cesstul productions Of the present season and
by far the best and most powerful plays of

historical, the author w. A. Tremagne has
selected the dramatic times Of the Bourbons
when French history was filled with roman
tic and thrilling adventure and has evolved
a play of extraordinary historical interest
and picturesque surroundings, it is strongly
dramatic throughout and deals with the
period when the Lettre de Chalet was 80

upon the innocent as we'll as the guilty, by
INSCRIPTIONS favorites at court. Mr.. Man
tell is ideal In the leading role Of the Young
