drama, is the greatly increased in

theater-goers in dramatic produc-
lions of a semi-religious and relig-
ious nature. Among the most nota-
bic OF this class of plays may be
mentioned 1.-THE Eternal City"
John the Baptist" "Sign of the
Cross" MARY OF Magdala," ben
Hur" and "The Shepherd King.
Each OF these dramas has met with
distinct favor, not only occasioned
by the beauty and depth of the var
ious themes presented, but because,
also. there is no greater or more

gained from any source than that OF
