as in New York might be expected,
from the great work which inspired
it. though much credit is due to the
French playwright Henri Bataille

my own part, the sentiment which
is ever in my thoughts is that of
gratitude for the opportunity it gave
me in the character of Maslove.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Holy City

The lover of strong drama should
have witnessed the production of
"The Holy City" in the Armory
Wednesday evening. The students
of bible history and the followers of
the man Of Galilee especially should
have witnessed the play. 1t wildly
portrayed the tragedies of the times
and the crimes committed against
John the Baptist, whose only fault
was the teaching of purity of life
and heart. and against Christ, whose
power to heal the sick, to raise the
dead and TO draw the hearts Of null
titudes TO him, enraged the plotting
priests III the sanhedrin. One of the
best characters i'll the play was
Clyde B. Chillicotte, young Roman
One Of the weakest characters was
the Peter. The bible student knows
Peter as the impulsive, as the emo
tional, the man of the mountain to-
day and the valley tomorrow. But
even after the denial and resurrec-
ton of Christ, the Peter in the play
was a sort of sleepy, listless fisher
man, never on the mountain, never
in the valley.
The parts Of John the Baptist and
his mother, Elizabeth, King Herod,
Queen Herodias, Judas, Caiaphas,
Nicodemus and Mary Magdalene
were portrayed in an excellent man.

quired much force and dramatic fire

''In its Zolaesque fidelity to de-

While it discourses upon the exter-

Tolstoi, his predecessors having by
comparison no more than blazed a
track through the forest along which
the keenest moral sight can alone
find its way. In Tolstoi's apotheo-
sis of the soul and its relation to the
Maker of all things lies the tremen-
dous eloquence of his appeal. Hippo
critical cant is eliminated, truth is
put on a pedestal; the infdel and

common platform for Tolstoi's SER

wrong-doer may fear the retributive
justice Of a wrathful God, but God
is merciful. Nature, however, is in

opinion Tolstoi exploits this truth as

Resurrection to the world he has
let loose a moral force which must
earn for him the gratitude Of mod
