| Im Common Pleas-Gericht erließ gestern Richter Daly den vom Bühnenschriftsteller Edward H. House geforderten Einhaltsbefehl gegen Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), Frau Abby Sage Richardson und Daniel Frohmann, welchen dadurch verboten wird, die von Fran Richardson vorgenommene neue Dramatisirung von Mark Twain's Roman „der Prinz und der [Pau]per“ zur Aufführung zu bringen, da D[illegible]ine Verletzung eines zwischen dem [illegible] des Romans und House getroffenen Uebereinkommens sei, nach welchen Letzterer den Roman dramatisiren sollte. | In the Common Pleas Court yesterday, Judge Daly issued the restraining order requested by playwright Edward H. House against Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), Mrs. Abby Sage Richardson, and Daniel Frohmann, prohibiting them from performing Fran Richardson's new dramatization of Mark Twain's novel “The Prince and the [Pau]per” because it is a violation of an agreement made between the [illegible] of the novel and House, according to which House was meant to dramatize the novel. |
