WIN. OWEN MONDAY NIGHT.

The scenic arrangement of William
Owens new romatic play "When Louis
XI Was King" in which he will be seen
at the Alma opera house on Monday
evening, is most varied and romantic.
The 10th century style of Flemish,
French and Burgundian architecture
has been carefully studied and the gen.
eral effect that has been thus obtained
is most picturesque. The prologue and
last act both transpired in the gorgeous
audience chamber Of Charles the Bold
of Burgundy. The first act shows the
Fleur de Liss Inn, favorite haunt Of
Louis XI, seated in dense forest near
the historic castle Of Plessis, the famous
castle itself showing in the distance.
Act second lies in the court yard OF
Priory of st Dominic, the old priory
forming the background, surrounded by
old crumbling ivy covered walls. The
climax Of the scenic equipment however,
is reached in the third act which is en-.
acted in the reception hall of the palace
Of the Cardinal Bishop Of Liege. Ii is
one Of the most beautiful and effective
scenes ever produced, showing the
arched room with its canopied Cardinals
throne, its laticed window, heavy som.
bre masonry, massive bronze doors and
rich furniture all illuminated with q
myriad of candles and blazing flambeau.
A terrific electrical storm, one Of the
most realistic ever produced, RACES
without during the progress Of the act,
frightening the effect and adding to the
color and life OF the strenuous action.
The production in its entirety Is one
that any star might well be proud Of.

Without meaning to do so Gordon soon
found himself deep in discussion
with the professor over one phase OF
the social question, which one OF the
professors books had touched on--"The

Gordon disagreed totally with the

The navy department considered the

for the completion of the vessel and
also the ACCESSIBILITY of doing the work
itself at Richmond at the expense of
the SuretieS of the contractors. but
finally both plans We're rejected in ia
vOr of having the work done at the
navy yard.
Orders to that effect have now been
issued. Tbs only objection to the re-
