Academy-"Devips island

timely and interesting dramatic nov
city is promised for tomorrow night at
the Academy of Music in the presentation
of Devils Island" play founded on the
famous case of Captain Dreyfus. who is
now serving life sentence on l. lie du Dia-
BILE, off the coast of French Guiana 1t
would be small wonder II, viewing the
sensational episodes of this affair with its
innumerable histrionic possibilities, there
were not shortly half dozen pieces on the
road with the French officer as their CEN
tral figure. Devils Island is by Vera de
Mole and Arthur ID. Hall. 1t is produced
under the direction of James H. Wallick,
who is said to have given it an elaborate
scenic investure and big cast.
Maurice de la Tour is the Captain Drey-
fus of the offering: a great fayorite with
his superors, happily married to the
daughter of his general, and. above all,
devoted patriot. He is loved by a Russian
adventures and envied by Prince Boris
Orloff. who is intended to represent Count
Esterhazy. These two plot the downfall
OF the gallant captain. The nobleman
forges the handwriting of De la Tour in
compromising letter to a German official.
The countess lets this epistle fall into the
generals hands and swears II was given
her by De la Tour. The various trials Of
the Frenchman leading to his incarceration
in steel cage on Devils Island are said to
be thrillingly depicted. Then follows the
delivery of the prisoner from DEVILS ISL
and and the re-establishment of his in
nocence before his countrymen. This is
effected by trick of the countess upon
young soldier who is infatuated with her.
The end is happy one II slightly pro-
phetic in SO far as the history of the case
is concerned.
The presenting company is presumably
one of uncommon strength and includes
such people as Emily Rigl. Vera de Noie,
William Harcourt, Ralph Delmore, Tony
West, Emile la Croix. Adelyn Wesley,
Carlton Wells, Dorothy Rossmore, Warren
Conlan. Christie MacLean, Frank Series,
Kate worthington, Fred Colby and others.
The investure of scenery and costumes is
said to be complete and the entire per-
formance should be a most enjoyable one.

Those actors who are continually la
menting at the allegation that American
theatregoers are tickle must have hard
time reconeiling their statement to the ex-
perience of Joseph Jefferson. who has been
held in affectionate regard by the last two
generations of the amusement loving.
During the greater portion OF this time he
has not broadened his repertoire beyond
four pieces. all OF which have been seen
time and again but which are so firmly
rooted In popular favor through their con-
nection with Mr.. Jefferson that no one ever
seems TO tire of them. The Intelligent and
critical never show indifference at the
work of their old favorite but rather
bestow upon him greater esteem as the
years pass by.
