"ttlAnl.ES HOrivINS, one tlmo rhllndel-
OphlMi nnd now proprietor of one of New
yct)Cb "little theatres, ine i-uncn unajuuy,
kd longed to see "Treasure Island" as a

breathless tale or ouccaneers nnu ounea
mid. Two pprlngB ngo, while cnstlng about
for a P'ay for the I,unch n,ld J'"1. he
culled the Stevenson story. Hero was a
j1y as full of thrills, daring escapades,
dramatic struggles and ' surprise as a
baker's dozen of melodramas of nowadays.
And here, too, were heroes beloved of every
youthful heart from the urchin to tho grny
btlred professor yes, and the protessor's
wife as well. Mr. Hopkins was Inclined to
ttlleve a world-wide audience was already
wilting for the curtain to go up on "Treai
ure Island."
He began to wonder why It had so far
escaped the producer's nand. An associate
he consulted could think of no reason ex
cept that it did not contain tho usual lovo
Interest. So Mr. Hopkins Immediately cot
In touch with tho ltobert I.ouls Stevenson
tstato, now represented by J.loyd Osbourne.
From Mr. Osbourne ho learned why the
Stevenson story had not been produced as
a, play. Many had made overtures for tho
privilege, but no ono had cared to make the
commercial ventuio when ho had learned
the requirements of the estate. All of theso
prospective producers had argued lone with
Mr. Osbourne, but to. no purpose, for. ns
Mr. Osbourne says, when "Treasure Island"
Is under discussion ho feels that ho is some
thing mora than mero legatee.
"rv l.lnvd Osbourne. an American eentlc-
,. man. In accordance with whose classic taste
the following narrative nas neen designed,
It Is now. In return for numerous delightful
hours, and with kindest wishes, dedicated
by his affectionate friend, the nuthor."
So runs tho dedication In tho printed
rolumes of the story, nnd thos who are
familiar with tho prefaco recall Stevenson's
account of how he came to write the moving
tale for "a school boy, homo for tho holt,
days, and much In want of 'something
craggy to break his mind upoji.' " Tills
school boy was Lloyd Osbourne.
However, Mr. Osbourno was very anxious
that "Treasure Island" be put upon the
boards If It could be dono In the spirit of
the book, and Anally he and Mr. Hopkins
came to an agreement, not before many
telegrams had been passed, nnd many mote
letters.
Mr. Hopkins selected Jules Kckert Good
man to make tho dramatization and accord
ing to the New York reviewers nothing of
the text was sacrificed, except those por
tions which would not lend themselves to
dramatic structure. The feelings of that
portion of the population which shudders
when liberties aro taken with their literary
pets has been taken Into consideration, The
aim was to present "Treasure Island" as
Stevenson would have written It had he
been playwright too.
The four nets and six scenes which the
audience at the Broad will boo Monday will
Include the "Admiral Bcnbow" Inn, the
quay at Bristol, tho deck of tho treasure
ahlp Itlspanlola. Treasure Island, the Stock
ade, Spyglass Mountain and Bcnn Gunn's
cae. The bold flaro of colors In the pirates'
garb, aa Stevenson wroto of them, will mark
the costuming, Kverythlng,. It Is promised,
will be done to preserve tho atmosphere nnd
favor of tho story, even to "Captain Flint,"
the gaudy parrot who shrieks his "pieces
of eight, pieces of eight."

