"soRRows OF SATAN"
Decentralization of Marie COrellrs
Novel at the Grand.

Love of the dramatic element has been
natural in the human race since time
was young. The most widely read novels
are those that are strongest in the dra-
matte element such as "Phroso," 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda' "a Tale of Two Cit
les" and a score of others that have
been the theatrical successes of the past
few seasons. The latest of these in
tensely dramatic works of fiction to be
prepared for the stage is Marie Corelli' g
Sorrows of Satan,'' originally produced
with great success at the SALISBURY
theater, London, and now for the first
time touring this country. It's story is
not only dramatic in the extreme, but
audaciously novel and original. Certain
ly nothing has appeared in recent fic-
ton more dramatic or unique than this
figure of Satan, a distinct personality,
living on earth, scrupulously modern in
his dress, received by men as a mortal
like themselves, yet realizing himself
that he is the "Son of the Morning. .
