many regarded as Gillettes best effort
While it is a war play, it contains no ac-
tual warfare. There is sanguinary conflict
Just beyond its scenes and some of Its
characters are soldiers In fighting trim.
The action is confined to one evening in
Richmond while the historical siege Is in
progress. Two northern oficers-brothers
are there on the secret and dangerous
service of fooling the confederate COM
mander with bogus telegram, the object
being to make him uncover certain points
of the city's defense, to be captured by
union troops. The love element Is derived
from the fact that one Of the spies gives
his heart to the commandments daughter
and gets hers.
The fact that Mr. Hardee Kirkland. a
son of Gen. w. w. kirkland, and a grand
son of Mr. Noble A. Hardee. plays the
leading role, adds a local interest to the
production. Mr.. Kirkland Is an actor of
