Rose, and “A| Dry Town,” by Louis B. Ely, a writer om the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The| first one was tried out by a Milwau- kee stock company, and reports say it] { did very well. ‘The second is in its fourth week at the Pla Theatre, | St. Louls, and may be d there | indefinitely. It is not improbable that | both plays will receive Broadway hearings next season BACK TO STOCK FOR KEITH, Speaking of stock, the Keith inter- ests are to re-enter that line of the-/ atrical amusement on an extensive! scale. Lately their only stock com-! pany has been the one in Portiand,| Me. Believing the pubic is hunger- ing for plays, the Keith people will open the Gotham, Brooklyn, on March 12 with a stock company headed by| Alma Tell. ‘The first play will be} “Sinners.” Warren Munsell will be) director. Later other Keith houses will be used r stock, At one time the Keith interests had fourteen dra- matic stock companies. | BY WAY OF DIVERSION. | Last night I was dreaming @ dream | that was teeming with joy for a man) ‘who has leanings like mine, | dreamed | I was lying where tall trees were sigh- ing and into a river I'd dropped a fish fine, As there I lay resting and S’MATTER, POP?” Pop Would Be Rid of His Corn at That!
