DRAMA

The Noble Theater company pre-
sented Michael Strogoff' at the
armory Monday night to a good house.
As was stated in these columns the
play was one of the most magnificent
dramas ever presented to the theate,
soers of this city. The plot was laid
in the land but little known and car
I'D the audience to scenes that are
and novel. Mr.. Warren
- the carrier Of a message from
Ar to his brother was one of the
heroic characters ever presented
Ne stage. His oath Of fidelity,
pledge to his country, the refusal
o recognize his mother and kindred
because of this fidelity to his country
We're presentations for the noblest
characteristics of the human heart.
His capture by the Tcrtars, his trial
by the Koran, the soaring Of his eyes
by the captors, his restoration to sight
and to his mother, the undoing Of the
traitor Van Ogarett and the delivery
Of the message to the Grand Duke, con
stituted a story that both entertained
and thrilled the listener. The Orien.
tai splendor of the Tartar prince and
the fanaticism Of the people We're
magnificent presentations of the real
life of that benighted country. But
the play was not all drama. The
American correspondent with the
usual push, nerve and gall Of that
class. and the Englishman in the
same business but always behind,
made fun enough for a years laugh.
The contempt of the American for the
officers, and the final bluff Of the
Tartar prince by a union of England
ami America made a story that reused
the highest enthusiasm.
The scenery was magnificent, and
carried ont the very plot of the play.
The magniticence of the cars palace,
the inland lakes, set IN their mountain
borders, the humble cottage amid the
snow covered Mills Of Siberia, the
quaint Old court in the Tartar city,
We're true to life. The intervals be
tween the acts were enlivened by The
VERY best music. The orchestra and
band are both high class and the com.
pany is the largest and strongest that
has evel appeared in this city.
Tonight the company presents that
world renowned drama from Dumas,
The Count of Monte Cristo.' Re

prove especially dangerous and moth
