AT THE THEATERS
Lyceum-aEedora.U


5 Honors are about evenly divided be-
tween Florence Stone, as Princess Fedora,
and Louis Stone as Lorris Ipaneff, in Sar-
dou's great tragedy, Fedora at the Ly-
ceum theater this week, SO carefully is
each character portrayed
i Miss Stone finds Fedora role much to
her liking, and the vindictiveness of the
Russian princess in her search for the
slayer of her fiance is well within her
grasp. She is particularly strong in that
scene where she tells Jean de Sirieux that
she loves Ipanoff and hopes that he will
not prove to be the murderer, but if he
is guilty she will laugh at his execution,
Again, when she finds that the tragedy,
which she has sworn to avenge, instead OF
being a nihilist plot is but the avenging OF
personal honor, she effectually reaches the
audience. 7%Sa q.
Mr.. Stone, on the other hand, has been
kindly dealt with by nature, which gave
him good face and fine voice
Just such a face and voice as
one would expect in the banished
nobleman. The fine sentiments shown
by Ipanon naturally would be ex-
pected from one like Mr.. Stone and he
has thorough understanding Of the pos.
s1bilittes of the part. His reception last
night was enthusiastic and highly com
plimentary. 81
For the play itself little need be said
To those who like tragedy of hectic
sort, it satisfies. Some of the situations
are hard to understand, but that does no
detract from the entertaining qualities O
the production. Taken all in all "Fe
dora" is production of merit.

ultimate Victory"

There is very large reasonable
doubt about that ultimate victory
in looking forward to which the Rus
slams find solace after each defeat;
and that doubt has grown enormously
within the past week.
Since the war began friends of Rus
STA have been foretelling and foes have
been fearing the ultimate triumph Of
the Slav. A common belief in the
might of the cars empire to over
match the resources and genius of the
mikado's little realm has been the
basis for this confidence on the one
hand and anxiety on the other. But
now the fear of Japan's friends has
turned to hope, even faith, and, tho
the pro-Russian may not have lost
faith in the ultimate victory of his
side, he realizes that beyond all aues-
ton such a victory has been pushed
far forward into the future.
This faith in the final outcome, this
trust in the triumph Of mere mass,
will In itself aid in bringing disaster
to Russian arms. Indeed, the sub
lime confidence, of the czar's Off
GERS and soldiers in the final outcome
has already worked mischief. Hard
ly a defeat has been suffered that has
not been followed by the comment
that the Russians take the matter
philosophically, finding comfort in the
hope of ultimate victory" over the
Japanese. The moral effect of this
attitude could hardly be other than
detrimental to the cars cause.
Apparently the soldiers place their
