Oliver Morosco has written a letter
for publication. It answers directly a
great many letters that are written to
this department asking for information
about plays, and play writing. Mr.
Morosco'a New York address is Long'
acre building,- Forty-second and Broad
way. His Los Angeles address is Bur
bank Theater. Hia letter follows:
"To People Who Write; and to Peo
ple Who Act: I want plays of youth.
I believe that the artistic taste of the
American public is the healthiest in
the world, and therefore I am search
ing only for those plays which are
clean, wholesome and sweet In com
edy, I have faith only in those com
edies whose humor is essentially in the
characters and their situations; com
edies not devoid of dramatic situation
and incident; comedies not cold and
glittering, but those in which smiles
and laughter are intermingled with
tears and heart-throbs human com
eties. "I desire to correspond with profes
sional people of energy, originality and
ambition. I want youthful people for
youthful parts, providing they have a
certain amount of experience.
"I want to find another author who
can unveil sunshine and laughter and
love as J. Hartley Manners unveiled
them when he wrote 'Peg o' My
Heart," which the art of Laurette Tay
lor has made the most successful com
edy in the world.

J. Hartley Manners, author of "Peg

tagu" fo vaudeville production by
Frank Kemble Cooper, of the John
Drew Company.
J. Hartley Manners is married to
Laurette Taylor, who made "Peg o' My
Heart famous for Oliver Morosco.
Robert Wayne, heavy man with the
Baker Players last season, has been
engaged by the Lieblers for the role of
Potiphar in "Joseph and His Breth
ren." Ernest George Montague Shipman,
of San Francisco, better known to his
friends as Ernie, theatrical manager
and former husband of Roselle Knott,
an actress, admitted yesterday at his
New York office, 110 West Fortieth
street, that he had been one of the
principals in a marriage which took
place one Thursday afternoon in North
Bergen, N. J. Mr. Shipman married
Helen Foster Barham, formerly a
leading woman in one. of his companies,
and more recently a writer of film
scenarios, vaudeville sketches and oth
er things for the stage under the name
of Nell Shipman. The manager said
yesterday that he had merely married
his wife over again. And thereby
hangs a tale.
"In 1909," he said, "I went West
and- obtained a divorce in California.
Then I married Helen Foster Barham
out there. That was in 1910.
"My lawyer. Thomas McMahon, told
me that my California divorce might
not be recognized here in New York.
"Of course, you understand, we con
sidered my California divorce entirely
legal and our wedding out there abso
lutely regular. However, it was such
a simple thing to be married over again
that we Just went over to Jersey and
had another ceremony."

Definite moves are being made to
ward the carrying- out of the contract
which Eugene Walter signed in San
Francisco recently' with J. D. Williams,
of Sidney, to form a company for Aus
trail a to be seen . In a repertoire of
Eugene Walter's plays.
Mr. Walter, who Is to recruit the
company in New York, will begin en
gaging as soon as Williams sends
enough money from Australia to guar
antee expenses. The two men m are to
conduct operations on a sharing basis.
Forty weeks will probably be the sea
son. Mrs. Walter, who is Charlotte I
Walker, will be seen next season in a
dramatization of Jack London's story,
"The Valley of the Moon." Mr London
will collaborate with Eugene Walter
in preparing the stage version.

An eye witness to the drowning of
the two children of Isadora Duncan
in FaTis last April was describing the
horror of that distressing scene the
other day.
"And the saddest thing about It all
was that those little lives could have
been saved just as well as not," he
said. "It Is almost difficult to breathe
in Paris without a permit from the of
ficials. Guards are everywhere on duty
and they must be notified and a per
mit to act obtained in cases of accident
or trouble of any kind. On the day
these children were drowned at the
very moment, in fact, two men, see
ing the car plunge over the banks of
the Seine, attempted to Jump in after
It They could have opened the doors
and released the prisoners, who would
have risen immediately to the surface.
