new DRAMA FROM
CALIFORNIA Pen
Noted Coincidence Accepts Play
Written by Woman of
This City
"The Duchess of Suds" to Be
Presented in New York
Next Winter

"The Duchess of Suds'' is the para
doxical title of romantic drama which
Miss Miriam Nicholson. the California
novelist and short story writer, has
built for Miss Henrietta Crossman,
the New York star now playing at the
Columbia theater. Miss Michelson's
play, if the present plans are carried
out, will be presented in New York
this winter.
This is the second announcement
within a short time of a famous eastern
actress selecting her play from Cali
fornia woman writer. Last week 1T
was announced that Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton was writing drama for Mrs.
Minnie Maddern Fiske. In that case
the play was not completed. but Miss
Michelson's work is now in the hands of
Miss Crosman and preparations for it's
production are said to be under way in
New York.
HISTORICAL SETTING
The heroine of Miss Michelson's ro-
mantle drama is the Duchess Barbara,
a woman of Flanders who became the
mistress of King Charles of Spain in
one of his military excursions into the
lowlands She was a washer woman.
but of great beauty. She became the
mother of Don Juan, the famous Span
ish general.
The time of the play is after the
death of King Charles, and while the
woman is living in more or less rebel
lion at the court of Charles legitimate
SON King Philip. Philip hates the
woman and he arranges a marriage be-
tween her and a general whom he
knows she hates and who hates her.

The scene of the play is in Spain and
that will give opportunity for rich and
elaborate costuming. There will be 20
spea king parts in the production and
large number of supernumeraries will be
required to give the romantic distinc-
tion Miss Crosman desires for it.
ACTRESS ENTHUSIASTIC
Miss Crosman is enthusiastic over the
part she is to have in the play, that of
a strong, whole souled, coarse, vehement,
masterful woman, with wit and
brusqueness and of absolute fearless
ness.
Miss Crosman and Miss Nicholson
had never met until last Sunday upon
Miss Crosman's arrival at the ST. Fran

president. Hale Is assisting in the ar
rangements for the presidents trip to
