Jennings and Mrs A D Melvin The cast contains all told twentyfive characters r r Clyde Fitch is unquestionably the most remarkable young man In AmerIca Amer-ica and has done more and better work than any other writer for the tags that this country has yet produced He has In the comparatively few years of his I literary activity written more plays than Shnkesoeax and he has never had a downright failure Within two I years as many as seven of his pieces have run in New York theatres at the same time and all made money for their exploiters and Tor himself Realizing as he does that he is writing for tonight to-night he knows equally as well that tomorrow he must write for tomorrow night thus day after day If he would live in the popularity he has won Up to the present moment Mr Fitch has I accomplished this selfset task How long can he maintain the pace Thorns tho question that Mr Filch has no doubt asked hlmsolC many times Here he a great dramatist a play a year would be normal output But ho is only onetwelfth a great dramatist so must needs write a play a month Last year and the year before there voro on tour about the country and playing In the cities so many of hia pieces that

be-tween the better English companies and the better American it Is that usually usu-ally the former exhibit a greater general gen-eral excellence of cast crImps that Is not so much the fault of our actors as of a system we have come to labor under Many of our stars find the footing insecure a few steps In any direction di-rection from the center The brief scenes which glOW shorter and shorter In which the star does not appear are hurried over inconsequently the groat one Is also very often Given all the good Ilnesthe sense of the play being be-ing sometimes mutilated for that purpose pur-pose and when he Isnt given them he takes them Americans teem to me to have a mare vehement interest In the personality of the player when they go to see a play in which Miss Marlowe appears they want to see a lot of Miss Marlowe they want her ou the stage all the time they want to hear her voice it is she they are interested in-terested in much more than in the character char-acter she is presenting Their ntele tin t-in the latter Is mainly In seeing what Miss Marlowe does with the character not in what the character will prove itself to be I believe the most ardent American patriot might bn brought to suspect that England i ll o sesges more actors of distinguished merit than we have nt home but however that may be our appreciation of fine Kncllsh acting Is not tempered by our loss In
