bert at Polls Theater tomorrow night
1t will be recalled that Maude Adams
appeared in the dramatic original of
TINS play with great success a few
| seasons ago.
Edward Delaney Dunn, who made
the adaptation. is one of the foremost
men in his particular profession, and
this Is said to be the best thing he
mas done The score is the work of
walter kollo, one Of Europe's most
distinguished composers, ranking, ac-
cording to continental critics with
franz Lehar and Oscar st rauss in quail
ity OF his music. Dorothy Ward, one
or England's most celebrated musical
comedy prima donnas, has been
brought to this country especially
for the leading role. During the last
several years Miss Ward has been
singing prima donna roles at, Days
and the Gaiety Theater in London
Among the productions in which she
has appeared in England with great
success are Havana" "The Waltz
Dream The Cinema Star" THE
Light Blues" and Flying Colors-

comedian, who has played long en-
gagements at the Abbey Theater in
Dublin, as well as the principal Lon
don theaters, Is another importation.
Quality Street" has always been
regarded as one of the most popular
OF Barrfe's plays, and the character of
Phoebe, which Miss Adams acted
here, and now portrayed by Miss Ward
In the musical version, is considered
one OF the most winsome in the entire
Barrie gallery. In keeping with the
merits of the dramatic version, the
Messrs. Shubert have given especial
attention to the supporting cast and
to the staging of the musical adap-
tation. The story OF the original play
has been closely followed in the work
or Mr.. Dunn, and II is said that the
interpolating of the musical numbers
makes the Barrie play more delight
full than ever.
Among those who are assisting Miss
Ward and Mr.. Glenville are Warren
Proctor, Josephine Adair. Muriel Tin
dal, Mary McCord, Marie Pettsa.
Lucius w. Metz. and Joseph Tinsley.
