GOOD SHOW TONIGHT
VIM Nsnkeville's Human Hearts" at the OPP.
era House Tonight.

The forthcoming annual visit of
"Human Hearts" will no doubt be
warmly welcomed by the lovers of all
that is good in melodrama. Human
Hearts is beyond questi one of the
strongest and most interesting plays
that has ever visited our city The
author belongs to that all too small
group of dramatists who understand
how to reach the heart and hold the
attention of an audience. In "Huma
Hearts" he has constructed play
that will never grow old. The princi
pal theme of the play Is Hope, has not
some author written, "Hope springs
eternal 10 the human breast" Hope,
the one bright ray OF sunshine, that
breaks through and ilumines the
clouds of despair that almost over
whelm poor Tom Logan. The hope of
a good. pure woman's love; the hope
of brighter days ;the hope OF an honest
man unjus,ly ccused ofcr!me, that the
criminal will be detected an his good
anne restored The author has hand
led this subject with the consummate
skill and ease that shows true dram
attic instinct The love interest is all
absorbing The comedy interest is in
troduced in such way that 1t becomes
relevant to the story, and the climax
es are worked out naturally and log
ically.
"Humau Hearts" will be seen at the
Opera House this evening.
