Frohman's plans for John Hare. Hare will
appear In London under the Frohman man
agement, next season, as the Napoleon of
Pierre Berton's La Belle Marseillaise,"
and the surprise over this announcement Is
great. for 1t is remembered here that the
Berton play-turned into English by Mad

given In America last season by Virginia
Harmed.
On the other hand, however. the original
piece proved an immense success in Paris.

Henry Irving, who, it will be remembered,
