Nothing Doing in the Fish Line
Some people insist that measuring,

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

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.

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. The
public wouldn’t never stand for a
play about a fish.”

widespread attention on the tremen

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

latter requires the consumption of
20.000. 000 tons of wood.
