drama, was produced in Chicago last Monday
night. with Wilton Lackaye in the title role
The character is said to be another, and even
less poetic, Svengali, with all the horror Of

relieving fun. DR.. Belgroff Is a scientist
masquerading as country druggist. He is
necromantic and uncanny in appearance and
an altogether disagreeable person. He sus-
poets that dissolute English nobleman has
ruined his sister and kills the Englishman.
The murder is witnessed by the victims sis
ter. who is thereupon hypnotized and married
by the murderer, and made to believe that
her brother was killed by her real lover. Her
life is spent In a hypnotic state which Is
very awkward for her, but her husband loses
his power over her and Is betrayed to the
police. He takes poison and dies.

character continually reminded one of Sven
gall. The veteran Couldock, who was in the
cast. received an ovation when he appeared
in the minor part Of Squire Fenton, and
Marie Wainwright was much applauded as
the hypnotic subject. The audience warmly
applauded Mr.. Laekaye's acting
