Fitch, nephew and sole heir of the late Clyde Fitch, is plaintiff in one of the actions; Alexander Engel and Julius Horst, authors of the original version of “The Blue Mouse,” which Fitch adapted for the American stage, are plaintiffs in the other. Engel and Horst say they sold the American rights of “The Blue Mouse” to the Shubert company on March 4, | 1908, and under the agreement were to receive a royalty of three per cent. of the gross receipts. The complaint says that on Decem- ber 5, 1908, the defendant ‘‘falsely and fraudulently” wrote to the plain- tiffs that ‘“even with the greatest amount of advertising” such plays as | “The Blue Mouse” impossible. It says a letter the Shubert company said: “I must unfortunately state that at the present time the prospects for large profits are not good.” On December 24, 1908, ‘the plaint goes on, the defendant cabled toithe plaintiffs that the = theater in which the play was being presented had been burned and that another theater would have to be leased and requeésted the plaintiffs to cable their lowest gross price for the sale out- right of the American rights. Induced to Sell Rights, The plaintiffs allege that by tHe statements made they were induced to sell their rights in the play out- right for approximately $720. ' They allege that all the statemhents made by the defendant with régard to the poor prospects for the were then almost from the theater in the mionth of Decem- ber, 1908. They are suing for $60,000. (" In the action sbrought by Willlain ) esi that the late William Clyde "Fit 61d to the Shuberts the exclusive rights to his adaptation of “The Blue ‘Mouse” and “Girls,” adapted from ‘“‘Succumbed at Last”” It was agreed- that fifty per cent, of the royalties received by the { defendants for stock performances of the two plays were to go to Fitch.: Fitch died on September 4, 1909. In, August, 1910, the complaint cofi- tinues, “with intent;. to ‘deceive and defraud the! administrators of . the estate,” the defendant represented to the administrators that the Shubert company was bound. by contract with the authors of “Succumbed at Last"” and “The Blue Mouse” to pay them a royalty and that it was an injustice to. the defendants to pay this royalty to the European authors out of its share-of the royalties when the inten- tion had been that the Fitch estate and the Shuberts should be equal partners in these plays. Says Shmberts Deceived Him, The plaintiff alleges- that at the time these representations were made to " the administrators the defendant company had acquired all the rights of the European authors in 'both plays, was not under contract to pay royalties and did not make such pay- ments. Mr. Fitch demands $60,000. Lee Shubert, head of the Shubert SLIM, TRIM AND TIMELY - SPRING SUITS In tune with the season and strictly in keeping with the idea of young men. Lose no time ‘in coming.
