M- H. gave a talk the value of publicity for the activities pf the organization, About Jane Grey. Back of Jane Grey's performance In "The Skin Game." at. the Bilon Miss Grey being Chloe, the daughter of the house of Hornblower in that Galsworthy play Is a long experleno In the theater. Miss Grey has to her credit a serle of characterizations ln a wide variety of roles.

It waa with David Belasco'a production of "la Matrimony a that Miss Grey iirst made htr' presence felt In the theater hereabouts. As the Lulu Wheeler of that comedy Miss Grey arrived Broadway. Her success ln this piece was followed by an even more substantial one when jihe originated the role of Flora Dallas ln that other Belasoo production, "The Concert." She scored again when she originated the role of Mollle Hewes opposite John Barry-more in "Kick In." In "The Con- splracy" also Miss Grey was very much among those present. A native of Vermont and educated in that State. Miss Grey crossed the continent before she went on the stage.

From Mlddlebury. Vt. to Los Angeles is a far cry, and yet Miss Grey negotiated the several thousand Intervening miles before she first faced the footlights as a professional. The occasion was the presentation of "The, Rose of the Rancho," by the Belasco Stock Company In Los Angeles. Miss Grey appeared with the Belasco Stoek Company for some time, and following that, engagement played' with other stock- organizations tn Columbus, Providence, and with the celebrated company which 'flourished mightily at Elltcji's Gardens In Denver.

-The result was a deal of vat-uable experience, and thus eqlpped she came to New York to score her first success ln "Is Matrimony a Failure?" Miss Grey's last abearance here abouts was opposite Leo Dltrlchstetti in "The Marquis de? Priola." When William Archer Wrote a Play With Bernard Shaw. "The Green Goddess," the modern play of adventure by William Archer In which George ArlLss is appearing at the Booth Theater, la not the first play at which Mr. Archer tried his hand. His first playwrlting attempt was in collaboration with the then unknown playwright, George Bernard Shaw unknown as a playwright but already a -critical force ln the theater to be reckoned with and something ot a novelist. This was in 1885.

It would, perhaps, be near- the mark to say that Mr. Archer furnished the plot of a play to Bernard Shaw. The latter, according to Mr. Archer, used up all of his material for a full-length play in two acts and the drama came to a sudden standstill. The author of "The Green Goddess" then washed his hands of the entire affair, according.

to Mr. 8haw's own account offthe collaboration published ln his preface to "Widowers' Houses," the play in question, when he raked It out of a pigeonhole. in 1892, added a third act and passed lt over to the. Independent Theater, which, in the three years of Its existence, had found- no play by a native British dramatist to perform. Here are some of Mr.

Shaw's remarks concerning the "Mr. Archer has himself described how I proved the most impossible of collaborators. Laying violent hands on his thoroughly planned scheme for a sympathetically romantic 'well-made play' of the type then in vogue, I perversely distorted lt into a grotesquely realistic exposure of slum landlordism. municipal iobberr and the pecuniary and matrimonial ties between It and the pleasant people of 'independent Incomes who Imagine that such sordid matters do not touch their own lives. The result was most horribly Incongruous, for, though I took my them seriously enough, I did not then take the theater more seriously, though I took lt more seriously than it took Itself.

Mr. Archer, perceiving that I had played the fool both with his own plan and my own theme, promptly disowned me, and the proj ect, which neither of us had much at heart, was dropped, leaving me with two abortive acts of an unfinished and condemned Widowers' Houses was produced with great success and launched Mr. Shaw into his highly picturesque and successful playwrlting career. Mr. Archer did not again try his hand at writing a play until the war was more than hulf over.

He then wrote a drama called "War Is War," which was about to be produced in England when the armistice was signed and it was Considered best not to produce the drama. Still later he wrote the present play. The Green Goddess," more akin in spirit to the novels of Robert Louis Stevenson than to the dramas of Ber-nardShaw. It was submitted to Wln-throp Ames, with whom the author waa already well acquainted, and Mr. Ames at once decided to produce it Maxli Notes.

Leslie Austen, leading man for Madge Kennedy In "Cornered," re ceived on. an average of 200 mash notes a week when he played In pic tures. His mash mall on the speaking stage Is less, though last year with Ethel Barrymore in ha once received 105 requests in a week for 'photographs. But that no record, admits Aus ten. known fellows whose letters numbered 2,000 a week.

"It's no fun being a matinee favor ite. The' girls who write you letters only want your picture or an autograph for their album. Sometimes they invite you to call, but you know If you accepted they'd never receive you; or if they did you'd be expected to sip tea and make stage faces. The part you play has a lot to do with the letters you get. Last season on the stage ln 'Five I played a chap who was shut up in an asylum and as long as the engagement lasted I got' very few requests for photographs and not a single Invitation to tea." In "Cornered" Mr.

Austen Plays a young New York club man, who Is both handsome and heroic and this is the reason he maintains, that last, season's lack of pink perfumed envelopes ln his theater mall Is now made up by a streaming supply. In addition to Maurice Browne's duties as director of Margaret Analln's production of "The Iphlgenia" ut tho Manhattan Opera House on Anril 4. he Will be in complete charge of the lighting effects for the entire production. Instead of the complicated arrangement for reflecting light now in' use, -Browne -intends to employ dish pans bought in the 6 and 10 cent "Ordinary tin dish- pans are not only the most adequate reflectors," according to Mr, Browne, "but they give greater brilliancy and luminosity to a scenio errect than any other medium generally employed on the stage." The only case on record where a man is tho general understudy for the entire company Is that of Joseph Spurln in "The Broken Wing" nt the 48th Street Theater. He Is ready to jump into the breach in any par, whether It is that of a man or a wom an.

Mr. Spurln was born on the Island of Malta and his first theatrical experience was gained In an opera company tnat gave a perrormance every month for the delectation 01 the British soldiers and sailors sta tioned on the Island. Mr. Spurln, be fore coming to America; was with the British Transport Service for three years. He made his American debut on the stage in "Have A Heart." The Greenwich Village Follies.
