to have made most extraordinary
hit in the big revival of Paul Kau-
var Steele Mackaye's spectacular

work, with its alluring story, its splen-s
did characters, it's elaborate settings,

being inconsistent A company of

to represent the mob scenes. Next
week, in pursuance of Manager Wood

cent Eastern successes which has not
