t i { and Players By BIDE DUDLEY UST to-day we were wondering what bad become of Cleves Kin- kead, the young man who wrote “Common Clay," in which Jane ‘Cow! appeared about four years ago. ‘We hadn't seen Cleves and his green tie on Broadway for a long time, and we often wondered if he hadn't mar- ried and settled down in vomo little ham-and-egglet far from the madden- ing throng of the Great Dry Way. To-day we received some tidings of him. It appears he hay been writing a play called “Your Woman and Mine,” which has been produced by Lee Kugel, and will go into the Kiaw Theatre next Monday.

Keanney, Louis Fierce, Frank Eckhardt, Barton Marbourgh, Dan Pennell and Royal C. Stout. So, you see, Cleves will soon be of Broad- way again. TO PLAY “GUIBOUR.” Mme.

NUTT’S DOPE. “Dear Dudd," writes Jefferson Shrewsbury Nutt, “I and the wife have written @ song called ‘Say It With Bootleggers,’ which Is making a hit out here in Bogasp, It has! a line which goes, ‘To gat cocktails on the table bootleg makes us not unable.’ The wife sang it at a church social here last night and everybody | fald it is as good us the songs of, Ernie Berlin.

Much excitement, bet could learn nothing.—Jeff.” PETERSON ESCAPES. Lonis Dohmer of Astoria, L. L, writes as follows; “I saw ‘Bull Dog Drummond’ with a friend recently, and there is a difference of opinion between us as to how the play endr. T interpret it that Peterson really gets away from Drummond by a clever ruse, while. my friend claims that, since good must always triumoh over evil jn melodrama, Drummond merely tricks Phyllis into declaring per love ‘Dy pretending Peterson has escaped upd that the chase is to begin anew. We would appreciate your opinion jn the matter.” . ‘You shall have it. Peterson does’ get away from Drummond ot the end by a clever ruse, But after a!l, why Bot?) Drummond entered upon his adventures with this gang of crooks as w lark, and it brings a lark finish to have the hero himself, after trick- ing the villains at their own game, fall for the simplest kind of a ruse. Larkington is contemptible and his death is as it should be. But Peter- son is admirable even as a villain, ana nobody wants to think he is) trundled off to jail while Drummond and Phyllis are starting on their! Boneymoon. HARRIS SHOWS NEIGHBORS.
