. . : Clyde Fitch, during" the 18 years he
waa writing plays, made In rovnltlea
$1,600,000, or an average of over $80,000
i. year; Charier Klein, from 1900, when
. -' he made his first big killing with "The
v Lion and the Mouse," up to the present
time, has reeived in royalties $700,000,
or an average of $100,000 a year; J&mea
M. j JDarrle. who, until he dramatized
his -l.tttlo'Mtnlster" In 1898. did not
' know he could write a play, has been
paid In (royalties considerably over $3,-
' 000,000. or an average of $176,Q00 a year.
Charles Frohman paid him $500,000 in
royalties for "The kittle Minister
alone. Since then he must have received
. a good deal more than that for "Peter
Psn" and his other plays.
Barrie has probably made more money
' In less time at the play writing game
than any other dramatist now before
the public; yet had it' not been for a

I never have occurred to the .Scotch au

to the, year 1896 Barrie was known only

Vrhe Little Minister." This latest novel
had an extraordinary nale, but no one
saw In it any possibilities ' as a play
- until on 5ay a -scenario for a drama-
liiation of the book was submitted to
, the late A. Al tJalmer.
,; Never very enthusiastic about experi
ments, and prone to procrastination at
. .all times, Mr. Palmer was only mildly
.. , Interested. Jn view' of the novel's pop-
. ularlty, he conceded that there might
hi something In it for a play, but the
dramatization was unauthorized. First
he must set 1ft to communication with
the a u tli or Kc wrote to Barrie, asking
if he would allow the book to be dra-
1 matlied by another and how much he
wanted for the rights. Barrie replied
that he was willing to let tlie book be
' 'dfuniatixod and expressed himself as
vsorry that he could not ."take a hand
t It," himself. ...
. lie demanded the regular royalty and
the tisual advance.' Palmer "balked at
... these terms, and the ' negotiations
dragged along until Charles Frohnmn,
then Just beginning his meteoric career.
- got wind of the fact that there might
be a, play in the book for Maude Adams.
" Frohman is not the man to haggle over
terms when he wants anything. The
. cables got busy. Barrio was persuaded
to make his own dramatic version. The
j r?st in dramatic history. Produced by
Charles Frohman, "The Little Minister"
v"; had 8000 performances in America alone,
and netted in profits for the manager
at least $609,000.

' 'Bunty Pull the Strings," was an ob
scure actor earning only a meagre sal

eating championship in the Musha Bera
club, on the Bowery. Beefsteak gorges
were at that period the favorite func-

litical leanings, and many picturesque
characters gathered to see Dinnean win

" ready Irish wit. Dinnean held his place
en ,the east Hide. Fifteen years ago
he won a caae for six Chinamen ac

springing on the prosecution the sudden
query: "What is electricity?" None of
the learned gentlemen could answer, and
the celestials were acquitted." "They

of the "Jappyland" business season that
is to net for the Waverly Baby Homo

now running with the smoothness and
vim, of a professional production, and
it is freely predicted by all who have
been privileged, to witness the practice
of sotiga and dances at tho Hotel Mult

event will eclipse nil former undertau-
ings in the line of local amateur the

an additional element .will be the high
musical standard of the gay and . tune
ful operettk. Many vocal numbers, are
to be interpolated, and some of the belt
vocal talent of the city will appear in
the leading roles.
There are to be 20 different singing
and dancing: specialties, with rich, cos
tuming, in , the program, all woven to
gether in a fanciful plot centering about
the marriage of a Japanese emperor.
The "oriental , atmosphere will be given
to the whole Armory, which is to be
gaily decked out in wisteria, colore!
lanterns, and cherry blossoms. The
varlouB numbers will be presented by
from 5o to 100 men and maids, and the
big choruH and ensembles will be sung
by 600 voices.
Much interest is being taken in the
plans for "Klk night," which will be
Krlday, November 28, the second per
formance of "Jappyland," which will be
under the auspices of the local order
13. P. O. K. A feature of this event will
be the Interpolation of a brilliant apo
dal number, presented by 16 Elks and
their ladles. "Portland Belles and
Beaux in Panama," with Miss Nona
Lawler as the soloist. Prominent Elk
will act as ushers, candy-venders, etc.,
and the purple and white colors of the
order will ba . gaily blended with tho
oriental decorations. Details of the ex

secret by the Elk committee, and in
teresting surprises ;are promised.
Baby Home la Need,
Tiers of boxes will be built along the
sides of the Armory auditorium, and
a dozen of these have already been sold,
at-fancy figures, to prominent society
leaders. Mrs. Holt C. Wilson, chairman
t-f the advisory board, reports that con
tributions of many kinds are coming In
generously, so that the expenses of the
production will be kept at the minimum.
The Baby Home, which Is to be bene
fited by the proceeds, is very much in
need of several Improvements, most Im
portant of which is the Installation of
a modern heating system. The building,
at East Thirty-seventh and Ellsworth
streets, Is an -old one which has been
remodeled as conveniently 43 was pos
sible to the needs of the institution.
The old furnace, installed many years
ago, is worn out and useless, and stoves
are depended upon for keeping the big
rooms at a proper temperature for 60
little waifs who are being sheltered.
Mrs. D. C Burns, In charge of the in
stitution, Bays that the comfortable
heating and proper ventilation of the
place is almost Impossible with the
present facilities. A new furnace will
solve the greatest problem of the man
agement and be an-lmportant factor In
the difficult .task of carina; for the
children, many of whom are frail little
infants requiring the tenderest of care.
The Institution is conducted alonn
modern scientific lines, and the waifs
in Its charge are cared for by nursea,
under the- supervision of Dr. Joseph
Bilderback and Dr. James Rosenfeldt.
"Jappyland" will be given at the
Armory on the evenings of Thursday
and Friday, November 27 and 28, with
a Saturday matinee on November 29.
The Klk specialty - will be interpolated
in the program on Friday evening and
Saturday afternoon.
