THE Lily" which David Belasco wilt

THE Lily will be important not only
because it was adapted by Mr.. Belasco,
but because it will serve C introduce

Leo Ditrichstein, and a half dozen other
other players OF national Sn1 interna-

piece Is too subtle and delicate to sum
up I'm a brief statement. II Is a drama