Here we have the producer of "Intolerance," now in its last weeks at
the Chestnut Street Opera House, dircctinR a binlseyo view in the spec
tacular sun-play from a captive ballon. It was thus that he obtained
the splendid flashes of the mile-long hall of Bclshnzzar.
tho play Osbourne wroto under dato of
September 12 from Gilroy, Cal.. regretting
his lnahlllty to leave his "llttio mountain
ranch":
"An interesting fact In regard to 'Treas
uro Island' Is that It was the turning point
In It. L. S.'s literary life. Up to that time
his books, though greatly praised by crit
ics, never sold beyond the first edition of
700 or 800 copies Indeed, three of them
were so little valued by their publisher that
for a lump sum of J250 Stevenson bought
back the copj rights of 'Vlrglnlbus Puerls
Que,' 'Traels with a Donkey," nnd tho
Inland Voyage books that subsequently
earned tens of thousands. As a boy I used
often to ask hlni why ho did not write
something 'Interesting.' I remember It be
ing thought quite a Joke my Inability to
read his books
"As most people know, 'Treasuro Island'
was directly Inspired by a small map I
drew as a boy When the map was finished
It I. H. happened to lean over my shoulder,
and added, tremendously to my delight nnd
not a little to his own. the crossed for
burled treasure and the delicloiisly romantic
names now so well known Then ho said
enthusiastically 'I II hne to wrlto a storv
all about if And I said. 'Yes, something
really interesting who it was that burled
the treasure and why tho little Island was
called Skeleton Island and not like your
other books." And he said: 'Oh, no
nothing so stupid or tiresome, but full of
pirates and burled trensuro and tho things
everybody likes!'
"These were not the exact words, hut
I can remember tho gist of that conver
sation as though It were yesterday, nnd
StecnFon'.s eager, mantling, whimsical
face Tlie next day I was electrified to
have tho first chapter read nloud to me
the first chapter of "my" book. The oth
ers followed In almost dally succession.
That tho book was marketable or had any
future outside tho family circle did not
occur to It, I j. S until u considerable time
afterward Yet this was tho beginning of
his success, the actual turning point in his
literary life."

AVERY IS STILL
SLENDER, BUT
NOT SAD
It was about ten years ago that a pa-thetlo-looklng
young man got off an ex
press train In Jersey City from Cleveland,
O. Ho was ery tall, very blond nnd pale
nnd disconsolate, and an absolute stranger
In tho big city. He had saved up a few
dollars after several years of hard work
ns a reporter on thei Leader, ono of the
papers in tho Ohio city, and theso savings
he had Immediately Invested In a hall bed
room nnd a typewriter. He got to work
and mndo four carbon copies of a play
which ho had brought with hlni. nnd which
he fondly hoped would create a sensation
and bring hlni fame and fortune. After
making four carbon copies of tho play he
sent It to four managers nt onre William
A Brady, ono of the managers who re
ceded it, wired his ncceptanco. This play
was "Clothes," nnd Brady wanted it for
his wife. 'Grace George. Tho nuthor was
Aery Hopwood.
Oh. yes, these things happen, and this In
cident can bo verified by Hopwood himself
He Is still tall, but not quite so thin and
no longer pathetic. "Clothes'" made money
for everybody connected with It. even the
nuthor Ho kept on writing plavs, some
of them successes and some of them not.
but he struck, nil things considered, a good
nverage. HIh "Seven Days." which he wrote
In collaboration, was tho first of tho year
run type of farce. Xow, when he sends In
a farco to n manager, that manager first
verifies the signature, reaches for n con
tract blank, saya "Flno' immense! Hern's
the placo to sign '" nnd It Is nil over except
to draw tho royalties "Fair nnd Warmer,"
the latest from Hopwood's pen, which Is
now nt the Garrlck Theatre, Is perhaps
tho biggest success ho has ever had, at
least from the viewpoint of royalty returns,
It ran nil last season In New York city,
nnd this year Messrs. Selwyn nnd Company,
who hold the rights of Jt, have no fewer
than six companies, playing the farco In
different parts of tho country.

In tho very large cities.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chi
cago are "about all" for the speaking
drama, and the number two, three ana
four companies are done for and might ai
well bo forgotten.
This being tho case, It Is not much of an
object to a manager to take the long
chances that go with making .a first-class
production. Pretty much everybody knows
that three-quarters of the profits of a big
success have always been derived from
"the road." Now that there Is no "road,"
the percentage against the producing man

against a brace game.
There aro various reasons for this situa
tion. In the first place, chicken's teeth
are a dense crowd as compared with good
plays. In the second, nobody can hold an
original cast of really desirable actors and
actresses together, and noVart of the coun
try will stand for substitutes. Then, too.
a production that has been banged around
on the railroads for a little while becomes
rusty, and the leading lady's gowns after
being packed and unpacked and dragged
over dirty stages for any length of time
Inevitably lose their freshness.
This la where the motion .pictures com
In They always have the original cast,
the scenery Is ever aplck and span and
the dresses Just from the modiste's atelier.
The temptation to a producing manager
tn go Into the movies Is strong. He may
work for a long tlmo and spend a ton of
money on a stage production, and sell It
perhaps, If he puts the same care, energy
and producing reputation, with a little mora

acll it sure.
