Dukes, Ashley (1885–1959), English dramatist, theatre manager, and dramatic critic. He worked for
Vanity Fair,
the Star, and the
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, and was also for many years English editor of the American
Theatre Arts Monthly. He had a wide knowledge of modern Continental drama and adapted a number of foreign plays for the London stage, among them Neumann's
Der Patriot as Such Men Are Dangerous (1928) and Feuchtwanger's
Jew Süss (1929), both for Matheson
Lang. His very free version of an episode from Fernando de Rojas's La
Celestina as
The Matchmaker's Arms (1930) provided an excellent part for Sybil
Thorndike, and Vivien
Leigh made her first outstanding appearance in his
The Mask of Virtue (1935), based on
Sternheim's Die Marquise von Arcis. In 1933 he opened the
Mercury Theatre where he did excellent work with productions of new and foreign plays, particularly verse plays. His translation of
Machiavelli's Mandragola was seen there in 1939. Among his own plays the most successful was
The Man with a Load of Mischief (1924), in which Fay
Compton made a great success as the Lady.
