Will Gillette Retire From Stage and Playwriting
London July 9 William Gillette the American playwright and actor has been dangerously ill for more than a week and will retire from the stage and relinquish playwriting indefinitely. He was taken ill last week but continued working until confined to his room under medical care. The primary cause is malarial fever with fear of a relapse of his lung trouble. His understudy has taken his part in Secret Service while Gillette’s name remains on bills. The collapse disrupts Charles Frohman’s plans to produce Too Much Johnson after the Seriet Services run, and modifications appear likely.
