ULES ECKERT GOODMAN
RENCHISTANDARD
HOTEL UNIVERSE
Play without intermission by Philip Barry. Produced
originally by the Theatre Guild at the Martin Beck The-
atre, New York. 5 males, 4 females, i exterior scene. Mod-
ern costumes.
One of the most striking and original plays ever written by an
American, and on the occasion of its production in New York it
aroused heated controversy. It is the most ambitious and brilliant play
Mr. Barry has ever attempted, and is concerned with the baffling
problems which every adult human being is at some time forced to
face. The characters seem hardly to exist at all in relation to other
people, which is surely the reason why Mr. Barry discovered (some-
what as Chekov discovered) that to invent a plot for them would be
to deprive them of the kind of reality he was after. These people are
essentially introspective, centripetal, literally self-seeking. And what
are they after? Just an answer to the question that every thinking
human being must ask himself and vainly: What is life? What is
death? Where are we going, and why? What is the meaning of past,
present and future? Published only in bound form.
"A glittering play of unreality and magic to quicken the pultei and
itir the minds . . ." Richard Lockridge, N. Y. Sun.
(Royalty on application.) PRICE $2.00 per copy (in cloth).
THE FARMER'S WIFE
Comedy in 3 acts. By Eden Phillpotts. Produced origi-
nally by Charles Coburn in New York City. 9 males, 13
females. 2 interiors. Modern costumes.
This delightful comedy of English people was one of the long run
successes in London before coming to New York. The story is concerned
with Samuel Sweetland, a Devonshire farmer and a widower, who de-
cides to marry again. Aided and abetted by his housekeeper, Araminta,
he makes out a list of the various eligible women in the county and pro-
poses to them in turn. But they all refuse him, and in the end he finds
at home, in Araminta, the one woman.
(Royalty on application.) PRICE 77 CENTS.

The story of " Treasure Island " is so well known
that only a brief resume need be indulged in here
to freshen everybody's memory, and how can this
be done half so well as in the words of the im-
mortal little hero, " Jim " Hawkins :
" Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of
these gentlemen having asked me to write down
the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from
the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but
the bearings of the island, and that only because
there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my
pen in the year of grace 17 , and go back to the
4 TREASURE ISLAND.
time when my father kept the ' Admiral Benbow '
Inn, and the brown old seaman, with the sabre cut,
first took up his lodging under our roof.
" I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he
came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest follow-
behind him in a hand-barrow ; a tall, strong, heavy,
nut-brown man; his tarry pigtail falling over the
shoulders of his soiled blue coat; his hands ragged
and scarred, with black, broken nails ; and the sabre
cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white, I remem-
ber him looking round the cove and whistling to
himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that
old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards :
* Fifteen men on the dead man's chest
Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum.' "

glad you came he's got all the people round here
so afraid they'll hardly come to the inn any more

