HAYDEN COFFIN AGAIN. Interesting to London is the fact that this new musical play will bring back to the stage Hayden Coffin, who in stage effects, especially a sceme in the fashionable shop in which the “GIrl” is emploved. The piece Is due at Wyndham's at Easter, where, by the way, “Captain Drew on Leave”, in which Charles Wyndham has been so successful, Is in its last nights. J. M. Barrle is now almost as secre- tive as Mr. Pinero regarding any new play from his pen, but it can be stated that a pretty Irish girl, with more than the suggestion of a brogue, is the hero- ine of his new play which Frohman is to produce at the comedy ere long. This, of ecourse, is quite a new depart- ure for Barrie and at his wish Eva Moore, who scored recently in “Lights Out,” is to play the fair colleen, while her husband, H. V. Esmond, will also have a leading part in the piece. This will be the first work we have had from Mr. Barrie since “Alice-Sit-by- the-Fire,” and, needless to say, it is being awaited In London with the keenest anticipation. , Meanwhile, on the continent, the lat- est sensation in the theatrical line is a “floating theater” with a capacity of no less than 2500 which Herr de Hondt aof Berlin is having bullt for use on the Rhine. . The plans outlined are for an Itallan opera company as the chief at- traction of this floating house of amusement, which is to be towed from town to town, stopping at each place as long as business is profitable.
