous author is occupied
with two screen plays for Alexander
Korda-"The Man Who Could Work
Miracles" and 100 Years From
Now"
The Man Who Could Work

is starred. is now completed and
nearly ready for release through

THE Farmer Takes Wife"
deals with the turbulent glamour
and vitality of the Erie Canal in
the early 1850s, and draws its dra-
matte conflict from the love of
boy fresh from the farm for a girl
who was attached to the water life.
Their love story merges into the
story of the canal people as the
drama proceeds. There are gusty,
humorous episodes such as the skip
per with the cargo of pigs, the
preacher who turns dentist, spells
of community singing in which the
principals render racy American
ballads, brawls, fist fights and liquor
bouts.
During all this period, Fonda is

Gently enjoyed her first vacation,
after 50 years of active dramatic
work. Even now she has neither
the desire nor the inclination to

According to Miss Robson, "Ac-

stimulating well-spring which
supplies energy, enthusiasm"

1t was only by accident that she

These early years of travel laid an
excellent background for her career
on the stage. She learned the pSy-

Gus countries, so that when she took
up acting as profession she could
portray women of various national
tiles with amazing facility.
May Robson was still quite young
when romance came into her life.
In London she fell in love with a
handsome young inventor, E. H.
Gore. After they were married they
came to America and established
Their home in New York. A few
years after their son was born, Gore
died, and May Robson turned to the
