Show GOOD.WIN VS. COLLIER. I ... j Nat C. Goodwin is to be seen next season in a new play by Booth Tarkington and Harry Loon Wilson, the authors of "The Man From Home," which will be called "Cameo Kirby." Goodwin, It may be remembered, renounced the stage last spring and decided ho would build up a new life as a gold miner. Two months ago he returned East and took It all back. Not that there wasn't gold out there in that mine he bought. "I know there is," he announced, "for I put it there myself." Goodwin has definitely given up Shakespeare and there are not wanting those who insist he was led to this decision by Willie Collier. The two sat together in the Lambs' club in New York on the Sunday before New Year's. "Nat," said Collier, "I'm tired of this comedy business. I'm going to try Shakespeare." "Good lad," said Goodwin. "What character? Bottom, Falstaff, or what?" "Nix on the comedy," said Collier. "I'm for Shylock." "What rot," returned Goodwin. "You can't play Shylock, Willie." "Is that so?" demanded Collier, with some heat. "I'll bet I can get as many laughs out of him as you did." Kind friends dragged ' them into separate rooms. |
