Tassel's new play; 1t was large
and enthusiastic audience that greeted
Cora Van Tassell at the Museum Mon

Spartaous. the Gladiator, which was in
John McCulloughs repertorle,and deals
rather with ethical motives. 1t con-
Germs the persecution of the early
Christians in Rome and their heroic
adherence TO their faith until DEATH
The interest of the tragedy centers in
half a dozen characters, but a large
cast is employed in making effective
