FOR ITS LONDON ENGAGEMENT.
"The Clansman" Company to Begin
Special Rehearsals Monday.
Rehearsals will begin on the stage of the Willis Wood theater next Monday of the version of "The Clansman" to be produced at the Lyceum theater, London, in June, and later in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. George H. Brennan wired his representative here last night that the London booking had at last been definitely arranged and that contracts had also been closed with J. C. Williamson -- the Charles Frohman of antipodean theatricals -- for the principal Australian cities.
While all the dramatic features of "The Clansman" will be retained, some changes will be made in the characters and dialogue to suit the comprehension of non-American audiences. The rehearsals for the foreign version will be supervised by a director who has staged several of the American plays most successful in London.
