sisted upon the original version
of the play.
At its first performance in
Mrs. WELLER observed
that the audience laughed at the
wrong time, read later that critics
found a bungling technique and
many beginner errors. She then
consented to such changes as Pro
ducer B. A. Meyer might care to
make. To revert to the London
version would have compelled
closing the play temporarily and
efforts were made to doctor the
production here and in Pitts

Frances Starr, who was admir-

in the play in New York.
Here, then, is the story of g

PLAY REWRITTEN
81 first read the play when
Mr.. E. P. Cliff, managing direc-
tor of RenandcO, bought it over
three years ago. 1t contained an
excellent idea, but, from a pro-
ductiOn point of view, serious
faults. Mrs. Cliff persuaded Mrs.
Marguerite WELLER, the author
ess, to rewrite it, and some
months later she sent him
second version. This also was
unsatisfactory in many respects
Eventually, Mrs. WELLER gave
carte blanche to adapt the play
for a London production, reserv-
ing to herself the right of ap-
proval of the script if and when
it should be produced in New
York.
"Mr. Gift asked me to do the
adaptation.
"The original versions set the
scene in a country house on
Long Island, and all the char
acterS were American. The diff
ficulties of securing an all-Ameri-
can cast were insuperable, and,
after discussion, it was decided
to set the locale on the Riviera.
During the course of three
months hard work on the play,
many difficulties of character
izatiOn, motivation, and meChan-
les were encountered, making
radical changes necessary.
zone character had to be de-
leted and another invented. Most
of them needed some alteration.
The whole framework. including
the arrangements of acts and
scenes, had to be revised.
"In rehearsal even more diff
ficulties became apparent, and
Claud Gurney, the producer, was
forced to make still further
alterations, with which l assisted
him.
The result was that when the
play was finally produced at the
St. Martins Theater on June 10,
1885, with Leslie Banks and
Elenda Miramova in the leads,
it bore very little resemblance
except in general concept and
theme to Mrs. Veiller's original.
