Dear Sir:
Your letter by Mrs. London,
received this morning and was indeed surprised
that you did not receive the former manuscript,
sent you some time ago. However, I am sending
you today, by parcel post, another copy of the
play and trust you will examine it at your earliest convenience.
You will note that I have
placed a romance in the plot that does not exist in the book. I did this, owing to the
fact that last year, while in Hew York, I had
Elizabeth Karbury, the play broker examine the
play and she informed me -very frankly- that
unless there ?/as a romance injected that would
continue through the entire play, it would be
impossible to get a producer. She also stated
th&t the plot does not contain a strong plausible reason for Smoke going to Alaska. I
later corrected it and submitted it to the
Frohman Company and the manuscript was held
for about six weeks and then returned with the
comment that they were not in the market for
any dramatizations.
After coming to Chioago, I
submitted it to Kr. Davis, manager of the Illinois Theatre. He is favorably impressed, but
of course, is powerless to produce it. I feel
if it looks good to you, in the shape it stands,
we will have no trouble to get a producer. However, I want you to be perfectly frank with me.
Thanking you for your past
co-operation, and assuring you of my intention
of trying until I got an acceptable dramatization, I am
Yours very \^^7j

L!r. Jack London,
Glen Elen, Cal.,
Ky dear Mr. London:-
You no doubt think by this time
that I am dead but you see I am not. Have
just finished re-dramatizing "Smoke Bellew".
Will send you a copy as soon as the typist
and blue-printers are through with it.
I feel that I have a good one now
and trust that you are also favorably impressed.
I am back in old Chicago and think
that I will make this my perminent address.
You know that I have confidence in
Smoke BoHew and I feel that although I may
not be a "Shaw" just now that continual effort
is the only thing that will make me a success
as a play-writter.
Very truly yours,
EPLS
