John Drew will not appear in Froh- man’s revival of * Little Lord Fauntleroy next season, the title-réle having been as- signed to Miss Amelia Bingham instead. George M.

Rockefeller in The Lion and the Mouse” has encouraged him to make a three-act comedy of Andrew Carnegie for Nat Wills. The war of the syndicates goes merrily on.
