For Her Sake.

Sergius Stepniak, the famous nibilist,
political propagandist and refugee, who
several years ago toured this country as
lecturer, supplemented on the platfor IN
many Of the narrowing details OF the
story told in his famous book, "Under-
ground Russia" Through the efforts OF
Stepniak and others OF his sort, the dra-
matte quality in the life OF the Russians
has become pretty well known to the
people Of the western hemisphere, and
there have been two or three dramatists
that have been able to profit by the fact.
A widely successful Russo-Siberian play
was michael Strogoff.' Now there is
new one, and it is coming this way.
"For Her Sake is the title OF the lat
est OF the plays having to do with Rus.
sian high life, with the moving sorrows
OF serfdom and the narrowing experience.
es OF life in the Siberian convict mines.
"For Her Sake is credited with possess.
ing an element which its predecessors
lacked and which doubtless more than
anything else has contributed to its
phenomenal success with theatergoers.
It has the comedy element clearly and
consistently ingrained In it's plot, and it
is said to be high class OF comedy. The
play willbe seen at the Opera House on
Monday evening, September 8.