DR. LIVESEY. In spite of my warning that it
would kill him, he's been drinking, eh?
TREASURE ISLAND. g
MRS. HAWKINY. (Sits) Oh, yes, sir drinking
and singing that horrid song and blowing his nose
so loud, sir, it sounds like the report of a cannon
(As DR. LiVESEY smiles) You may laugh but I
never knew a man to put such fierceness into the
blowing of his nose. And when I asks him for
money, sir why why that's when he blows his
nose the loudest.
DR. LIVESEY. I dare swear he owes you for his
lodgings.
MRS. HAWKINS. That he does, sir. Oh, I appeal
to you as magistrate he's ruining me, sir ruining
me ! (Placing chair c.)
DR. LIVESEY. Mrs. Hawkins Squire Trelawney
and I have been watching your lodger for some
time.
MRS. HAWKINS. (Mysteriously) He's given Jim
a silver penny every month to keep his eye open
for a sea- faring man with one leg!
DR. LIVESEY. Ah, has he now !
MRS. HAWKINS. And that's the worst of it the
influence he has over my boy
DR. LIVESEY. Jim's a good boy, I'll be bound
MRS. HAWKINS. That he is, sir. Jim's the best
boy in the world. The Captain is filling his head
with stories you should have heard the stories as
he told about that boat (Indicates picture over
mantel)
DR. LIVESEY. (Looks at picture and reads title)
Flint's Treasure Ship.
MRS. HAWKINS. He's got the boy so worked up,
with his horrid tales of pirates and sea fights and
treasure hunting that the lad is fair bewitched with
the idea of going to sea and Oh, sir (Rise)
He's all I have. I want my money but I don't want
my boy in his company. (Puts chair back to table)
DR. LIVESEY. I think I can promise you both,
Mrs. Hawkins Squire Trelawney is to meet me
\here to-night
I
io TREASURE ISLAND.
MRS. HAWKINS. Oh, sir, I hope there isn't going
to be any fighting
DR. LIVESEY. Can you keep a secret, Mrs.
Hawkins ?
MRS. HAWKINS. As close as the grave, sir
DR. LIVESEY. You can, eh? Come here to the
window (As she starts to the window) No, it's
so foggy you can't see but there's a little lugger
down at Kitt's Hole I suspect that's the boat our
friend is looking for
MRS. HAWKINS. What what is it?
DR. LIVESEY. (Confidentially) Smuggler
MRS. HAWKINS. Oh!
DR. LIVESEY. That's what your Captain is that's
why he's waiting for one special seaman and that,
Mrs. Hawkins, is what the Squire and I have been
waiting for I've got men all over the countryside
Now, if we can keep an eye on the Captain (Enter
JIM from taproom) we'll get the whole crew of
them Oh, I say You say Jim is close to the Cap-
tain.
MRS. HAWKINS. Hand and glove more's the
pity.
DR. LIVESEY. Jim.
JIM. Yes, sir Come over here
MRS. HAWKINS. (Crossing) That horrid man
has had enough for to-day. The doctor wants to
talk to you (Exits)
DR. LIVESEY. Sit down.
JIM. (R. Comes over and sits at the table)
Thank you, sir.
DR. LIVESEY. Jim, since your father died your
mother has had only you to help her
JIM. I do my best, sir.
DR. LIVESEY. I know you do quite right, my
boy. Jim, your mother tells me the Captain hasn't
paid for his board and lodging.
JIM. He hasn't. Not since the first day, sir. He
was at that door calling for a glass of rum, " This
TREASURE ISLAND. II
is a handy little cove," says he. " Much company ? "
DR. LIVESEY. Oh, he asked that, did he ?
JIM. And when he heard as how there was very
little, he says, " This is the berth for me." So in
he comes with his sea-chest, and throws down three
pieces of gold. " You can tell me when I've worked
through that," says he.
DR. LIVESEY. Well, he has " worked through "
it, hasn't he?
JIM. Oh, yes, sir, and much beside.
DR. LIVESEY. Jim, if your mother is to get what's
owing her you must watch his every move to-
night I shall be there in the village the least
thing that looks suspicious any strangers that call
him any attempt of the Captain to leave you send
me word by your mother no matter what hap-
pens don't you leave him for one moment
JIM. (Slightly afraid but trying to hide it) Yes,
sir no, sir yes, sir (JiM sits R. of table)
DR. LIVESEY. Jim, there's a nasty fog out there
a fog, that hides things on the sea A fog".\like that
is bad for ships on good business, but it's^good for
ships on bad business These men are on bad busi-
ness (With sudden change of tone) Hawkins,
I am a magistrate
JIM. Yes, sir
DR. LIVESEY. Hawkins, I appoint you an officer
of the crown
JIM. (Startled, arises) Dr. Livesey.
DR. LIVESEY. (Salutes him) An officer of the
crown, Hawkins !
JIM. (Awkwardly returns the salute) Aye
aye, sir!
DR. LIVESEY. You're the only one who can watch
without suspicion You're not afraid, Hawkins?
JIM. (Fearfully) No no, sir I I'm not
afraid

DR. LIVESEY. Then we'll unravel this mystery be-
fore midnight Keep your eyes open Remember
officer of the crown! (Exits DR. LIVESEY R. c.)
(JiM salutes. During the last two preceding
speeches there is heard a song as if the singer
were approaching.)
CAPTAIN. (On stairs) Jim, is he gone?
JIM. Who?
CAPTAIN. That swab of a doctor
JIM. Yes.
CAPTAIN. Then go fetch me some rum, Jinr
JIM. But

CAPTAIN. The doctor be blowed I (With sud-
den change of manner. He now becomes almost
whiningly kind) Nay come here, Jim I'm not
meaning to be hard with you you've been my
friend You're the only one I can trust. (Con-
fidentially) And if ever I need someone it's to-day
there's things brewing to-day, Jim. (Looks fear-
fully over his shoulder at the window) I can feel
it in the air.
JIM. It's just the fog, Captain.
CAPTAIN. Aye the fog. It's full of faces, Jim
the fog (Keeps looking aroun'd furtively at the
window) Every step of the way from the cove I've
seen 'em faces Jim like those of Flint's crew up
there They've been all around me they're (Sud-
denly st-ares at the window) See see there at the
window look
JIM. (Crosses to window c.) Why, there's noth-
ing there !

ugly look on't.

There's not a person on the road. (Comes back into
the room c.)
CAPTAIN. Faces faces everywhere in the fog
(Turns suddenly) You've kept your eye open
for a sea-faring man with one leg?
JIM. Yes, sir though it's no pay I've had these
several weeks. (Down c.)
CAPTAIN. What! (Roars at him)
JIM. I said I'd had no pay and (As CAPTAIN
takes out his handkerchief to blow his nose) That's
alright, sir. You needn't mind.
CAPTAIN. (Blows his nose) No pay, eh. Well
well (Starts to roar and then changes his mind)
Well, there's your pay, lad take it take it I'm
needing friends to-day (As JIM takes the money)
There's a little lugger down at Kitt's Hole Keep

one asks for me you don't know me. You never

it's going to be a fight but we'll beat 'em yet
Give me that rum quick (Goes upstairs)
(JiM goes timidly to the window and looks out; then
he draws back. Finally he gets up his courage
and goes to the door, looks out timidly, then
grows bolder, goes outside, looks up and down
and finally comes in and closes the door. He
exits to the taproom. For a moment the stage
is empty. Upstairs the CAPTAIN can be heard
singing his song. Finally a face is seen peering
at the window. Then the face disappears and
