About Plays By BIDE 1 week we expressed surprise] } this column because at that! ime no playwright had come with a play written around & Since then we have been od by four stage authors that bootlegger has not been over- looked. Each has written a play on the subject and each hopes to see It produced. Ooo man named Koster, who does his writing in Brooklyn, has tne utmgt confidence in his brain- ehild, sh he calls ‘The Boot- jegger's 1." He writes: “T would inform you that IT have written a play called ‘The Bootleg- ger’s Girl,’ and am certain It will by a success, In it a young preacher does bootlegging on tho side, but does nat tell the girl he loves where he/ gwts his money to buy her candies and flowers. He {s found out and tried in court, but It turns out the a who is the father of the girl, | one of his customers, so the young man fs discharged. He marries the girl and they go to Oklahoma, where they raise a Jarge family@but ne does not seM any more liquor.” Fine! Now, we'd suggest that somebody write n play called “The Prescription.”” BARON TO TRY AGAIN. | Henrf Baron, who last season pro- duced his own adaptation of Porto- Riche's “Amoureuse” under the title of “The Tyranny of Love,” has ac- cepted for’ immediate production Edouard Bourtet’s oomedy “The Rubi- con.” Clifford Brooke will stage It.
