anarchy are painted in vivid and shock
ing colors. The play, though fraught
with gloomy passion and casting pail
of gloom over the heart, holds the mir
ror so perfectly up to nature that it
challenges admiration at the same time
that its realism pains and oppresses.
The essential object Of the drama is to
discriminate patriotism from mob vio-
lence by representing in action lofty
themes, the conduct Of heroic men and
women moved by the loftiest patriot
ism and envroned by the awful circum-
stances of civil revolution. 1t is vivid
picture of the most troublous times OF
the French nation and in addition to
it's dramatic situations has a beautiful
coloring of romance. Manager Robin
son introduces an entire new version
this season, which is by the late Steele
Mackaye, who has invested this, his
masterpiece, with new situations, tell
ing climaxes, and has lightehed up the
somewhat sombre scenes by bright and
taking comedy scenes "The New Paul
Kauvar" comes to the Academy of
Music tonight.
