The well known and successful war drama,
"Held By the Enemy" will be produced at Cor
drays this week. This play was written by
William Gillette, and its great success led to the
bringing out OF alabama" and Shenandoah"
two other famous pieces OF tie same class
There are peculiar scenic features about the
production OF Held by the Enemy" which rem
der Ii highly realistic in this respect The
scene showing the interior of a large brick
warehouse, for example, with the sound OF bat
tie raging in the distance and fragments of the
structure flying in every direction as they are
detached by heavy caunonade. is most i'm
posing spectacle. The interior of fort in
which a court-martal IS being held, is no less
impressive. The piece will be artistically
staged by the Cordrsy management and
every accessory Tor successful production has
been provided. The story of the play is ex-
tremely interesting, and its material is taken
from incidents occurring about the close of the
evil war. The opening scenes ara set in
Georgia. Rachel McCreery, a beautiful South
ern girl, Is betrothed to Lieutenant Gordon
Hayne, of the Confederate army. The McCreery
mansion Is made the headquarters OF Colonel
