Iollis James.


 By public report MT. Louis James pro- tluction of Birds great Mccullough and Forrest version of "Spartacus," which will be seen at O'Brien's on Monday, Oc- tober 12, is by far the most elaborate ever seen of the play. Messrs Wagenhals & Kemper, recognizing the commanding ge- nius of their star, determined to spare no expense or trouble in fitting him with play suitable to his genius in the dignity of it's subject, and in surrounding him with scenic environments which should be worthy of the play and star. To this end they have purchased at a great eX- pense from the Bird estate of Philadel- phia the same great version of Sparta GUS" made forever famous by the genius of Forrest and Mccullough. There have been other poor limitations, but none to equal the great original.
 Of all the stories of ancient Rome which have been handed down to us in dramatic form none is more thrilling in interest, or interesting from the romance attend ing. than is that of "Spartacus, the Clad iator," who. enslaved and forced to meet in the bloody arena of Rome the fiercest of savage beasts and still more savage men, burst his shackles, and, with his companions and the rude weapons which they seized in flight, formed the nucleus of a revolt which soon assumed such pro- portions as to cause Rome to tremble on her seven hilla and to put forth her en-
 
 consuls. The part of "Spartacus' was the greatest in the repertory of Edwin Forrest, and will assume the same high place in that of MT. James, as Wagen- hals & Kemper his managers, have made it the most important feature of his star ring tour this season.
 They have surrounded him with strong supporting company, equipped him with wealth of handsome new seen cry and magnificent costumes for the purpose of giving the play commanding revival. The scenery is painted by Messrs Buehler & Lanphear of Chicago, and is said to be a marvel of beauty. The prin- cipal scenes are on the Via Sacra, the finest street in Rome; the tapestry cham Der of Crassus, the Campania, with Mt. Vesuvius in the distance; the camps Of Gellius and Spartacus and the arena scene The latter Is of circular form, like D cyclorama, and presents an exact view of the Roman arena when filled with the vast audience which assembled to view the gladiatorial contest-an effect never before used on any stage and one which Is wonderfully realistic. The company is first-class, and includes, besides MT. James, Guy Lindsley, Collin Kemper, John Stepplings, Thomas Cooke, Alma Kruger, Florence Everett, etc.

Perhaps the most interesting fact
about the building Of Wormwood Scrubs
prison is that the plans for its construc-
tion were drawn out by a convict in his
cell while undergoing the probationary
nine months to long term Of imprison-
ment.
The man was originally an architect,
and among the foremost Of his profes-
sion. He was a gentleman by birth and
education, but in early life began to
abuse his natural gifts, and at the time
was undergoing his second term Of i'm
prisomment for forgery. The completion
Of the work occupied him for nearly six
months and was effected under great
disadvantages. In place Of table, for
instance, he had to pin his paper to the
wall of his cell, moving it round with
the sun in order to obtain the best light
The prison authorities consider this
marvellous specimen Of architectural
drawing the finest piece Of work ever
done by an English convict. 1t measures
in size feet inches, being drawn to
the scale Of hundredth part Of an inch.
The convict displayed the greatest in
terest and pride III the erection and com
pletion Of the prison, which was built
entirely by convict labor It contains
1881 separate cells for prisoners, which
cost on an average e7O rs. each, besides
hospital wards and chapel
The total number Of bricks required
was 35, 900, 600. each one being made
by the convicts Oh the premises, OF Oh
some adjoining land leased for the pur-
pose. The iron castings were obtained
from Portland OF Chatham prison, the
granite from Dartmoor and the Portland
stone from Portland The total cost Of
the prison was more than e97, 000.-
