‘PEOPLE WHO WRITE PLAYS. - Jet'sdodge through the alley—quick!*”” And ‘THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 9, 1877—SIXTEEN PAGES, i Passing the box-office, he purealy pokes a roll of manuscriot at the head, of the Treasurer ‘Just band that to Palmer,”-he says, and vanishes. Stuart Robson has been a sufferer both before and since “Sandy Bar.” The afiliction often comes in letters offering something that ‘twill exactly suit bis style of acting.” Itis no use assuring the correspondent that, his engage ments for the season being all made, it would be impossible for hi to entertain any proposal. The reply comes something like this: My dear gir: Yours received. Tinciose you the mauu- script of my play, not with a view to its im- mediate production, but for inspection and re- vision. 1 send it to you because you are one of ine very few comedians who have brains,’ and svon. This is highly complimentary, of course, to Robson and Crane, Clarke and Jefferson, and others. The other day. Crane had a play sont him stwith a part written tofit him.” Thecomicsitua- tion consisted in aman afflicted with catarrh who goes about annoying everybody with his bad reath. The ladies in the play hold their noses whenever he approaches, and this is calculated to produce screams of laughter. Imagine this for a closing tableau: Cotnic man in the cen- tre of a group of Jadics in a fasnionable draw- ing-room (all holding their noses) says: ‘* Why does everybody despise me?”? Chorus by the whole company: ‘Because you stink, because you stink!” Curtain. Crane told the author very politely that in his opinion an. audience would look upon this as yulgarity. ‘But it’s real,” insisted the author; “1 took that very scene from real life. I saw it. myself in'a drawing-room.” Crane declined to play the part, and the man went away in- sulted, firmly convinced; very likely, that Grane Was an ignoramus. It is said that the Parisian impressarlos have adopted the expedieut of sending all manu- scripts to Mazas for the convicts to read. They are returned to the manager with an exhaustive report. This is.an excellent idea. The con- viets, it is said, consider this kind of worka aa punishment than picking oakum or Steele walks away. AMUSEMENTS. Manners and Customs of the Manuscript Fiend.

It is barely possible, hardly probable. Play- making has become a, mania, and it will have itsday, f,course, it is casy to. sce what in- duces so many to engageinit. "Tis like the gold fever or silver-mining mania. We hear of some one making a fortune in one scason out of asingle play. We go to sce that play, and we pronounce it trashy and ephemeral. We say to ourselves we can write a better play than that, and we neglect our proper work to dig in this promising gold-region for a short and easy road to wealth. It is estimated that since the comedy-farces superseded the French emotional dramas at Teast 10,000 comedies have been written and submitted to actors for inspection, revision, and acceptance. There is a young man in the East who can write a five-act drama in twelye hours. Robson met him recently in New York,—saw him bearing down upon him with a load of manuscript, and was caught. The fiend held him up for two hours, and read his play throngh.

Now, as to next week, EDWIN BOOTIE commences a season of four weeks on Monday at McVicker’s, The sale of scats is going on, and to judee from the Treasurer’s report the demand for Booth this season will be active and extensive. The repertory for the present week is ns follows: Monday and Tuesday, “Ham- let??; Wednesday and Thursday, “King Lear”; Friday and Saturday, “ Brutus”; Saturday matinee, “Lady of Lyons.” Wheelock plays Laertes in © Hamlet,” and Edgar in’ Lea at Theodore Hamilton plays the Aing in * Ham- let,” Kent in * Lear,” and Sextus in‘ Brutus.” Harry Pearsonis to be the Polonius, the Gloster, and the Col. Damas. Laura Don takes Ophelia in Hamlet,” Cordelia in “Lear.” Zarquinia in “ Brutus,” and Pauline in “Lady of Lyons.” Roland Reed plays the Grave-Diagcr, and the Fool (in “Lear”). From this it willbe seen What Kind of casts may be anticipated. LAWRENCE BARRETT. * Mr. Barrett opens an engagement Monday at Hooley’s, and, during the week plays a series of tragic parts, such as are calculated to form’ a strong counter-attraction to Booth. Itis to be hoped that the public will take an interest in- the rival actors, and gain a thorough knowledge of them both. :Barrett comes supported by Tom Daver’s Dramatic Combination, into which will be inserted Mr. James O'Neill. ‘There‘is to be achange of bill overs night, the programme being as follows: ‘*Richclien” on Monday, «OQthello” Tucsday, “Marble Heart” Wednes- day matinec, “Hamlet,” Wednesday evening, ““Sfacbeth” ‘Thursday, ‘Richelieu? Friday, “Romeo and Julict’? Saturday afternoon, “Richard the Third” Saturday evening. This isa lively programme, and almost takes one’s breath away.
