The story of the new play,

poverished Austrian archduke and
his mistress of former days. The
time of the play is 1880 and
mobiles have been out of Vienna
for 10 years, all save the broken
down impoverished group which
has desperately tried to adjust
itself to the new conditions. To
this group Frau Lucher is giving
a party in remembrance of cider
days when she ran the gay es-
Establishments wherein the HapS-
burgs revelled.
The archduke's former mistress
is invited, and her husband, a
great psychoanalyst, urges her to
go, for will it not, he argues, serve
to clear all dougts that she is bet
ter off as the wife of a bourgeois
than as the mistress of noble.
The archduke is an exile from
Vienna and if he is caught he is
in danger of his life.
Lunt as Royalty
Alfred Lunt will be the arch
duke, Lynn Fontanne the lady,
Helen Westley, Frau Lucher, and
