Tomorrow evening there will actually be pro-
duced another dFR1nal It seems incredible that 1t

Oliver Hobbies (Mrs. Craigie) and Murray Carson,
and WIS given last season at the Garrick Theatre,

CHER and Miss Van Brugh Mr.. Hackett has OBJ
tained for his production ". H Thompson and
Miss Dorothy Dorr. He has directed personally
many Of the rehesrssls, taking the company with
him to Chicago for that purpose.
The story Of the play, which is laid in Dinan,
France. deals with the simple love affairs Of the
Bishops nephew and young girl. and with the
rivalry between the church and fascinating young
duchess for the leading place in the Bishops own
affections. In the midst Of these AFFAIRS the
Bishop moves with kindly governing hand, gentle
urbanity, q keen sense Of humor and the tact OF
a chess master HIS personality pervades the play,
and In this personality the friends Of SIR Thomp-
son feel that he should find a congenial abiding
place and present picture Of winning temper. The
duchess OF course, will be played by Miss Dorr
The pen of Mrs. CrafgIe is to be in the dia-
Iogue why is it," the duchess asks, that when
