man. He made many successes at that
time. In commenting on the appear

may not be quite ready yet to be placed
on the head of Mr.. Haworth, but the
rustling of the leaves can be heard in
the distance" Paul KauUdr deals with
the darkest days of the great French
revolution, known as the reign of terror
which ended with the death Of the tyrant
Robespierre. The drama is replete with
the most interesting scenes and Incl

the royalist legions to rout.
