= _To DONE About Plays” and Players By BIDE DUDLEY ODDO RNOLD DALY may not produce “Beau Brummel” after all. A few days ago he began en gaging @ company for a revival of the famous old Mansfield com- edy and things were going along swimmingly, when they struck a snag. Mra. Manstiold, it seems, isn’t quite 10) accord with Mr. Daly's plans and she appears to own the producing rights covering the play. A man who ought to know says she wishes to keep It off the stage until her son, Richard, has progressed enough in the business of acting to appear in the title role, At any rate, an obst has arisen in the path of the proposed Daly produc tion, that same obstacle beings Mra. Mansfield. In forming his company Mr. had tentatively engaged some excel lent players, Among them are B. J. Radoliffe, Frank Conno Jerome Lawlor, Edwin Mordaunt, Alice Put- nam, Marguerite Leslie, Eva Denni son, Marie Curtis, Margaret Seddon, | ho was to play Roland Buckstone and Stanley Dark. BY WAY OF DIVERSION. He could dance the one-step lihtly, | in the fox-trot he was sprightly, while the fellow was a wonder at the waltz Bv'ry girl who ever met him would declare ahe'd not forget him, for a lack of grace was not among his faults. Lot @ tango band start play- ing and his thoughts would soon be straying from all else but dancing— other matters died. Life was one big session, but, to quote his own confession, why he couldn't earn a dolar if he tried. Oh, he lived at home with mother, while his sister and his brother worked and earned enough to keep them all alive. And it any one ouggented that he help, was rested on the statement that for work some day he'd strive, Then he'd yawn and let them worry; to some cabaret he'd hurry, and the ewath he'd soon be cutting would be wide. It was mighty hard to beat him—in a contest to defeat him. But he couldn't earn a dollar if he tried Once a girl from Jersey City, very graceful, very pretty, met our hero in @ pince where people dance. Say— he fell tn love instanter in the middle of @ canter, She had nailed him with a coy “come hither” glance, They | were married and it ended all his | dancing—it suspended. He's a coun. | ter jumper on the Jersey side. Al) hie tango dreams have quit him sinee | the love bug up and bit him, and he| couldn't do @ one-step if he tried, DEVONDE WRITING PLays.
