Cyrano de Bergerac. This tale of a huge‐nosed, comic‐tragic poseur, who is so homely he must woo by proxy, remains one of the great French romantic plays of the late 19th century. Rostand's work was first presented in New York by Richard Mansfield in 1898 and by Augustin Daly in Philadelphia with a cast headed by Charles J. Richman, Ada Rehan, and Mrs. Gilbert. Within a month of its opening, Weber and Fields presented their famous spoof, Cyranose de Bric‐a‐Brac, while in 1899 Victor Herbert's failed musical version was produced with Francis Wilson as its star. Walter Hampdenrevived the play in 1923 and returned to it at intervals. In 1946 José Ferrer led a successful revival. Two other musical versions, in 1973 and 1993, both failed, although Christopher Plummer was highly praised in the former. The Royal Shakespeare Company's revival, with Derek Jacobi, earned rave notices in 1984, while Frank Langella had one of his rare disappointments when he essayed Cyrano in 1997.
