of the much talked of Tolstoi play, THE
Resurrection" at the Victoria, the first
production of the play in America, made
by Oscar Hammerstein and Wagenhals
and Kemper.
The central figure in the play is that
of Maslova, played by Miss Blanche
Walsh.
The plot of the play rehearses tragic.
heartrending story, which because II
will apply in its commonplace outlines
to every race and every country is
robbed of much of it's horror. The story
runs briefly as follows:
Prince Dimitri, a young officer in the
Russian army, while on visit to two
maiden aunts at their chateau, bet-cys
Katusha, a young woman, half servant
and half companion to his relatives.
whom he had known three years before
when as boy and girl they had formed
an innocent attachment for each other.
The incident is forgotten until years
after Dimitri finds Katusha as Maslova,
a woman of ill-repute condemned to
penal servitude in Siberia. Conscience
stricken he follows her thither and after
many strange experiences effects her
moral resurrection"
The play is handsomely staged and Is
attracting much attention.

who opposed and defeated the Payle

who are still opposing the measure is
Senator Scott of West Virginia, who
thinks that any reciprocity treaty is
the first break in the protection wall
and that not only the Cuban but the
other reciprocity treaties should be de

we make concessions to Cuba the is
