How "PegMYna Sold
Was there ever a "big success" that
'every manager In New York" (except
tho fortunate gentleman whose press
agent speaks) didn't refuse? "Peg o
My Heart," which comes to Philadelphia
next week, Is no exception, nut thoro
wag at least some novelty In tho way
Hartley Manners finally sold fno piece to
Mr. Morosco. Hero Is tho olTlclal ver
sion! Mr. Morosco went to New York to see
"Tho Dlrd of Paradise," another of his
productions, and Mr. Manners asked to
do permitted to accompany tho producer,
Mr. Morosco was glad of the company.
'May I put a play In my grip?" Man
ners asked,
Mr. Morosco replied that It was very
hard on tho eyes to reafl on a train, but
Manners took tho ploy 'along. Mr. Mo
rosco recounts subsequent events In this
manner:
"Wo hadn't been traveling more than
half un hour when Manners fell aBleep.
There was little for me to do, so I took
out tho play and read It. I saw at once
that It was of exceptional c'naractcr
Manners slept nil the tlmo I was read
ing It, or nt least appeared to. Having
arrived at my decision I went to a writ
ing desk, penned a contract, wroto a
check for advance royalties, pinned It to
tho agreement, nnd, wnklng him up,
handed them to Manners. 11a wns
greatly surprised, nnd, Incidentally, very
much delighted, since nearly every New
York manager had turned the play
down."
Playwrltlng Is ono of the most popular
of professions, If wo may bellovo tho list
of 6.1,v00 dromaB which tho Library of
Congress has compiled and printed as n
comploto record of all dramatic copy
rights since 1S70.
Chicago doesn't seem very much
enamoured over "The Bubbles," a ptoco
with which Louis Mann Is strenuously
laboring.
"Tho Peasant Qtrl," which was so
pleasantly received here, makes her bow
to Broadway about March 1.
According to the wise ones of New
York, Dodson Mitchell will bo added to

explained by Miss Florence Leonard at
the sixth concert In the Young People's

Photoplay Editor, Eveninq Ledger,
Tho Motion Picture Exhibitors' Leaguo
of Pennsylvania has Bent tho following
letter to the Evening) Ledger on the
Question of censorship:
There is a great American principle
that Is tho fundamental underlying
force In tho entire American republic,
and that Is tho freedom of speech,
publication and religious liberty.
A moving plcturo Is nothing moro or
leas than tho publication of an Idea
or conception that Is published through
pictures Instead of through tho press,
and as such a legalized censorship
violates tho principle above referred
to and is obnoxious to any decent
American citizen, and especially re
volting to tho men engaged In tho
moving plcturo Business as n means
of livelihood, suggesting as It does
that they aro engaged in an Illegal
and moro or less Indecent business.
The unnecessary expenso that Is en
tailed by this totally unjust super
vision Is only to a slight degree less
In Importance than tho principle in
volved. Tho American people nro perfectly
capable of being their own censors,
nnd will quickly shov by their patron
age, or by their lack of patronnge,
their likes and dislikes.
We, therefore, ask you as ono Amer
ican citizen to another to remember

that over a century ago our fore
fathers left tho old world and bore
untold hardships and Inconvcnlonces
to establish In this unbroken wilder
ness n. colony which has tfrown In
prestige and enlightenment to the
glorious America of today. They bore
these hardships to enable them to
throw off tho yoke of censorship nnd
oppression that bound them hand nnd
foot In tho old world, and now at this
day shall it bo written that their sac
rifices wero In vain and their descend
ants, represented by you, shall seek.
to Impose the samo oppression ana
degradation on their fellow-men?
Wo ask your assistance and your
vote In repealing this obnoxious act
creating a State Board of Censors for
moving pictures, or, In fact, censor
ship In any form, as wo firmly bellevo
that tho pollco power of this great
Commonwealth and nation Is amplo to
regulate and prohibit anything that Is
Immoral or Indecent or which may
tend to corrupt the morals of the com

Edison Director John II. Collins, with
his customary lnslstanco on detail, has
put somo of his best work on "Tho MIs
blpn of Mr. Foo," a story of tho struggle
between tho old China and tho new re
public, with an underground setting. In
order to obtain real Chinese curios nnd
antiques, Mr. Collins has been holding
back tho production for about plx months.
Chinese curio shops wero searched and
tho Edison Japanese actor, T, Tamamato,
v,as enlisted In tho campaign for real
"atmosphere."
The result Is that Mr. Foo's Chlneso
homo. In the picture, presents a wonder
fully perfect Chlneso setting and Is more
of an nntlque shop than many shops
parading as such. Rare Chinese antiques
of red nnd black laquejed tables and
chairs In odd design, richly embroidered
dragons on hangings and tapestries, vases
