The management of the Opera House an
nounces the presentation Oh Friday ana
Saturday of THE Prisoner of Zenda, the
one great conspicuous success in the realm
of modern romance as applied to the stage.
1t is a play that is on every ones lips
and one which will require no encourage
ment to take them TO the Opera House.
The widespread popularity of the mover
on which the play is founded, OF course
did very much to prepare the pubic Oh
its presentation in New York, though
as in the case of "Trilby' there were few
who believed that such a work could be
made successful on the stage. The Prls-
oner Of Zenda." however. not only scored
one of the biggest successes New YORK
has known in recent years, but seems TO
have opened a new fled in dramatic work
at the same time-or rather TO have re-
opened an old and almost forgotten one
that of the romantic play. The play fol-
lows the story quite closely, the main dif-
ference being the addition Of a prologue
happening one hundred and fifty years
prior to the action of the story and Civ
ing some explanation of events which are
merely limited at in the book. The dra-
matization was made by Edward Rose.
