The history of DR.. Zertucca's treason
in bargaining for the price of Maceo's
life-and in leading him to his death,
has, as a matter Of course, few par
allels. Judas, Churchill, Arnold and
Zertucca is the four-leaf clover Of
1000 years growth. The story, that
is as near the truth as can be learned
at the present time, of Dr. Zertuccas
lrtamy, will be told in dramatic form
in one scene of For Liberty and
Love" the new play for which Lillian
Lewis will produce on an elaborate
scale early in September. The de-
tails Of the many attempts to ar
range the assassination, and the many
attempts to carry it into effect, as
we'll as all the incidents Of the final
success Of the crime are told. Several
remarkably similar incidents with the
betrayal Of the Savior by Judas, mark
Zertueca's action, especially so in re-
gard to Maceo's trust in the Infamous
malefactor, Zertuccas' friendship and
love professions for the general, and
the generals presentiment that one Of
his staff would bring about his doom
Maceo, Zertucca, Garcia, Diaz and Ar
anguren are characters in For Lib
erty and Love"

"a Puritan Romance Is the name
of the domestic comedy laid in the
Puritan days of 1891, in the vicinity Of
Salem, Mass, in which Miss Isabelle
Evesson and Miss Estelle Clayton will
make their first joint appearance as
stars next season. It is a three-act
love story, quaint, and as the name
implies, in a measure domestic, but
for all that the comedy is strongly
romantic. The story Is plainly but
boldly told. The background of the
love story is the bigotry and fanati-
cism Of the Puritans in the seven
teenth century Many Of the char
acters are historical people, as also are
many of the incidents historical. Miss
EVesson will play Dorothy, the quaint
Clayton will play Elizabeth, her rival.
The comedy will have an early fall
production at Broadway theater.
