BurIesGue, Listed for Pre-
sentatiOn at the
Star.

Wilson Barrett's unique historical
drama, THE Sign of the Cross will be
seen at the Metropolitan tomorrow night
and through the week with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday The action of
the play occurs in Rome in the year 66
A. D., when Nero was emperor Its main
story concerns Marcus Superbus, project
of the imperial city, who, by a mandate
from Nero, is commanded to exterminate
the Christians. He falls in love with
Mercia, a beautiful Christian girl, and
rescues her from the general slaughter
Nero consents to spare her life On con-
dluon that she publicly renounce her
faith. She chooses the martyrs death in
the Roman arena. however, instead of
the worrdly-honors that would be hers
as the wife Of the pagan project. This
sublime conduct so moves Marcus that
he, too, embraces the despised faith and
goes to his doom in the amphitheater
hand in hand with the woman he loves.
The essential nobility of the theme
martyrdoml for ones reiigion-is one of
the chief reasons for the success that
has followed the play from the begin
ming of its career.
1.-The Sign of the Cross has never been
played by what IS known as a number
two" company. The piece has been tour
ing this country for the last four years
but presented by one company only-.he
one that will be seen during the COM
ing engagement Charles Dalton, who
will be seen as Marcus, has been at the
head of the organization ever since 1t
appeared at the Knicl<erbocker theater
New York, three years ago. Mr.. Dalton
physically realizes ones idea of the
Roman soldier, and is an actor of a
power and personality strongly sugges-
tive of the late John Mccullough The

countered lions, which would attack
them, or hyenas ready to snap up the
stray child wandering away from the
camp or bears of the type encountered
by the irreverent infants who apos
trophized Elisha, and also in part of
that time when the weapons of primitive
man were so feeble and of so little avail
against the wild beasts that these were
justly to be feared
This feeling already existing is en-
couraged and strengthened by a certain
amount OF the writing of the day The
average man and woman love to read a
pear or panther or wolf story not less
than do small boys and round-eyed chill
dren listen with pleasure to the tales of
some venerable uncle or grandfather who
relates the story of the wolves that used
to howl about his cabin or visit his sheep
fold when first he settled in the country
In this land Of America, as many know,
there are no such things as dangerous
animals, though there are creatures
which may be made dangerous The
wolf, the bear and the cougar are far
more anxious to- get away from man
than man is to get away from them. If
given the opportunity they will always
slip away and run, and If they fight it is
because they believe that they have been
cut off from every avenue of escape
Where an animal has been wounded it Is
a different matter Then often consid-
erations of prudence are forgotten, and
the animal acts on impulse, instead of
doing what it knows to be wise; but even
SO; there is much more danger from a
wounded deer than from a wounded pan
Their, and vastly more from wounded
moose.
But for the average man who is travel
ing through new country where wild
animals may be plenty. who stops when
he has made a days march and is at
home where night finds him, there is not
now nor ever was more danger from the
wild animals of the country than from
the lightnings which blaze in the summer
sky. Many more people have been. kill
ed by lightning than have been run over
by stan1peding buffalo herds or killed by
unwounded grizzly bears or by all the
other animals of the prairie put together.
One might almost say that more people
have been struck by falling meteorites
than have been killed by panthers or
wolves. And yet from day to day the
newspapers continue to print bear
stories, catamount stories and wolf
stories, and probably they will do so I'M
til long after the last bear, catamount
and wolf shall have disappeared.

The st. Paul Choral association held
one of its most successful rehearsals last
Tuesday evening in the dining room of
the Buckingham. Mendelsohn's "Elijah''
was rehearsed for the first time without
the music, and the result was most sat

have the chorus ready to sing the Eli

date will be fixed definitely as soon as
one or two New York artists are heard
from. Three or four out-of-town singers
will sing the principal solos The ora
