fred de Musset in Mrs. Fiske's new
play about George Sand, which Is to 90
into rehearsal next week. 1t is under
stood that the entire cast will be Sc
lected with the greatest care. The
playwright is Philip Moeller, already
known as the author of "Helena's Hus-
hands, "a Roadhouse in Arden" and
other plays produced by the Washing
ton Square cenacle.
Upon finishing her first reading Of
the manuscript, Mrs Fiske declared It
was the most brilliant play yet written
by an American author. This Is had
upon the unimpeachablc authority of
John p. Toohey, representing Klaw 4
Erlanger and George C. Tyler, the pro.
ducers. Even after the effect Of the
first reading had worn of Mrs. Fiske

Henry Herbert, Of the Stratford-on-
Avon Shakespeare Memorial Theatre,
will give a descriptive reading Of
Julius Cesar" at the Princess Theatre
tonight. The Avon Ladies' String
Quartette will provide appropriate
music.
Mr.. Herbert selected Julius Cesar"
from hi. repertoire because of its
bearing on the present worldwide
upheaval, in that It deals with the sup
preston of autocratic rule and the
moral lesson that good cannot be ac-
complished by evil means.
There are a great many "Laurette

women 1ho return again and again to

Friends Of Booth Harrington insist
that the playwright, in writing the
character Of the cocksure youth, Sam
Wilson, who figures in the first and last
acts of "The Country Cousin" at the
Gaiety Theatre, had in mind former
United States Senator Albert j. Bever-
idge, of Indianapolis, fellow towns
