A Charming Play on Martyrdom

"Martyre," M. Jean Richepins new five
act play, which was produced at the Come
die Franchise last week at cost of some
thing like $15,0O0 has been received with
enthusiasm in Paris. The correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette says of 1t:
1.-THE essential part of the story may be
told in almost as many words as the piece
has acts. Flammeola Mime. Bartet) is
wealthy Roman patrician lady who falls
in love with Johannes. the Christian apos-
tie. The cult of Eros struggles with the
new faith. Zythopanes prophesies that
Eros will triumph. But in the end johann
mes is true to his apostolic vow, in spite of
temptations leading twice to the brink of
crime, and in the presence of his martyr
dom Flammeola, dying from the sword
stroke of the jealous gladiator, is converted
to the truth and receives baptism in her
own blood from her lovers hands.
1.-THE scenery is not only superb, but his
torically interesting-from the lovely Ro-
man garden in which the play opens to
the final scene, when the great gates OF the
Roman amphitheater are thrown open and
Johannes (M. Mounet Sully) is discovered
under the binding glare of the cloudless
blue sky Of Rome. suspended. bleeding and
agonizing from his martyrs cross. Nor are
the other scenes, the popine, or dramshop
of the period, with it's crowd of ragged GUS
toners, and the interior of Flammeolas
palace less charming. The most laborious
erudition has been at work in this delight
full work Of reconstruction"
(From the foregoing description It Ii diff
ficult to see where the Charming and
delightful scenes come in)

hensive title of new book on the drama

Following the examples of many other
novelists, Beatrice Harraden has decided
to write play. She has sketched out her
plot and created her characters with a
special view, 1t is said, to the requirements
of Ellen Terry. Whether or not consump-
ton Is to be the motive of the work Is not
stated.
A new farcical comedy by George r.
Sims and Leonard Meyrick has been pro-
cuced in the London Royalty theater. 1t is
called "My Innocent Boy" and Sydney
Drew is the principal male performer.
The new play which Messrs. Parker ana
Carson have written for Olga Nethersoie

Among the latest theatrical productions
in London are two farces, 1.-THE Club Baby"
and Shadows on the Blind both Of

ing from current comment, to be equally
silly and Objectionable.

sells stage reputation has been founded
upon her ability as displayed in ingenue
characters. The New York Post says:
Miss Russelrs dramatic aptitude and ver-
satllity were alredy we'll known. She would
be intelligent and attractive, doubtless, as
Lady Macbeth. She knows how to act. and
she could give graphic object lessons in act
ing all sorts Of roles, old women and comic
chambermaids as well as ingenues, and
even old men and hobbledehoys. 1t is per-
fectly true, Also, that many persons who
are conspicuous on the stage, with great
pecuniary profit to themselves, and un-
bounded JOY to the community, do not know
much about acting and are not capable of
learning. Miss Russeli's future career, how
ever, if 1t is to be as notable as 1t should
be, will not be concerned with such roles as
murderous adventuresses."

Chicago, March 2i.-At the meeting
of the Methodist Ministerial associa-
ton today the Rev. John Lee, chair
man, read a report of the committee
on religious liberty for Professionals in
South America. The reports stated
that the committee was greatly en-
couraged. The committee. 1t was
stated, asks nothing more for the
Protestants in these South American
republics than is cheerfully accorded
to Roman Catholics"
Letters had been addressed to
prominent men in various parts of
Christendom stating the acts of the
committee and Il large number of re-
plies had been received.
Among them was one from cX-Presi-
dent Cleveland. who wrote: 81 am an
advocate of the largest liberty to all
people of our own land and am
strongly In favor of any movement
having for its object the perfect secur-
ity and absolute freedom in the South
American states of people sojournins
or residing there. The demand for
such freedom, II seems to me, Is only
reasonable and just"
Ex- President Harrison replied: Ger
tainly the religious liberty which is now
universally given by Protestant coun-
tries to citizens and residents of the
Roman Catholic faith calls for recip-
rocal treatment in Roman Catholic
