Dr. Conan Doyle is a literary man hard to classify as a dramatist. "[[A Story of Waterloo]]" he wrote for [[Henry Irving]] without assistance. But his comedy, "[[Halves]]," is based on a novel by [[James Payn]]. [[William Gillette]] is taking suggestions from only two of Dr. Doyle's stories and will make pratically an original play out of "Sherlock Holmes." Doyle has one qualification for a dramatist which will be of value if ever his plays are in demand. He is said to be the most rapid of well-known writers. It is told that he was coming home late one afternoon from a game of cricket with a friend, to whom he remarked that a certain incident would make a good story. That night at dinner his friends suggested that he write the tale. "I've done it already," was the answer.
