new entertainment; the entire summer has
been given up to rehabiitating it, But one
scene OF last years has been retained, that
Of the first scene in the third act, the
farmyard. The rest is entirely new.
One of the most dramatic scenes in the
play is the escape Of Leander across the
chasm OF death on horseback: he is seen
riding toward the dangerous spot miles
away, gradually coming nearer and nearer
At length he approaches the mighty chasm,
but he !alters not; with one gigantic leap

horse and rider appear TO go down. down
to the yawning abyss that awaits them
below Just as horse and rider seem to
disappear Leauder makes a superhuman
effort and jumps from the back of the
horse TO the opposite rocks, clutching a
tangle of roots, pulling himself into safe
position, just as his pursners baffled, ap-

Fallen Among Thieves Thomas H.
Davis and William Z. Keogh's new scenic
production for this season, which comes
contribution to contemporaneous Ameri-
can drama. 1t is by Frank Harvey, of
London, author OF The Wages of Sin,'
Woman Against Woman and other sue
cessful plays. I is a powerful story OF
county and city life, in Vermont and in
New York, andis said to possess the faculty
Of touching the hearts OF the people and
channel Of homely pathos, while through
it all there rDples vein of the most re-
fined and exquisite comedy.
No expense has been spared to properly
present this play All of the thrilling
realism of the modern drama, and the
superb scenic production of the joint art
of the scene painter and stage carpenter,
are brought to bear upon the imagination
There is sensation, too, in scene showing
High Bridge, New York, where heroic
! woman dives headlong from the top into
the river to save the drowning victim or
heartless villainy.
But it is not that it is produced with
superb stage settings, extraordinary 1ea-
lures, a strong company and in popular
house. 1t is the power of the plot THIS
is not only of intense dramatic interest, but
has woven about it very skilluiiy, the
semblance of actual life, and by reason OF
this, readily appeals TO the appreciation
of all classes.
