at The opera house March 13 Man
ager r. G. Crarcin will present Will
son Barrett s world famous religious
drama, "The Sign of the Cross,'
with massive and gorgeous spectacul-
ar features and a masterful repres-
entation of the heart stirring nara
tive Of the trials Of the early Chris
tians in the vice ridden reign of Nero
i'll Rome.
This play is unique in having for
years captivated theatre goers and
those who are usually classed as non-
Neutrality-suspicious. whom religious
convictions or prejudice had formerly
kept aloof from the playhouse. The
scenes Of extravagant luxury Of the
Rome court are shown in richest col
ors and the many thrilling incidents
of the persecution and martyrdom of
the Christians and the final triumph
of the beautiful Christian maiden
Mercia over her Pagan admirer, Mar.
