Pdoomington, Illinois. A unique sun has been bled by Charles Wil son, (if lie W itt, arainst Polly Ann licity enough and to spare, but on- pharcs to recover the family Bi ly after the tinsel and glitter have 1 ble the defendant claims is hers been pui on. The methods of ap- i by right of long possession. plying the same are not so well known. The author in his hours of tra vail, evolving through the efforts of his brain a dramatic creation, is a figure that is nearly always kept well in the background. Usually we know him only as a name. Upon the stage director rests the responsibility of production wiih all of its onerous details and worries is seldom heard of beyond being mentioned on the program. Ariists, scene builders, property men and cleciricians, submerged bin potent factors of dramatic suc cess, what of them? And the ac ini's, glorying in the finished per fection of their perfect characteri zations, how Ihile they care to be seen with the glory rubbed off actually working ! W hen Mr. Dixon decided to dramatize his great novel, he plung ed into the work with characteris tic energy and determination. Contrary to the popular notion, playwrights are decidedly not born ; they are made or make them selves as the case may be. Mr. Dixon had studied play wrighting. He went to a school, in fact, and took a course in it. And he was already a successful novelist, one of the best! He read everything he could get his hands on that related to the art of play making, and asked questions by the score of every one supposed to know something about it. His position in the literary world help ed a lot with the questions because people look time to tell him what he wanted to know. Finally Mr. Dixon decided to test the result of his studies. He made a play. It swept the country. It was "The Clansman." Then he wrote another play and afterwards made ii a novel. "The Sins of the Father," was success ful both ways. So he approached the task of dramatizing his famous book "The Leopard's Spots," with the added asset of confidence. It w as no easy job, in fact it was quiie some considerable under taking. If you don't believe ihat try your own hand on a "Bestseller" some fine day. But hard woik and knowledge will triumph over the greatest difficul ties, and Mr. Dixon used both lav ishly. (We almost wrote it slav ishly, which wouldn't be far out of the way,) and in the end "The Leopard's Spots" became a play, j He submitted the completed! manuscript lo his critics with fear ; and trembling. (An author always does that.) But the apprension vanished when ihey approved it, ; with criticisms and suggested . changes of course and said it was j a great play the author's best yet. ; Then came the work of organ , izing a company. j , When a manager desires io do ; ; this he tells me aramanc agencies ' that he wants actors, just whai , kind, type, shape, height, color, etc., and forthwith the actors begin to apply, each with a little slip of I introduction from the agent, upon i the stub of which he has signed an ; agreement io pay the agency half of his first week's salary, or five . per ceni. for len weeks if engaged. Mr. Dixon, who is his own man ager, sent out such a call and the ' histrions came to his office in droves. Day after day ihey filled the out er room and held overflow meet ings in thelliall. Most of ihose who applied to Mr. Dixon didn't meet his requirements ai all, and these he sent away in mutual dis appoiniment. Some there were who might do and io them he grained hope, promising further consideration. And on rare occas ions, oh very rare, into his office walked the very one lie was look ing for who was signed for on the spot, immediately and forthwith. Bui at last the casi was tilled. On a certain date the recruits were assembled, their typewritten parts given out and Mr. Dixon read the play to them, giving each a practical demonstration of how his character should be porirayed. Then the stage director look charge of the proceedings and the rehearsals be gan, io coniinue For a month. At last ihis hexierogeneous mass ol matters was welded inio a con glomerate whole and ihe play was ready to be "put on." Suppose after all this work and worry, this lime and money spent the play shouldn't "get over." Suppose the public did't like it! Oh frabjous joy, wouldn't you have just loved to have been Thomas Dixon then. For him on the first night being all the law and the profits. But glory be, "The Leopard's Spots" goi over. It was a big success. Gentle reader, in conclusion and FOL'R OIRLS ARE KILLED PREPARINU FOR WEDDINU. Budapest, Hungary.
