So great Is the demand for radium in the treatment of cancer and various malignant diseases, that a movement is now on foot for withdrawing it as much as possible from the manufacturer of luminous dials and other candle power standard for illuminat tres going, Mrs. Harris operating them as the Henry B. Harris estate. She now produces under her own name and she owns the Hudson and Fulton Theatres, having just recently sold the Harris Theatre. She and her brother-in-law both make their offices in the Hudson Theatre.

William Harris, when he first began to produce plays, did it on a less extensive scale than his brother, preferring to do only a few and giving them his personal attention. One of his most notable contributions to the American stage was "The Yellow Jacket." He also put on "Twin mislaid or destroyed, when the supply of the element becomes so widely distributed that the chances for recovering it would be slight.

His father, William Harris, was one of the original important theatre-owners in days when producers were looked upon as mere promoters, the "solid" men being those who actually held the theatres. Mr. Harris was interested in the Klaw and Erlanger enterprises, which controlled houses in Boston, New York and Chicago. Charles Frohman was also interested in this powerful combination, these four men being the most important figures.

Then when Mr. Frohman be-' gan to produce on a large scale, the others often took interest with him, so that Mr. Harris was often a silent partner in Frohman productions.

He went to Columbia University and then went abroad to study and travel. He lived in Paris and met many of the leading figures in art and literary circles. He was just returning to America when he received word of the tragic death of his brother when the Titanic sank in the 'North Atlantic. Affairs of Henry B.
