LONDON, Jan. T.—Victorien Sardou’s tremendous energy and genius for inven- tion still show not the slightest sign of flagging, in spite of the fact that the fa- mous playwright is now well on toward his seventy-seventh birthday. A London actor-manager, who saw the grand old man of French drama in Paris the other day, declares that he found him appar- ently as hale and hearty as any of us; nct only capable of working from 10 in the morping until 6 at night, but actually doing it; and in every respect a long way from Dr. Osler’s lethal chamber for the forty and odd. But the most interesting piece of news regarding Sardou, which this visitor dis- closed, was that the doyen of French dra- matists is writing a new “Scrap of Pa- | per.” It is over forty years since his fa- | mous comedy of that name took both | French and English speaking play-goers | by storm, and now he is hard at work< on another plece on the same lines. At | present three acts of it are complete, and | [bardou expects to finish the last one be-.| fore long, but the fact that the piece ls" | under way has been kept a profound se- | cret, and only a few of Bardou’s Inti- mate friends know about it. The veteran playwright hasn't yet de- cided on a name for his new play, but in | it he gives a new and surprising twist to | the story of “A Scrap of Paper.” His comedy of forty years ago was concerned with a shred of paper whose discovery | would reveal his heroine’s past in an un- | desirable way. Now there is again a tell- tale “scrap,” which is an evidence of by- gone folly on the part of a lady, but this | time the heroine wants to find the missing | | | document in order to prove the loyalty of | a later lover. Try as she will, however, she cannot establish her case. Circumstances con- spire to declare her blameless, when she knows and wants the whole world to know her otherwise. M. Sardou has built up his story so ingeniously that audiences will be quite dramatically concerned lest the unhappy lady should eventually be unable to find the proof | of her indiscretion. Of course, no ar- rangements have been made regarding | the play’'s production, but Sardou hopes | that it will be seen, not only in France, | | but in England and America, too. | ACTOR AND AUTHOR JOIN. | Meanwhile an English author and an English actor, both of whom are | known in the United States and | well both of whom have been out of luck lately, have jolned forces in a new bid | for fortune. These are Arthur Law hand Weedon Grossmith, Law made a lot of money out of “The New Boy,” in which James T. Powers appeared in America, and still more out of * Country Mouse,” in which BEthel Bar- rymore was seen, but his last play, “The Bride and Bridegroom,” was a dismal fallure at Wyndham's. As for Grossmith, who was just seen at home in “The Night of the Party,” “The IDuke of Killicrankie” made him pros- | perous, but he backed a loser in pro- ducing his own play, “The Duffer,” at the Comedy last fall In Law’s new piece, however, which he will produce at Canterbury next | month, Grossmith has another part that is right in his line—that of a hotel waiter masquerading as a count, and he may be expected to make the most of fit. He has kept American rights to the piece and will take it | across the water in case it proves a | success here. MISS LOFTUS IN PETER PAN. Many changes have been made in “Pe- ter Pan,” revived here this week at the Duke of York's, since the famous first night of a year ago. A gorgeous scene has been put in, with adorabie mer- maids, and plashing wavelets, and Peter Pan's “boys” all swimming about; and with a rock in the middie of it wherein thrilling adventures with the pirate chief take place. It is a little too much like Christmas pantomime. The chief and al- most the only change in the cast was the substitution® of Cissy Loftus for Nina Boucicault, and that change also was in the direction of Christmas pantomime. The introduction of new musical effects suggests the idea that Barrie would make yet another revolutionary success if he would turn his hand to out-and-out musi- cal comedy. PRODIGAL SON ON STAGE. So far as London is concerned, the dramatized novel has been conspicuous by its absence of late. Hall Calne's “Prodigal Son” is the only exception. | Now. however, Forbes Robertson prom- ises an adaptation which will be uncom- monly welcome if it is well done, and this is one that W. J. Locke has made of his really brilllant book, which was one of the successes of last season, “The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne.” As a matter of fact, Robertson Is Ordeyne to the life, |ana Gertrude Blliott should make a pleasing Carlotta, the Oriental runaway whom Locke’s bookish bachelor takes in- to his household to the scandal of Mrs. Grundy. The adaptation, however, is not | likely to be seen for a while, for the Forbes Robertsons have gone on a vaca- tion in Switzerland, and after that will make a lengthy provincial tour before trying conclusions in the metropolis again, ————————— ENGINEERS'S FORGETFULNESS BLOTS OUT THREE LIVES He Fails to Remember Orders and Runs Into a Passenger Tral CORRY, Pa., Jan. 7.—To an engineer's failure to remember orders is attributed the wreck on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad last night, when three men were killed and twenty persons injured.
