Madame Kalioh in PhiIadelrhia.

At the Lyric Theatre Philadelphia,
next week. Bertha Kalich. who will be
remembered hy reason of her great
success last season In "Monna Wanna, .
wi ! appear in the new English edapta-
tion By Iangdon Mitchell of Jacob Cor
dins notable Yiddish play, The
Kreutzer Sonata" Since her former
appearance as an Engish-s speaking
star, Madame Kallch, under the direc-
tion % Harrison Grey Fiske, has es-
tablished herself firmly in the esteem
of playgoers throughout the country.
Mr.. Mitchell has retained, as far as
possible. the flavor of the original
p ay, and has made t. in form and lit
erary quality. a drama that will meas
ure we'll with the best standards Of the
modern English-s speaking stage. The
scenes of the play are laid in Russia
and New York at the present time.
Miriam Friedlander. the heroine, a
Jewess. having been dishOnured among
her people by her love for Christian
-an officer i'm the Russian army-is
forced by her father to marry a jew
ish musician OF "a social grade far be-
meath her own, and to emgrate with
him 20 America where they estab sh
"a studio I'm New York. Almost imme-
diately the husband, Gregor. assuming
towards his wife sneering attitude o.
superiority taunts her with the fact
that her child David, Is illegiumate. In
order TO make amends TO her father for
the disgrace she has brought upon the
family and for the sake of her son,
Miriam endures the misery Of her life
with Gregor. Gradually, however the
situation becomes intolerahle because
of the fact that she realizes that her
husband is in love with her sister Celia.
She faces, day after day, a condition
that upon one word from her would
be transformed into tragedy for
those she loves The nobility Of the
character lies in the forutude with
which she keeps silent but at the same
time the st-ain Of keeping silent wears
upon her brain, and giNdually brWgs
insanity upon her.
The role of Miriam is one that brings
forward the very best emotional powers
/. of Madame Kalich and the play has a
human interest that appeals 70 every
one. The actress is supported this year
by an exceptionally strong company
which includes Theodore Roberts
George s. Spencer. Claus Bogel, George
S. Christie. Adele Block, Jennie Reif-
farth, Mary +. Barker. Josephine Flor
ence Shepard Josephine Victor and
Gladys Hulette.
