Kingdom of God

Ye Wilbur Theatre / Broadway Premiere (Boston) / December 3, 1928

---

This is a Broadway preview performance, and there have been slight changes between the play at this point in time and
the opening night nearly three weeks later. The part of "Felipe" was eliminated and the actor, Elisha Cook, Jr., took over
the part of "Juan de Dios." The actor playing that role, J. Warren Lyons, doesn't appear in the Broadway opening night cast.
Also, Marcel Dill's character, "Vincente", is renamed "Victor" for the Broadway production.

As a sidenote, the actor who was cut from the Boston production, J. Warren Lyons, did finally make it to Broadway.
In 1936 he appeared in A Woman of Destiny and 1943 in Lady, Behave!.
