pleased with the dramatization OF this
famous novel, but they will be as
founded by the really marvellous way
/ In which 1t has been transferred to the
stage In its spirit and letter, nothing
/ has been left undOne to present a per-
I iect picture Of the times and people OF

forcibly and picturesquely.
1T is, without doubt, the greatest pro-
I duction ever seen upon the American
& stage, and is fully deserving Of all the
eulogies which have been written con-
corning IL. The reverential way in
which the presence of the Savior is pre-
scented is particularly deserving of all
praise Those who are not in their seats

beautiful tabieauX in the whole play,
. namely, the appearance Of the Star of

ert. The sale Of seats opened Thursday
