THE World Against Her." a play in
which Kate Claxton made one of her most
conspicuous successes, will be presented
opening this afternoon, by agnes Wallace
Villa, an actress who has been a popular
star for a number of years. The COM
pany is said to be one of adequate strength.
The play tells the story of a wife suspected
by her husband of Inconsistency, owing to
the ingenuity of a villain. and abandoned
to face the cruelty and scorn of the
world. Her struggles to save her child
and her misadventures in London, alone
and helpless. are graphically told.
Throughout it all she remains pure and
the part of the wife with natural tender
ness and womanly grace. The play is in
i've acts, all of which are arranged In the
English meiodramatic style. to secure
change of scene and picturesque contrast,
and every act ends with a proper crisis
or situation. The points of special inter-
est TO the audience were the scene Of the
meeting of husband and wife when the
husband comes to take away the child;
the attempted abduction of the child on the
highway by the HUSBAND S agents, and
the rescue by a kindly Snowman and his
wife. The great scene of the play is, how
ever, In the last act when the husband and
the villain come together at last and have
a square standup fight from the shoulder.

numbers for a military band. The synop-

on the same day. h music describes it
as follows: The morning breaks calm and
peaceful: the huntsmen prepare for the
chase; they jump in their saddles and the
bugler for one party sounds a merry blast,
which is answered in the distance by the
bugler of the other party. The parties Join
and sing their hunting song: The road is
dogs. cracking of whips. etc. as the hunts
men hasten on their way to the place of
the chase. The arrival. III huntsmen
cry "tally-ho" to urge on their hounds.
