Clipper Bureau. 46 Cranbourne St., Leicester So.ns.re. London. W. C. Abu. 17. "The worst week of the year," that Is how the managers regarded last week. There was not onlv a Bank Holiday to reckon wltb. but there was also the departure of many people for their yearly vacation. With the excep- tion of the musical plays, it Is doubtful If any of the theatres made a profit. A few words about "Attlla." the new play Iv Laurence Blnyon. with which Oscar Asclie slid Lily Brayton begin their season at lis Muliisty's, on Sept. 4. For the basis of his plav. Mr. Blnyon has gone to history. I be Interest centres not In the representation or events, but in the dramatic situations spring- ing from the actions of u *iall group of characters. His chief authority Is the record of Prlscus, a Greek, who was despatched In 441) A. D. by the Roman emperor, on a mission to the Huns, and who Uescrlocs Atlllu's uplKarance, manner . and surround- ings with great'precision'and vividness. As tuus seen. AtHla appears by no means ft savage—he ruled W his brain, be himself inltalnlslered Justice every day: anild Hie oHtcnlnllous splendor of his people be lived siuiptr: he was capable of courtesy and of mildness, although n-Morsoless If op|K>sed. lsuia Ashwell Iras 'selected as Ibe ntay with which she will Inaugurate the Klngwuys Theatre ft piece In three acts, entitled, "Irene Wycuerley." The author of the play desires to remain anonymous. On Aug. 26, Charles Frohman will pre- sent Pauline Chase at the Doke of Yorks, In a short Japanese play, the title of which has yet to be decided: upoh. This piece will he iilaved lieforc "Brewster's Millions, which, concluding at the Hicks, on Aug. 24. will be transferred to Ihe Duke of Yorks ou the Monday. Tbc lllcks will reoptu ou Aug. 27, wltb Henry Arthur Jones' play, "'Ihe Hypocrites." which is In full rehearsal un- der the personal direction of the author. Last Monday rehearsals were started of Heurv V. Esmonds new four act play, "Un- der the Greenwood Tree." the sub-title se- lected by tbc author belug "The Romantic History of Mary Htttnillon." It is with this that Maxlne r.lllott begins her season at the Lyric. Sept. S. Miss Elliott will, of course, appear hi the principal role, and sup- porting her will be. Charles Cherry. Eric UatarTu, T. Gideon Warren, Felix F.dwardes. Tom Mowbray, W. J. Yoldbam. Mary Jerrold and II. M. Praser. 'llie Apollo Is to be reopened next Wednes- day by Prank Curzou, with a new romantic musical piece devised, written and composed by "several lulllds," as the old phrase puts it; mid called by them "The Three Kisses."

The work will absorb the following quanti- ties of material: £1.500 worth of gold leaf, 21.040 pouudo of white lead, 18,000 yards Of velvet, 3,000 square yards of carpeting. In un inlcrvevv Frank Parker, the stage di- rector, said: "Tlie men who are lu renovate the celling will work on a staging slung from tliu roof, und ihere will bo no noise couoecte'd* with the painting operations. Wc shall be able to enrry these on during tbe jierfonu- ii lice. Travel lug cradles will facilitate tho work roiin.i tlii clrchrs, uud we shall be em- ploying about nuo men. The whole of the interior Is dusted over once ■ Week, bnt ibis la the llrst time we have bad to redecorate the place. Tbe gold paint and draperies have lasted wonderfully well, considering the deleterious effects of smoke and fog." A notable addition has been made to the staff of the Moss Empires, Limited—that, namely, of Charles Wilson, the well known stnge director. Mr. Wilson's early experi- ence was gained on tbe operatic stage, but for several years ho was responsible for the Empire builds: more recently he was In charge of ihe stage at the Albambra.
