thusiasm. 1t will be seen here for the
first time at the Los Angeles theate-

pervision of the author.
The play is in four acts and six scenes.
It's theme is the heroism of woman's
love, and the story is, though simply
and directly told, one of constant ac-
ton, exciting incidents and cumulative
interests. The characters. twenty
in number, are said to be strongly indi-
vidualized and typically American. The
locality in which the action occurs is a.

land. The scenic setting so fthe exterior
of the old church. Col. Thorpe's head
quarters in the vestibule of the church,
and the belfry, in which the strongest
dramatic scene Of the play occurs, are
unusually picturesque and effective.

enough of the romantic to soften what
ever abruptness there may be in its re-
alism brings forward a Southern girl
