METROPOLITAN
First Half Week-"The Law
and the Man"

wv 1ILTON LACKAYE has been
W. warmly congratulated on his
dramatic version of Victor
Hugo's famous masterpiece "Les Mis-
erables,' which comes to the Metro
politan operahouse tonight for an en-
gagement of five performances.
This will be Mr.. Lackaye's first local
appearance as an actor playwright. The
star has followed the story closely and
in many instances the dialogue is that
of Hugo himself. The piece is pro-
logue and four acts, opening with Fan
tine and her companions on an outing
at an inn short distance from Paris.
This serves to introduce Cosette, the
heroine. The next scene shows Jean
Vatican in the home Of Bishop Wei
come at Diton and the famous robbery
and gift of the silver candlesticks with
the admonition, 81 have bought your
soul and given it to God.'
The dramatic situa tions and climaxes
follow each other with great rapidity.
Famine is saved from prison by Jean,
then known as Mayor Madeleine of
Meme, while the next is the big scene
of the piece and shows the court room
at Arras, where the mayor, after sit
ting by the side Of the trial Judge,
hears "Jean Vatican, ex-convict, dan
gerous. The struggle of the real man
with himself as to whether he shall
reveal his identity and be sent to the
hulks at Toulon for life, is said to be
one of the strongest pieces of acting
Mr.. Lackaye has ever done. The SEN
sation when the accused is liberated
and the mayor admits his identity is
terrific. 81 --~-' s.,:@
The next act shows the capture and
escape Of Jean, then known as NJ. La
Blanc, from the garrett Of the Thenar-
dlers, just as Javert, the bulldog in
spector of police, enters the door.
The dramatic intensity of the piece
Is relieved by the death Of Famine and
the beautiful love. story of Marius and

Sponge Fishing in Florida Waters.

Until about a year ago, says tho
Scietiic American, sponge fishing in
Florida was all done by the use of poles
with three-pronged hooks attached at
an end, and the sponging operations
were necessarily confined to shallowish
water, the depth varying from fifteen
to thirty feet. About year ago,
ployed in one Of the sponge packing
houses, tried the experiment of diving
for sponges, and this method Of secur-
ing them was attended with such good
results that diving for them has now
become common method of sponge
fishing. Do you know that golden grain,
belt beer is the ideal home beveragef
It is a liquid bread-pure, wholesome
and nourishing.
