Mr. Duffy had made ihv usual arraiiRcmcnts fur st<ick production of 'The Bat' in Detroit. Nurhlng was said to Mrs. iMary Roberts) Rinvhart. and as far as I know to Ihe nthfr owners of the pla.v. abiiiit touring riRhts: and i-hc was iiiiia/.ed to Icurn that Mr. Duffy was planniiiR to take the play on the road. 'I'lii! uulhor has been coii.-idcr- iuR for several years the po.s.sibill:y of moderni/.ing the play, which is . certainly out of date. Since the own- ers never had any intention of put- tine the old version on the rviad, they .^o inrormcd Mr. Duffy when ihey heard or his plan.
