gives him food for thought. While the
spectator is listening to the text of the
play, mis- visual sense is being attracted
by seeing the scenes enacted before his
eyes, that are being described in the
words to which he is listening
In such a play as Human Hearts"
which will be shown at the opera house
next Saturday, matinee and night the
contrast between virtue and vice Is
sharply drawn. The autho has not
minced matters in drawing his charac-
tiers, and as the Incidents of the play
are based on real cceurances, he has not
had to draw upon his imagination TO
invent motive for "Human Hearts"
The characters Of Jeanette and Fred
erick Armsdale in Human Hearts"
should be carefully studied by every
one. We meet their prototypes in daily
life, in nearly all large communities How
often do we see men and women who.
with all the advantages of education,
comfortable homes, and the loving care
Of parents and friends, still go astray,
and sink lowr and lower in the social
scales, until they reach the lowest
depths of degradation. We meet theH
every day.
Another novel character drawing in
this play is that Of Jem Mason; man
born amidst the lowest surroundings
with no advantage in early life, know
ing nothing Of the difference between
right and wrong; criminal because he
has had no opportunities to be anything
else. But here Is character that con
spires to better things. The inherent
Instinct to raise himself above the
level of his surroundings is lying dor
Insnt, but, when the realization Of the
difference between right and wrong Is
Brought home to him, he chooses the
proper path.
