tragedy Theodore" are the attractive OF
fering at English's Opera House the first
three days OF the current week, beginning
tomorrow night and including a popular
priced matinee Wednesday. The times Of
JustinIan. in which the Incidents OF the
drama transpire. offer an abundance OF
material for dramatization. The central
interest OF the plot Is the double charac-
ter Of the Empress. Theodore Being OF
low birth and rearing. the empress has
never lost her love OF freedom and excite
ment: and when. as empress. she would
become surfeited with regal pomp and
ceremonial stiffness. she beguiled herself
with the favorite pastime OF the MOBILES
masquerading the common haunts OF Rome
n disguise. While on one Of these trips.
Theodore meets and falls in love with
Andreas, a man OF comparatively low rank.
The popular hatre.l Of Emperor Justinian
and his Empress Theodore are from time
to time fomented by fresh outrages, and
a conspiracy is formed 10 kill the emperor.
Theodore learns Of this plot through her
intimacy with Andreas, the latter being
ignorant OF her lofty station. She frus-
trates the conspiracy. but saves Andreas.
who has been selected as one OF the chief
actors In the plot. When he discovers that
the girl he has adored has play ed the ig-
noble role OF spy, his indignation knows
no bounds. Still In darkness IS TO her
identity, Andreas insults the empress in
the arena, is wounded and brought be-
fore her for execution. JuStinian SEN

she can get from the dying man nothing
but revsling. Finally Theodore gives him.
I'm mistake for a love potion, a cup or
poison intended for the emperor, and thus
kills her lover. she herself is beheadej
by order of Justinian as q reward Tor her
sacrifices for Andreas.
Mrs. Bruno has shown by her splendid
work in this intense play that she has
the requisite qualities for the higher levels
OF the stage. Her powers are taxed more
and more as the scenes progress. AT first

even for abatement of his detestation.
Mr. im~personates Andreas, the
rlebeian lover; Mr.. Hudson Liston Is the
Emperor Justinian, and Mr.. Clarence Nj.
Bruno portrays Marcellus. The staging
and special scenes are said to be on a scale
or unusual splendor. The htppodrome
representation OF the Sea of La Marmora
is also declared to be beautiful and pic
turesque. Mrs. Bruno displays some elab-
crate and becoming costumes.

"The Sorrows of Satan" dramatized from
Marie Corelli's novel of the same name,
produced under the direction Of William A.
Brady. will occupy the Park Theater the
first half of the current week, beginning
with a matinee tomorrow afternoon. In
her remarkable story of the devil on earth.
Miss Corelli has made him truly a fallen
angel. Her conception of Satan as a NOR
tai is startling in its originality and striking
in its plausibility. 1t was inevitable that
such a novel. translated into almost every
spoken language and read in this country
TO the extent of something like a million
copies, containing many unique and inter-
esrfng characters, and crowded with situa-
tons of the most intensely ramati ma
ture. should be turned at once into form
suitable for stage presentation. The wis
dom of its adaptation for this purpose was
amply demonstrated by the extraordinary
run of the piece at the Shaftesbury TheaJer
in London. The Brady production, which
Is coming to the Park, is the only one in
this country, and has proven an excellent
piece of dramatic property. The play re-
quires a cast of more than ordinary ability,
for Miss Corellrs characters are never
commonplace, and scenery of the most eX-
pensive kind, since the devil, during his
earthly sojourn, is received into London's
most gorgeous palaces, and, in his turn,
astonishes even royalty by the splendor
of his receptions and fetes. The play has
been seen here before, and therefore the
richness of its settings need not be recount
ed. 1t will readily be recalled as one of
last seasons most brilliant offerings at the
Park. Miss Emily Dodd still heads the
feminine part of the cast. and gives ner
