similarly successful plays, finally found

performance of Dick Heldar, the blind war

career. and in the character of Maisie his

The production of Hamlet" which will

twenty-six years old and campaigning in
Italy. She has intercepted letter from
France telling that his wife is dsloyal in
his absence. Nearly all the hour is spent
in a verbal fight for possession of that i'm
portant letter, he alternately bullying and
cajoling her, she defying and bedeviling
him, till they decide to burn it and so de-
stroy the scandal. The salient thing in
Shaw's piece is a delineation of Bonaparte
before he had more than headed himself
for the throne of France. The wit of the
writing is keen and it carries some satire
of England, but the novelty lies in the un-
familiar Bonaparte. French histories and
novels give many accounts of his exploits
in love and war while he was a fighting
general abroad and before he became a die
tator at home. From some of those sources
a melOdrama was put together for Edward
ii. Sothern, who made himself look like
the authentic portrait made at that period.

in a Napoleonic comic opera with some
serious tendencies, though he located the
scenes in Egypt. Arnold DAILY, who as

shows the salon of Count Wladimer, where
his fiancee. Countess Fedora Romanzon, is
waiting for her intended TO arrive from the
club After a long suspense, an officer i'm
parts the information that he has been
MORALLY wounded. and he is brought TO his
apartments. Fedora concludes that he has
been murdered and swears revenge. Sus-
picion is directed 10 Count Boris Spanon,
a friend of Wladimer. and Fedora's only
thought is TO see justice done, believing IL
to be a nihilist plot.
The second act is 10 Paris in the elegant
salon Of Countess Olga Sarkaref, friend
of Fedora, TO whom Fedora has come, as
Spanoff has arrived in the French capital.
Here the thread of the plot is spun. Fedora,
in her efforts TO unmask the murderer, falls
in love with him In wonderfully hne
scene she finally receives his confession
much TO her satisfaction. she has concluded
that Spanof is a nihilist, and believes that
Count Wladimer, as the son OF the Pc

has been enticed to her home and is caught
in her net. Fedora has hidden secret Off
GERS, who. on a sign, should take Spanon
in custody as the murderer, but Spanon, in
his confession, explains why the murder
was committed. telling that the migrate
count had misused his friendship and Sc
duced his wife. This confession is made
after Fedora had given the sign TO the
hidden officers to arrest him. She then ex-
perlences revulsion of feeling and con-
cludes to save him at the risk of her good
name.
The last act shows the solving of the ter
rible plot. The father of the murdered
| Wladmer has misused his position as chief
of police to revenge the death of his son on
the family of Spanoff, and the mother of
Spanoff dies OF grief and worry Finally
Spanon finds that the real instigator of all
these troubles Is his friend Fedora, who
realizes what she has done, and asks his
forgiveness. which is refused. She concludes
that she cannot live without him and takes
poison to end her unhappy life. The COM
