MERTON HODGE'S PLAY
PRODUCTION IN DOMINION Messrs. J. C. Williamson have definitely bought Dr, Morton Hodge's play " The Wind and the Rain " for production in Australia and New Zealand, writes the London correspondent of the Herald. It is understood that they want largely to cast it in Sydney, as the expense of taking out an English company in theso days is a very serious tax on the firm. Dr. Hodge hopes to spare the time to go out and see that when "The Wind and the Rain" reaches New Zealand it will be as near a replica of the St. Martin's production as it is possible to obtain. At present it plays to full houses in London. It has been running without a break since last September, and reached its 300 th performance some weeks ago. " Grief Goes Over," Dr. Hodge's other play, is to be produced in October, directed by Miss Auriel Lee, and under the management of Messrs. Howard and Wyndham. It will be after the appearance of this that the author hopes to travel to New Zealand. It is not desired that " Grief Goes Over " shall be put on while the popular and entertaining comedy still fills St. Martin's.
