An Ancient Civilization Buried I'm

An Ancient Civilization Buried I'm
der Sea of Sand.
In an interview with Reuters repre-
sentative DIR. M. A. Stein, who is return
Ing to India this week after making a
preliminary arrangement of the remark
able finds brought to light during his re-
cent expedition in Chinese Turkestan
said that the cursory examination that
has so far been possible within the short
time available reveals in a striking man
ner and for the first time many points
bearing on the culture and daily life of
localities which for many centuries-some
for nearly 2,000 yearS-have been buried
under sea of sand, and whose history
has hitherto been practically a blank.
Speaking on this point, DR.. Stein said:
"a full investigation Of the sculpture,
fresco painting, objects of industrial art
and seals, etc., which were dug out of
the temples and dwelling houses Of sand
buried sites will help us to resuScitate
the civilization of region which has
played an important part in history as
the link between ancient China, India
and the classical West. Now for the
first time have been brought to light
some aspects of the everyday life, the
home industries and arts of the inhabi-
tants of the village and settlements of
Chinese Turkestan which We're aban-
doned in the early centuries after the
beginning of the Christian era, and have
since been buried under the moving sand
dunes. AS showing the extent to which
the desert has advanced, may say that
some of the settlements I excavated are
situated fully a hundred miles beyond
the edge Of the present cultivated area.
The great lifeless desert is naturally re-
garded with much superstition by the
people who live in the scanty settlements

children of his fancy. The period OF the
play is one which is replete In romance,
foc the entire action Of the play takes
place in California at the time when
the state was overrun with adventurous
seekers for the golden wealth under the
turf and in the rocks up in the noun
tains The character of the heroine is
beautiful one and one which has Deen
extremely drawn. When she is first seen,
she is little better than q school girl,
the pet of the entire camp, and her de-
votion to her drunken father is beauti-
full. The dawning of her love for the
schoolmaster is also charmingly depict
ed as is her alteration for the big stage
driver, Yuba Bill Yet, while the love
Interest predominates, the play is
most dramatic one and there is nothing
but action from the first until the final
curtain. All of the characters are well
known There is the ignorant Justice
of the peace, whose knowledge OF the
law is more limited than that of the
ordinary boy; there is the travelling ac-
tor manager, ever ready to amuse the
miners with anything in the gamut OF
things theatrical from Hamlet" to
song and dance. His exterior Is rough
but his heart is as true as steel, and.
there is breeZineSS about him that makes
him altogether delightful Inc scnooi-
master is another delightful and clever
character type. IN Liss" is said to be
put upon the stage more handsomely
than it ever has been, the production be-
ing entirely new throughout. The COM
pany is an exceptionally capable one. The
title role will be played by that charm
ing Coincidence, Nellie McHenry, and the
cast will include H. B. Bradley. as 9uba
Bill; Frank Dayton, F. A. Wellington,
Raymond Finlay; l.. ]. Loring, Ida Rock
and Lottie Burke.
AS different scenes of the play are laid
in the picturesque mining regions of
California, ample opportunity is afforded
the scenic artist for a series of beauti-
ful stage pictures. A feature of the pro-
duction will be the use of a historic old
stage drawn by four horses which comes
tearing down the mountain side, driven
by Yuba Bill, thrilling and realistic
stage picture.
