House in wagerhals and Xemper's pro-
duction OF Resurrection" as seen during
It's four months run at the Victoria thea
tre. New York. The play will be presented
here with a great cast and the entire mas
sivs scenic production. Local interest In
the event as was to be expected, Is very
keen, applications for seats through the
mails have already been sufficiently nu-
merous 20 guarantee a crowded house.
Technically speaking. Resurrection" Is
a melodrama, but not a melodrama in the
general accepted sense. There Is not note
that rings false, no gallery heroics. no
rlaudlin sentiment The play Is more pow
erful In the moral lesson IL teaches than
anything which has preceded II and offers
an almost unenswerable argument 10
those who would belittls the theatre az an
institution, that II can be made as great
an influence for good even as the church
itself. Playgoers here and elsewhere who
seek something moro than trivial amuse-
ment, something that makes the heart
throb and the brain think, something
which will Yield new flights to the mag
ination, will flock in crowds TO see this
tremendous drama. The engagement here
is for three nights only and Wednesday
matinee.
At the Pawtucket Keith theatre next
week. the Pawtucket Albee Stock COM
pany will appear In Haddon Chambers In
tense drama. Captain Swift" This play
which In atmosphere and theme greatly
suggests "Rafrles" In which Kyrle Bel
lew appeared with such marked success
In New York last season, was one OF the
bigeests hits OF the original Providence
Albee Stock company az the local Keith
theatre three years ago. Miss Lisle Leigh
will appear In the strong emotional role
OF Mrs Seabrooke in which she scored
such a distinct personal triumph in the
Providence Albee company's production.
| On Tuesday afternoon. after tho matinee
