"The Thief" Wednesday, Oct. Goth.


The most potent appeal of Henri
Rernstein's remarkable drama The
Thief" which will be seen under the
direction of Charles Frohman at the
Opera house on Wednesday evening
Oct. goth is it's universal humanity.
Written by Frenchman for the
French people about French men and
women. it has proven itself TO be a
drama for all sorts and conditions OF
men; to please and thrill all nations.
1t is extremely doubtful if any play in
recent years has been more widely
acted or attracted larger audiences.
Bernstein's methods are like those
of no other French writer: he throws
aside restrain and with a series OF
mental blows enforces his story in a
series of thrills on the minds of his
audiences. He eschews the theatre
and seizes the dramatic, he takes his
men and women from real life. they
are not types but human beings
with all the impulses for good and bad
common to us all.
1.-THE Thief" tells a simple direct
story of a young wife who steals like
a common thief in order to buy pretty
frocks in order to attract and hold the
love of-most French writer's would
have made the man her lover. Bern
