About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY NTRARY to an announcement @ two months ago, William . Crane fsn't to retire from the stage this acason. Joseph Brooks, hie manager, has arranged for him to appear, early next fall, in @ revival of one of his former starring vehicles, George Ade’s play, “Father and the Boys.” During the summer Mr. Ade will rewrite the comedy in order to bring portions of the play up to date. sAn interesting feature of the an- fhouncement of the revival is the) Statement that in the production of | the play Mr. Brooks will be associ- ated wiih the Frohman Company. Bince he moved out of the New Am- aterdam Theatre building Mr. Brooks has leaned toward the Shubert inter- outs. Another piece of news from the Brooks headquarters concerns Thomas ‘W. Ross and Maclyn Arbuckle, now pearing with Mr. Crane, Amelia Bingham and Edith Taliaferro in “The New Henrietta.” Next season Messrs. Ross and Arbuckle will be! & starred jointly by Mr. Brooks in a) new comedy now being written by George Hobart. Jeanne Eagles, who came to Broadway in “Outcast” and then appeared in the all-star pro- duction of “The Great Pursuit,” will be featured in the leading feminine role with the Ross-Arbuckle combi. nation. ‘The toxs of a coin decided that Mr. Ross's namo should precede Mr. Arbuckie’s in the billing. “The New Henrietta’ will close ite season in Bridgeport, Conn, next Saturday night, after a tour of thirty- seven consecutive weeks. Plans for Miss Bingham and Miss Taliaferro for next season have not been per- fected. SOTHERN EXTENDS RUN.
