Richard Walton Tully is engaging jan all-star-cast for his new spectacu- | lar drama, which wil] open at the ! Lyric Theatre, New York, on Labor Day. On account of the extremely time- ly nature of the play and the size of the production, this latest work by the author of "Omar, the Tentmak- er' and "The Bird of Paradise' will not go through the customary ordeal familiarly known as "being tried out on the dog," which consists of a ser- ies of preliminary performances in some city outside of New York. To take the place of this necessary finishing , process, Tully intends to give three or four dress rehearals before. invited audiences, and the play will thus literally have its pre- miere in New York.
