PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

blanche Walsh's new play by Eugene W.
presbrey, in which she will star the coming
season, will be called "Marcelle." Plans for her
debut have been somewhat changed. Her first
anuearance was to have been made in Philadel-
mia Sept "a, going from there to Montreal Oct.
/ She will now open in Montreal and follow
.,Ben Iur' at the Broadway theater in New
York Oct s. when the Wallace drama will go
20 the Chestnut Street Opera house in Philadel-
mia for a brief run. "MarCelle' is an historical
romantic drama with a very strong love interest.
The scenes are laid IN France and Quebec in
the years from 1860 to l7GO. This production
will attract special attention because of its va
ricty of incidents, its rapidty OF action, its
strongly eontrasted characters and magnhcence
Of scenery. Miss Walsh will play the role Of
Marcelle de Narncy, a Hugenot Hobart Bos-
worth was engaged as her leading man. Be
cause of illness he has been forced to resign
and the character for which he was cast, Rob
crt Hardy, an English captain, will he played
by Ernest Hastings.
While "King John" will be the leading tea'
ture of Madame Modieska's coming tour, which
will open Oct. l5, the great Polish actress VIII
be seen in some of her familiar roles, notably as
"Lady Macbeth" Camille and 'Mary Stuart"
The king John" revival promises to be the
greatest production in which Modieska has ever
figured. She has placed her management in the
hands Of wageuhals and Kcmper, and the latter
have prepared elaborate stagings, costumes, mu'
sic and other incidental features for he revival,
The great scenes of this wonderful historical
tragedy will be all the more attractive from the
fact that they are almost unknown 70 the
American stage. She will be given a splendid
company, headed by r. d. MacLean and odettS
Tyler,
