Mile Rhea produced an adaptation from
it in this country. Recently Sydney
Grundy and the American Edward Rose
discovered it and prepared versions al
most simultaneously. Charles Frohman
got the Grundy book and Amelia Bing-
nam owns the Rose. She has made all
preparations to put it on at the Bijou
when she opens her season late in jan
uary. Meanwhile Frohman, in order to
be the first in the field, transferred his
version to his brother Daniel, and the
latter will present it at Days during
the first week in January. 1t will be
known as "Frocks and Frills." Miss
Bingham's play is called Lady Marg-
