MARTIN BUSY ON HER NEW PLAY Author of "Erstwhile Susan" Is Now Dramatizing "Her Husband's Purse" MRS. HELEN R. MARTIN Mrs. Helen R. Martin, author of "Barnabetta," "Her Husband's Purse," "The Crossways," and "Tilly, the Men nonlte Maid," as well as various other stories of the Pennsylvania Dutch is •busy dramatizing "Her Husband's Purse." Mrs. Martin's clever novel, "Barna bettu" was dramatized last year by Marlon De Forest Into "Erstwhile Susan," and with Mrs. Flske playing the title role la a most wonderful suc cess. Mrs. Martin is a native of Lancas ter county, and is quite naturally Inti mately acquainted with that country, the people and their customs. "Those Fltzenbergers" Appear In an interview the author an nounced that her latest book, "Those Fltzenbergers," relative to the quulnt and queer "Dutch People," will be published In the Spring, and asserted that the criticism of her characters being exaggerated is not at all plaus ible. Mrs. Martin said In part: "The public has been so accustomed to my work among the folks of Lan caster county, that It would be al most impossible for me to enter any other Held. Next spring my latest work in this line, 'Those Fltzenberg ers,' will be published. "There have been many criticisms that the characters In 'Erstwhile Su san' are exagget-ated and overdrawn. As a matter of fact I underwrite rather than overwrite. I admit that I take extreme types—a type that is passing. Those who resent the type I depict are not the people themselves, because they don't read anything and do not know, perhaps of the book or the play. But It is their descendants, who have been educated, who feel that I don't do them Justice. "Every day of my life," she said, "I hear stories confirming my works by persons who formerly lived In the places of which I write, and yet I am accused by some of exaggeration."
