Probably no one failed TO appreciate
that there was rich meaning and 20

Story Of Play.

The story Of the play is based on the
Oft-dfscUssed question OF nun forsak-
ing her VOWS for love Of g man The
temptation came to Sister Beatrice in
Prince BeIlfdOr, and she left the hal
lowed walls for the world
Upon her leaving the Virgin takes her
place in the convent, and for twenty
years performs her duties. Weak and
frienSless. the sister returns to die n
the convent, and the image Of the ViT-
gin, which disappears upon her de-
parture. returns to its nicl e. The nuns
think the reason OF Sister Beatrice has
been weakened BY her long years Of
service and plying incrtduIity greets
the story Of her wanderins,s and sin.

save Julia MarIowe could have read the
part Of Sister Beatrice with such eN-

Of their beauty as Miss Ma.sthiSon.
