Instance of "unconscious cerebration"
on the part of two playwrights, and
preaent Indleatlone ere "that tt , nay
make aoma compllcatlona for a popular
American ectreae In thia eountry. ; This
la Maxlna Elliott," whoae plana hare all
been made, for , opening- at the London
Xyrlo jarlr In September, with a mw
luaaerby H. V. Esmond, and who now
Tu that thtrt .mt be another Dlece
on similar lines in me neia.
- At th outset, by wish of tho author
"Whan Wa were Twentjr-One," part lo
nlara ware made nubllo reaardlna bla
new piece for Misa Elliott, but recently
aa unexpeotea happening completely al
tered the situation. Tbla was the ex-
f lolt of Lady Arthur Groavenor, aunt of
he Duke of Westminster, who, aa the
cablea to America announced at tee
time, suddenly took- It Into he bead
to sample the life of the tipey and
forthwith set out through Oxrordahlre
In a caravan aa "Sarah Lee, Lloenaed
Hawker."
Now exactly auch a proceeding on the
part of a fair member of the Brltlah
arletooraey ' forme the theme of a-
mond'a play, wbicb le called "Under the
Greenwood Tree," Wandering about aa
a "simple mer," bis heroine encamps on
a oertaln baohelor aobleman'a eatate, la
surprised by the owner,-and the essen
tlal romance follows. . Naturally Es.

years aro. did not flesire to oe accused

Now for the second "coincidence,"
which Is not less surprising than the
first. Forward at once cornea an au
thoresa of note. Mrs. Margaret Wood,
with the announcement that over two
years ago aha commenced to write a
flay whose first act waa laid in a house
n Park Lane, and the other two In a
forest where the heroine wae caravan
ning. What is more. Mrs. Wood atatee
that her play haa not only been com
pleted, but accepted by a London man
agement, ao if the Esmond work la not
actually anticipated, to say nothing of
having a rival, both Miss EUlott and
the author may count themselves fortu
nate. Mrs. Wood, be It explained, brlnga
no charge of plagiarism against Es
mond; she wants only to avoid having
auch a charge brought against her by
the dramatist whoae plot haa been first
to get Into the papers. Meanwhile the
rival pieces, should both be produced,
will have no more Intereeted spectator
than Lady Arthur Groavenor herself,
whose caravanning tour waa brought to
an and recently by the parloue state of
the English 'summer." I have not
been able to Interview ' Maxlna Elliott
on the buMmL thm Vatreea belnr OU
of London at nruitnt but the obvious
move for ber Is to arrange to begin her
season at the Lyric earlier man iut na

anger of what In the newspaper world
la known as being "scooped."
