Man,'' was produced by the North Brothers
Stock Co., at the Majestic Theatre, Topeka. This well written play, with its novel and original characterization and its effective comedy lines, is now in the hands of two New York play brokers. Before many months, Mrs. Jarrell will be enjoying a royalty. In preparation, are two plays, as yet nameless; also, a play in collaboration with Mr. North of the North Stock Co. With her brother, Burus L. Williams, of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Jarrell has written an opera, ``The Mix Up in the Kingdom of Something-Like,'' which awaits only the lyrics Mr. Williams is writing and the music. An opera, ``The Kingdom of Never Come True,'' also, in collaboration with Mr. Williams, is being set to music by Arthur Pryor, the bandmaster. A serial story, ``John Bishop, Farmer,'' a collaboration with Albert T. Reed, the artist, is to be published soon in the Kansas Farmer. Later, this will appear in book form. A novel, which Mrs. Jarrell believes will be her best work, is in construction and is clamoring to be written. |
