Lionel and John Harry more are to spend all of next season in New York city, according to present arrangements. They will reopen at the Plymouth-theater in "Tho Jest" early in September. remaining in it for 10 weeks. Then they will separate, Lionel to be seen in "The Ited Itol'e" and John to again appear in "Redemption." After "Hedemptlon" has been kept at the

Plymouth for 10 weeks, Harrymore will be seen in play by Sem Henelli, writer. Following "The Robe" Lionel Barrymore is in "Cyrano ele Hergerac."

unusual plans thoroughly establish the Barryniores as among the first actors of their time. And Ethel Rirrymore, their sister, is to have a new comedy.

lukewarm reception given the play which has to caught on In New York. Since the Coburns have returned from their vacation, Mr. Hopper haa started a tour of "The Better Olo" in Canada. Sophie" is the title of a play being written by Philip Moelbr and in which Lmiiy Stevens will star. Miss Stevens acts wry much like her cousin, Mrs. Flske. "Th Mix-up," a rouKh anc" tumble fare in which Mario Dressier once acted, is beim,' set to music and will be known as "Suite 16." For r.iusicalization purposes about every old comedy and farce in the country has been dus up. "Checkers." in which Thomas W. I loss played in South Bond, Is the latest. To prove that Lionel Barrymore is among the very foremost American .ctors of hi time, elaborate plans are being made for his future. Iast season he was in "The Copperhead" and then joined forces with his brother, John, who is likewise gifted to the extent that hi.s acting is notably fine., and appeared in "The Jest." After tarting tho new season ii. "The J-s?," Lionel Barrymore- is to act in Brleux's "The Bed Hobe" and then in a revival of Cyrano de Bergerac." which Robert Ioralne his revived in London with much success. It was acted at the Auditorium a long time ago by Richard Mansfield. Boston is enjoying revivals of "Floradora" and "Havana" and as they are far better than similar offerings of later make, many theatergoers are goln?: to them. The impression prevails in theatrical circles that the new season, now starting, will be the most prosperous in all history. In consequence of this "belief producers are riskinfc more than they have risked In a long time. A list of scheduled prodtictions shows a great number of musical farces, most of them bearing crary titles and plvinp no prospect of much stability. There are, however, somo exception. The musical version of "Monsieur BeaucaJr" is a great success In London, with Maggie Teyte In the chief role. ' In this country Eleanor Tainter, who has a. fine voice. Is to have the Teyte role. The Honored Guest" is the name of the comedy la which "William T. Hodge will star. Mr. Hodge was

last In South Bend in "Fixing Sister .He became famous in "The Man From Home." Walker "Whiteside, whose best acting was done in "The Melting Pot," Is next year to star in a dramatization of Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Master of Hallantrae."

They were last here more than six years ago. The Shuberts are to revive "Florolora." with several stars in the cast. An elaborate revival of "IaBelle Helene" is prorated by the Shw-b-rts.

AT THE OLIVER

"A riot of fun, a feast of music and a bevy of feminine beauty," is tho promise of Cohan and Harris whoso production, "doing Up," which scored such a success during its two years at the Liberty theater. New York, will be the attraction at tho Oliver theater early in the season. "Going Up" is by Otto Harbach and James Montgomery, who wrote the book and lyrics and Louis A. Hirsch composed the music. Perhaps the biggest hit in "Going Up" is the "Tickle-Toe" song and dance. This number took six and eight encores nightly during its run in New York. Another is. "I Want a Determined Boy." The play also contains "If You Look In Her Eye.." "The Touch of a Woman's Hand," "Do It For Me." and "When the Cuttain Falls." Tho leading singing and comedy roles have been placed in the hands of a cast headed by Jack Mack, others being Beatrice Burrows, Therese Joseph?. Lillian Raymond, Hilda Johnson, George Phelps, Warren It. Jackson, Harry McCoy, Dan Marble and Arthur Cunningham.
