THE
SERIES OF BIG MUSICAL PLAYS
To Be Produced After the First of the New
Year—Various Prominent Firms Will Pub-
lish the Music.
Several new musical comedies and one or two
light operas are scheduled for production at the
Shubert theaters early in the new year. Of the
pieces named below, '"The Balkan Princess," "Mar-
riage a la Carte" and "The Man with Three
Wives" will be published by Chappell & Co., Ltd.
"The Girl from the Woods," by Reginald de Koven
and Rida Johnson Young, will be published by
Jerome H. Remick & Co. The musical version of
"Trilby" will be published by Chas. K. Harris. The
presentations will include works by both native
and foreign composers and librettists, and, besides
furnishing vehicles for many stars already estab-
lished favorites with American audiences, will also
serve to introduce to the American public eminent
players and singers from abroad.
"The Balkan Princess," which ran for an entire
season at the Prince of Wales' Theater in London,
will be presented in this country under the joint
management of the Messrs. Shubert and William
A. Brady. Louise Gunning will be the star in the
title role of "The Balkan Princess." The role of
the Duke will be sung by Bertram Wallis, whose
hit in this part was the most sensational feature of
the original production in London, and who comes
to this country by special arrangement with Frank
Curzon. The leading comedy role will be played
by Herbert Corthell, who recently has been starring
on tour in "The Girl and the Drummer," and who
is dear to New York playgoers for his interpreta-
tions of leading characters in such well-known
comedy successes as "uoing Some" and "Seven
Days." Joseph Herbert, Teddy Webb, Vida Whit-
more and Kenneth Hunter will also have prominent
roles.
"The Balkan Princess" is English, the libretto
being by Frederick Lonsdale and Frank Curzon
and the music by Paul Rubens, the composer of
"Miss Hook of Holland," "Dear Little Denmark"
and other notable English successes, also published
by Chappell & Co., Ltd.
"Marriage a la Carte," which is to be presented
exclusively in Shubert theaters under the manage-
ment of Lieblef & Co., is a new musical produc-
tion, described elsewhere in this section of The
Review.
The musical version of "Trilby," which was first
announced some time ago, is now promised to be
offered to the public with a select cast and elabor-
ate production. The title role is to be sung by a
foreign artist of the very highest standing, whose
name and identity will be revealed within a few
weeks. The music of "Trilby" is by Victor Her-
bert. The book, by Joseph Herbert, is founded on

REVIEW
Paul Potter's dramatization of the Du Maurier
story by permission of William A. Brady.
"The Love Waltz" is the name of the offering in
which Ida Brooks Hunt, who appeared all last sea-
son as Nadina in "The Chocolate Soldier," is to be
the featured player under the management of the
Messrs. Shubert. The music is by O. M. Ziehrer,
who will be remembered as the composer of "Mile.
Mischief," in which Lulu Glaser attained a notable
success two seasons ago. Ziehrer is one of the
leading Viennese composers, and "The Love Waltz"
has already received the most enthusiastic European
endorsement. The American book is by Edgar
Smith and the lyrics are by Matt Woodward.
Special interest should attach to the production
of "The Man with the Three Wives," by Franz
Lehar, composer of "The Merry Widow." This
piece has been a wonderful hit in Vienna, and is
said to be quite equal to "The Merry Widow." The
American libretto will be by Paul M. Potter. This
is the first Lehar operetta which the Messrs. Shu-
bert have produced, and it is scarcely necessary to
state that all their immense resources will be used
for this offering in the most prodigal manner.
Mabel Barrison, who has appeared for the last
two seasons under the Shubert management, is now
to be starred in a new musical production entitled
"The Girl from the Woods." The music is by
Reginald De Koven and the book is by Rida John-
son Young, who has come into recent prominence
as a librettist owing to her authorship of the book
of "Naughty Marietta," this last-named light opera
being published by M. Witmark & Sons.
