THE LONDON GAIETY.

By an arrangement, which Mr George Edwards has just concluded, says the “ Daily Mail,” a very considerable change will take p’ace at the Gaiety Theatre immediately after Easter. He has made a contract with Mr Leslie Stuart, the composer, for three musical plays, and the first of these will be the immediate successor of “ The Girls of Gottenberg,” in or about the third week of April. The present company at the Gaiety Theatre will take a rest after “ The Girls of Gottenberg ” has finished its London run, and then, in August, will go either to the provinces or New York, for a season that will probably extend to the following month of May. It is two years since Mr Edwardes announced that he would produce a musical play with Havana for its background, and the book for this piece is now being written for him my Mr Graham Hill and Mr George Grossmith, jun., whi’e Mr Ardrian Ross will - be responsible for . the lyrics- An'entirely new company of stars will by the new arrangement add further novelty to the attractions of ,the Gaiety Theatre, i>ut the chief pointy of interest lies in the . fact that the sparkling rhythm of Mr Leslie Stuart’s music is to become the inspiration of this famous 1 house.
