{ful production, rtverently played, timely
staged and beautifully costumed, filled
with interest and so relastic that once
seen it can never be forgotten. The
prayer scene by the Apostle Peter In the
third act is 80 beautiful in its simplicity
that nothing can exceed the intense de-
votional stiffness with which 1t is re-
