MR. WODEHOUSE GETS IDEAS IN HIS BATH.

And Then Works Them Out on Roads on Push-bicycle.

 

Mr. P. G. Wodehouse, the English writer who has a big finger in the New York stage pie at present, gets his ideas in original ways.

“I am now thinking out more plots for Jeeves,” he said recently, “while I lie in a brine bath.

“I can generally get ideas in this way. Afterwards I go for long, slow rides on a push-bicycle and elaborate them as I go.

“I am able to work best when my wife is with me. We go over plots together, and when I have finished a story she reads it and gives me her advice. She helps me a lot.”

£7,500 FOR “JEEVES” FILMS.

Mr. Wodehouse is being paid £7,500 by a British film company for the right to select from his stories of “Jeeves” and “Psmith” material for the making of two pictures.

Jeeves, a prince of butlers and a marvel of resource on behalf of his employer, a gilded young “man about town,” instantly became famous. Psmith is another humourous character whose doings are well known to hosts of Mr. Wodehouse’s readers in this country and America.
