good play. 1t mellows its better scenes
and preserves their attractiveness, but

tains its freshness to the last Such a
play is The Prisoner of Zenda.' STEPPED
in the most fascinating romance and
Astounding in the most dramatic cpl
sodes, it is one of the best acting plays
TO be found anywhere. 1t is as though
a page had been sharply torn from the
worlds history at time when the gal
liant enjoyed a vogue and 1t was fash
1onable to fight; when a sword was
drawn with a readiness which rendered
human life cheap, and when love was
painted in the colOrs of the rose and ev-
erything happened just as It should.
This is why the public still clings to
The Prisoner of Zenda-' and why it
made Anthony Hope a literary lion.
