ton of the piece. Saints and Sinners
had its introduction to the public this
week in the interior cities of the State,
and was everywhere highly praised. The

to the lei 9Th of recting the story in de-
tail. Sufficient it is to say that there is
neither scene, situation nor line that is
trite. From first to last the play gives
abundant proof that the author has
evolved it from his own mind, and having
done so, can not be charged with hay
ing been, in any respect the victim of
"mental saturation" The scenes are To-
Gated in England. The cue for the argu-
ment is taken FIR m one of hose peculiar
and inexplicable laws oftentimes found in
old statute books, from the workings OF
which manifest injustice follows. With
the distinct object of demonstrating this
injustice in view the dramatist has care
fully selected his characters and kept them
dallying s, def,ly that at the end the au-
dience realizes perfectly the clearncss of
the demonstration, through the mazes OF
which it has been lead errapt. s, well is
this brought about that il
is not until the denouement is
reached that the mystery is solved The
opportunities offered for intense emotional
acting are constant and the somewhat
sombre hue OF the story is happily relieved
at opportune intervals by grateful flashes
of comedy. The play is really melo.

perspective, so to speak, the audience hav

drama ist is to be further mmended fol
tive reason that he has not seen fit to write
his play purely for the benefit OF the stage
carpenter and the milliner. 1t is however
susceptible OF handsome scenic mounting
yet the piece is strong enough to carry
itself without special scenic display"
