Little Girls in Blue" "La La Lucille"
and "The Velvet Lady," Paul Lannin
and William DAILY furnished the tunes
and Arthur Jackson the lyrics Most
of Mr.. Jackson's previous writingsShave

also follows this tendency. The plot
concerns a young bridal couple spend

The husband, so the plot runs, quite
naturally desires the exclusive society
Of his bride, but his firtatious spouse
has hit upon plan for making her
husbands love permanent by arousing
his jealousy. She insists upon enter
tanning most Of her young friends, in
Guiding her former male admirers. The

X ENT'S long shadows are approach
ing and the producers are rush
'~ ing into the theaters with such
new shows as appear to have stamina
to withstand the rigors of the penten-
tial season. The expected propulsion
from the holiday business of Washing
tons birthday was responsible for the
original announcement of six premi-
cres on Monday night, but the
disadvantages of opening against each
other brought about Encouragement
of the schedule and now the open
ngs are scattered through the week,
even to Saturday. Three new attrac-
tions are punched on Monday-"To tho
Ladies" at the Liberty Theatcr, "The
French Doll" at the Lyceum and "For
Goodness Sake" at the Lyric. Tho
others are "The Rubicon" ct tho Hud-

Wednesday and the opening Of a new

in "Mary," have the comedy roles. Alex
A. Aarons is making the production.
Edouard Bourdet's French comedy,
"The Rubicon," which comes sponsored
by Henry Baron to the Hudson Theater
tomorrow night, owes its existence in
a measure to Georges de Porto Richie,
whose "Amoreuse" was presented in
New York last season by Mr.. Baron
under the title Of "The Tyranny Of
Love" Bourdet was one of the younger
society set Of Paris, and his favorite
amusement was the writing cf one-act
plays for private showings at which he
tnterta ined his friends. Some ten or
twelve years ago he struck an idea
which seemed suitable for long play
Cor the regular theater The theme, so
it is said, was original and daring, and
the play almost wrote itself. Upon its

Michel Mortier, manager Of the Thea
tre Michel, produced it. It has won
high standing in France. The central
situation of the play is said to be bold
and novel without being scandalous
adroitly risque and brilliant in dia-
logue. 1t is a variation, Of course, of
the triangle theme. Henry Baron
adapted the play and Violet Heming
has the leading role.
Irene Bordonis appearance in "The
French Doll" at the Lyeceum Theater
tomorrow evening will mark her debut

Gerbidon by A. f. Thomas. Miss Bor-
doni has an opportunity to sing few
songs in the course Of the plays de-
velopment. She has reached stardonl

George Bernard Shaw's "Mrs War
ren's Profession" comes to Broadway
again, when Mary Shaw will present it

ren's Profession" with Mary Shaw in
the leading role, was first acted in New

Since then she has played it on tour
and in association with the Washing
ton Square Players at the Comedy The

Earl Carroll will show his new thea

opening it with new play of his own
bearing the cryptic title Of "Bavu." The
drama which will initiate the new play
house is described as "distinctive but
the fact that there will be special music
