As a matter fact. I have bean play making for a slightly longer period than thirty years, having produced ta England a couple of on act play and a dramatised versl a novel. collaboration, prior ta th presentation Captala Swift at the Haymarket Theatre, Loo-don, in the early days of Beerbohm Tree's management of tnat ha.

As I regard the earlier experiments as negligible, I am accustomed to look upon the production of "Captain wlft," June SO. 188. as th initiation ex any long connection wit the stage. Th emphatic success of that production makes this natural. Every play, particularly every soo- eesaful play, has its wa personal his tory, and when look back upon the productions that have mad I find I oswld writ a lengthy story ta each eas oc th way ta which ta Idea th piay occurred to ma of what happeaa dar ing th writing It, hew It earn reach Its final destine Hon, and of Its subsequent career.

do not propoee. wlthla th llmita of this article, writing th story of each venture, which might be as wearisome to th reader as to myself, but think It would be interesting If I related briefly th pei sonal history of my first and of my last plajr.

On day. when walking ta the neighborhood of the Hay market Theatre. I encountered Beerbohm Tree.

We were slightly acquainted and we stopped to speak. After a short dlacuaalon on th weather, be fixed me with his pale blue ey and asked me why didn't write him a play. As my experience of stage writing had been so slight and uneventful, I found this a somewhat startling proposition. It immediately occurred to that this only meant the exercise of on of his many maanerlsma determined, however, to take him seriously, and. although I had never written or attempted to writ a four-act play.

Then I began haunt th stag door of th Haymarket. and. to cut a long story short. ran Tree to ground on day and secured an appointment for a reading the following afternoon.

I kept my appointment, but th elusive Tree did not. He had gone to th Leicester Square Turkish Batha Thither followed him, and In th hot room and th cooling room read him my play. Tre was pleased and promised a production, but three day later difficulties aroe. I was talking with Tre la his offlos at th theatr on afternoon when his stag manager cam in and threw a manuscript which recognised on th table. "Well, what do you think of It?" asked Tre.

Rotten 1- replied old Hastings, who at that time was th moat experienced stag manager In London. I must explain that Hastings did net know me by sight. A little later Comyns Carr. whom was then ale a stranger, but who afterward became one of my dearest friends, denounced the work in my presence with equal brevity and version. Tre turned his blue eyes a with a touch of pity, and formed his pal eyebrows into a note of latsrrogatlosv rose with what dignity could command, seised my manuscript, and pro-pared make aa salt; but it appeared that Tree's belief in the play was not wholly shaken, or at any rats his belief ta himself m.

"Don't go. my dear feUow." hs said, asd then, turning to Carr, What about a matinee, JoT Carr relented, and a trial matin's was arranged for th ZPth at th tsHswlsg month-June.
