iIndnr senlsd ordars.

There is always a peculiar charm to stories Of the Nile river and the great desert Of Sahara. We have them asso ciated in our minds With mystery, deeds of valor by brave men, treach- erous Arabs, BedoJIins of the desert, beautiful victims of the harem and all the romance of the Orient. Such a story, in dramatic form, is Under Sealed Orders, the new play that the Bennett Moulton company is offering It's patrons this season. There is cer- taAnly a wide range of possibility in this subject and that the dramatist has made the most of it we are well as sured. There is something so weird that 1t is positively creepy" in the scene where the heroine claims the sanctuary of an Egyptian tomb in or der to save her lovers life. It is a unique idea and one that never fails to rouse the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The adventures of the English cockney soldier among the ladies of the harem are ludicrous in the extreme and at the same time teach a strong lesson of what tue 'butter-in" may expect.
 The stage settings are new and elab- crate and it is one of the most gor- geously costumed plays ever presented in repertoire. Matinees beginning on Tuesday. Ladies tickets. issued for Monday evening. Darkest Russia will be presented on Monday evening.
