and Sd, one Of the plays Of the sea-
son which has been heralded with
much discussion, "The Earth" a
piece which has already captured
London. 1t was written by James
Pagan and its theme is the evil In

nalism. The star of the production
is Edmund Breese, who achieved a
leading position as an able actor by
his impersonations of Money Getting
Rider in "The Lion and the Mouse"
and of the leading character in "The
Third Degree" In "The Earth" ne
has a role equally as strong as that
of Money Getting Rider and one more
human and consistent. 1t Is the part
of the editor of newspaper devoted
to yellow journal methods. The big
scene takes place in the last act mt
which point the editor, Sir Phelix
Janion, having discovered Lady Kill

to an intensely dramatic conclusion
which holds the audience breathless
and gives Mr.. Breese continuous op-
portunity for masterful acting.
