PoNr1FF IN ME1oDRAMA.
Pope Figures on the Stage in Latest
Religious Drama.

Much of the so-called intensity in the
latest drama, 1.-The Eternal City" by
that master charlatan. Han Caine,
arises from the fact that the hero.
David Rossi, who becomes the husband
of Donna Roma. is made the son of a
pope. His son having been lost in child
hood. and his wife having died. the
father. went into the priesthood and
finally reached the throne of st. Peter.
Rossi returns to Rome in manhood, be-
comes a member of the chamber OF
deputies, and leads the anti-papal party
Thus the situation is brought about of
son against father, neither at first real
izing the relationship. though the pope
suspects it. The pope's duty, as he
sees it, is to bring Rossi to Justice In
one of the scenes the pontifr oersuades
Roma to betray ROssi for his own good
and the safety of the people.
Pope-Where does your husband come
from and who was his father?
Roma-I1e was born IN Rome, but ne
does not know who his father was.
Pope-What is he like to look upon?
Roma-He is LIKE have never seen
anyone so like-Will your holiness for
Pope-say what you please. my
daughter.
Roma-I have never seen anyone SO
like the holy father.
Pope-Suppose it were possible for you
to hinder the evil consequences follow
ing in his revolutionary train. Would
you do it?
Roma-I am woman, holy father.
What can a woman do to hinder any
thing?
Pope-In the history of nations it has
sometimes happened that a woman has
been able to save life and protect So
ciety by raising little hand like this.
Roma-What would you have me do?
Pope-Deliver him to the police Tor
the crime he committed years ago.
Roma-What. You ask me to do this
to danounce David Rossi-to betray
my husband. Oh. you can't mean it,
That is what his enemies, led by that
pitiless monster. Baron Bonelli, have
been trying to force me to do, and be-
cause l have refused they have perse-
cuted me with poverty and shame. And
now, when 1 have come to you for
refuge and shelter. thinking that your
father1y arms would protect me, you
even you-oh, it is impossiblel The law
will not permit me to swear away my
husband .e1s ss3
Pope-My heart bleeds for you. my
child But an oath is not necessary to
a denunciation, and even if so, the law
of this unchristian land would not
recognize you as Rossi's wife
Roma-I cannot believe you ask me
this. Tiff he were-your own son, holy
father, would you ask me to denounee
him then?
