The intense feeling OF the r.,

The intense feeling OF the Rus
sian people for the requirements
of social position, AMI their sub
servience to the law of caste, is
finally exempliied, according to
all accounts, in the Russo-Siber-
ian play "For Her Sake,'' which
will be seen at the local theatre
the evening of Saturday, Sept 20.
The heroine of the play is serf
girl.
The serfs were formally manu.
mitted in 1861, the Russian slaves
becoming free a short time be-
fore the black slaves of the United
States were freed by Lincoln; but
it was a long time before the
Russian peasants ceased to be
slaves, or serfs; in fact, Olga, the
serf girl of the play in question,
has been brought up in the house
hold of noble Russian family,
and the son of the house, prince
of the blood, has fallen in love
with her. Opposition to the
match is made by his mother, the
princess, and the plot is further
complicated by the Vaccinations
of a Russian secret service agent
who is at the same time a nihilist,
and who is an hereditary enemy
of the princess family. He weaves
about the young prince plot that
results in sending him, as we'll as
the serf girl, to Siberia, and there
is a dramatic scene in one of the
Siberian mines. The production
as whole bears the mark of lib
eral aud intelligent management,
and the fact that it is to be pre-
sented here at popular prices
ought to insure it welcome from
a crowd that will test the capacity
of the theatre. Prices, SO, IS, 25.

The Carpenter Company.

1t is announced that the power
full Russian melodrame, "For Her
Sake will be presented at the To-
cal theater Saturday evening Sept
20. This is the same piece which
has been creating such stir in
theatrical circles lately. Indeed
the play has scored such notable
triumph that the critics have en-
deavored to discover the cause of
its popularity, and have advanced
numerous reasons why the perfor-
mances are SO we'll attended. The
real secret of the plays success,
however, as in all truly great
dramas, is the sublime simplicity
and truthfulness of the character
drawing. This, with the sumptu-
GUS setting of the piece, and the
grandeur and beauty of the NOV
ing story, combine to make the
play work which at once takes
rank with any Russian play yet
written.
The theatergoer of today de-
mands that the soberest of themes
be relieved by the lighter touches
of comedy. 1t is reported of the
dramatist of the Russo-S Siberian
play, "For Her Sake" that he has
not been unmindful of this fact.
The comedy of the play is said to
be natural and original. Prices
rs, IS and so cents.
