.THE HOLY CITY,

The theatre loving public Of this
city will soon be favored with Cor
don BENEFITS sumptuous Biblical
drama, 4The Holy City" This great
play is a distinct variation from TIE
numerous plays that will visit this
city this season. This sacred tragedy |
portrayed by competent company Of
artists reveals the life Of Christ and
John the Baptizer, as interpreted by
the Christian from the Holy Bible
and the fact alone is but honest evil
dence that the majority Of critics Of
the day cap be satisfied with the
same feeling while witnessing
play, especially when the scripture
IS wildly illustrated to them by hu-
man beings, in a manner SO impress
sive that their religious qualifications
are soon exhausted by the complete
covering of the period when Christ
was on earth. While the play from
start to finish is educating strictly
moral and above all intensely inter-
testing, the crucifxion and ascension
evokes the highest inspiration in the
flaming soul Of the audience, who by
this time have lost all sense Of the
present epoch in life. These two
scenes brong forth earnest applause
The thunder and tightening storm
during the crucifxion are forcibly
