About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY AURETTE TAYLOR Is to open what is called “her second consecutive New York season” at the Liberty Theatre about the mid- Ale of September, While she will have four new plays by her husband, J. Hartley Manners, in her repertoire, she will give a few additional per- formances of “Out There,” her Globe ‘Theatre vehicle of last season, carly in the fall, It is announced that Miss Taylor will occupy the Liberty until June. The theatre is now being re- decorated 4 refitted throughout to ; meet ber id MARCIN’S NEW PLAY. Max Marcin has placed with A. H. Woods for production early in tho fall a play called “The Face at the Window.” He describes it as a farc- joal mystery melodrama, Kiaw & Er- langer will again stage Mr. Marcin’s ; farce, “Here Comes the Bride.” BY WAY OF DIVERSION. One time I wrote the Perfect Play. (Perhaps you've done it, too.) A dream of riches came my way, Aas dreams are wont to do, 1 typed my manuscript with care. No period was wrongly there, That it was drama rich and rare I positively knew, A manager at once I sought, Oh, he was very kind, I hada oA for him, I thought, for which the public pined, He said no doubt my play was great and, at some not far distant date, he'd Jt and decide its fate with clear, untrammelled mind. Next day the mail returned my ‘script with just @ Mttle note. It sald the story surely gripped. Quite feelingly he wrote that he was sorry he must state I'd brought the play to him too late. Al- ready he'd accepted eight. That mes- sage got my goat, Nine other man- agers | saw and each had some ¢x- cuse. Each turned me down with hi and haw, yet praised m: a punk and classed my p! junk, 1 thanked him; pt trunk and, quit with, “What's the use?” KARPE HAD NO DOG. Curt Karpe and Jack Houston, act- ors and members of the Green Itoom Cub, have enlisted to fight for tne United States. Karpe was born in Germany, but he is a naturalized American citizen and wants to serve : his adopted country to the best of his i] ability, When he went to the aead- uarters of the Thirteenth New York ment, National Guard, to enlist, he was asked for his naturalization papers. He wag prepared for such & request. Reaching in his pocket, he i » hand Sergeant a paper. ‘The lati ined it and turned It over ' to the Lieutenant. Both men ap- peared puzzled, Finally the Lieuten- t “Do you own a dog?” 4 “I used to, t not now,” replied pa no dogs are al-! lowed in the troupe.” Karpe, through a mistake, had handed the Sergeant an vld theacrival j contract. | THE COMPLETE HOME. Laura Hamilton, musical comedy actress, has a negro maid named Nancy. Recently Miss Hamilton leased a furnished apartment on the word of a friend that it was comfort- able. Then she sent Nancy up to seo it, The negro maid reported later that the place was very nice. “Any vermin in itr asked Miss iIton, y, Miss Laura,” replied Nancy, “don you worry ‘bout dat, Dey's evatheng in it, ah tells yoh—eva- theng.” MAE DID THIS. a A correspond: one of the Ma chorus, sends . who says she \s Once laugind A giowler Wosuih GOSSIP.
