NEW VERSION AT LYRIC.
Justin II. McCarthy's new version of
The Dukes Motto" which will be
presented by Lewis Waller at the
Lyric next season recalls memories of
New York of long ago. The play which
owes its origin to Paul FevaIs lie
Bossu," was first produced by Fletcher
at the Lyceum, London. in 1863. The
man who arranged the English version
was John Broueham, a native of
Dublin, who spent the later years of
his life in America and died i'm 1880.
In 1869. he opened the playhouse In
New York now known as the Madison
Square theater and probably Will he

THE STARS MARRIAGE"
Joseph Brooks, the American man
ager, has not yet been able to COM
plete negotiations for the West End
theater in which he hopes to present
YVette Guilbert in an English version
of lie Marriage d Etole" this fall.
The English adaptation is being made
by Edward Knobloch who adapted
1.-THE Shulamitc." The story of the new
play which will be called, THE Stars
Marriage" is intensely dramatic. The
| heroine, which will be played by
| Yvette Guilbert. Is a certain Mdlle
| Florence Bell, an actress famous both
In London and Paris. Her daughter Is
| engaged to a wealthy young man NAM
cd Andra Lanborthier and the mar

seen. suddenly and unexpectedly APP
pears upon tho scene Andre finds IT
! hard to conceal his love at first sight
for the mother and equally hard to
decide which Of the two women Is
| the more adorable. In unravelling this
tangled skein the authors show con
siderable ingenuity and originality. The
play which is by Bisson and Thurncr
when produced at the Paris Vaudeville
some months ago, was an enormous
success. Gullbert Ia now sick in bed
with a severe cold and has been com
pelled TO postpone her appearance
which she intended would he a real
