Fortunes of a Play.

Frankfort Moore’s play, “At the King’s Head,” which Kichard Mansfield is to produce, has had a curious fortune. As originally written it was offered to nearly every manage! in London and promptly declined. Then the author transferred it into a story, making few changes in it other than the addition of “he said” and “she said” at the end <sasf the speeches. A magazine printed it, the critics said it would make an admirable drama, and soon there wps a deluge of offers from managers. Mr. Moore probably has some fixed and definite notions now about the prevalence of humbug in literature. The wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand.
