HER ATONEMENT."- T."-Charles Froh-
mans tremendous production of Anson
Ponds great American play, Her Atone
nent," will come to the National Theater
for a week, beginning Monday evening.
April II. This production, which made a
sensational triumph in the metropolis, is
on the same extensive scale as THE Sport
ing Duchess" The White Heather and
other great melodramatic successes with
which Mr.. Frohmans name is identified.
1t is a big play of New York life and has
for its background scenes of places in the
the name of the empire city itself. Printing
House square, the Astor House, City Hall
Park, the Courtlandt street ferry entrance,
the Pennsylvania railroad station, Jersey
CITY, are some of the scenes. They are all
presented on an extensive scale and are
intensely and impressively realistic. The
same must be said of the two big military
parades, the crowded East river ferry boat
moving in midstream and the train of cars
rolling out of the Pennsylvania station.
The departure of New York troops for the
battlefront serves to give the hero an op-
portunity to escape his pursuers for while,
and the troops return is the occasion for
his arrest on a charge of murder. Her
Atonement' is series of heart-holdng
episodes, and it is enacted by one of the
largest and strongest companies ever seen
in melodrama. Louis T. Aldrich, Henry E.
Dixey, Orrin Johnson Annie Irish and Jes-
sic Busley are members of the organization.
Dixey plays the part of an Irish policeman.
'"TRELAWNY OF THE WELLs."-"Tre-
lawny of the Wells,'' A. W. Pinero's latest
and best effort, which he calls a comedietta
is a sincere, wholesome moral and instruct
i've play, for above the frankly enjoyed en-
terta1nment Of an unusually amusing order,
which it affords without a lapse through
out its four acts, there is. in addition to the
wit, imagination sentiment and fancy, a
philosophy born Of keen, acute and accurate
observation, giving to the play vitality
which will cause 1t to survive when other
plays are long forgotten. It will be pre-
sented at the National Theater opening
there on May l. and all the scenery. cos
tunes and accessories. together with the
people, will be seen.
