Nothing Doing in the Fish Line Some people insist that measuring, class by class, the lowest order of human Intelligence in America la found among Key West sponge fisher­ men. Others hold that the group- place at the foot of the column prop­ erly belongs to a certain order of theatrical producers. As proof of the value of their contention they point to the story of the theatrical man­ ager, who, on being told that a play brought him by a certain dramatist was based upon one of Charles Dickens’ novels, said: "Well, you get hold of this fellow Dickens and bring him around to lunch tomorrow and we'll get his [ Ideas and fix up a contract.” | In the same connection there fre­ quently Is cited a remark by Wilton Lackaye who once expressed a de­ sire, which he said he feared would never be gratified, to play the part of Jean Valjean In a stage adapta­ tion of Hugo’s Les Miserable». A friend spoke up: "Isn’t there a manager In town who can produce It?" “There Isn’t a manager In town who can even pronounce It,” said Lackaye. Without any desire to take part In the controversy over the respective merits of the theatrical managers and the Key West sponge-fishers, I herewith submit, for what it may be worth, an Incident which happened a few months ago In the office of a prominent producing manager, whose name Is a household word In every actor's home. To him there came an experienced playwright bearing the script of a new piece which he bad Just finished. “ I don't want you should read ’ tt to me, now," said the manager. “Just tell me what It's like.” “ Well," said the playwright, “It’s a historical drama In five acts. I call It ‘The Dauphin.’ ” "For why do you call It that?” "Because It’s based on the story of the Lost Dauphin.” “ I don't want It,” said the manager emphatically. “It wouldn’t go.

Leverhulme Built Up Big Industry IN The passing of Lord Leverhulme. the great soap magnate, has focused widespread attention on the tremen­ dous dally output of that commodity from the works he founded at Port Sunlight. In 1886, when the firm’s first boiling of soap was made at the original fac­ tory at Warrington, the output was 20 tons a week. Now It is over 4,000 tons a week, necessitating the employ- meqt of 10,000 workers and the use of 10.000. 000 packing cases a year. The z latter requires the consumption of 20.000. 000 tons of wood.

I do not know whether that line of reasoning quieted Janet’s scruples, or whether the Joy 'o f being able to go to Lystrla smothered the cries of her conscience.
