 James K. Hackett in "Samson."
 The story of: Samson" the four-act drama by Henri Bernstein, in which James K. Hackett will appear at Jackson's theatre for a single perform ance only next Wednesday evening, is as follows.
 Maurice Brachard a copper magnate of Paris who has risen from obscur- ity to great power and wealth by not too scrupulous methods, marries Anne Marie, dauehter of the Marquis d'An- deline, a beautiful young woman who has no particular love for her hus- band, and who finds time while he is bling up money to indulge in a flirta- tion with a handsome society favorlte named Gerome le Govain. Brachard has contributed to Govain's success in business. indeed, he has enriched him. Govain's resources are copper stocks, the value of which, Brachard, by rea- son of his leadership in the field spec ulation. controls. Brachard is about to start for London on business trip. He learns that Govain has not only ruined his wife but that he is con- stantly parading her shame. He is told of restaurant supper that very evening at which Govain. in his van ity of conquest, is showing her to his revelling companions. Brachard changes his plans. confirms the truth of the reports that have reached him, and with cunning mind plans quick spectacular revenge. Securing luxur- ious rooms at the Hotel Ritz, he con- trives to have Govain. who does mot know that the escarade has been dis covered, visit him there. In the mean whfe he has summoned his agent and directed him to sell out the stocks of the copper company-in fact, to create a panic in them. Brachard finds it necessary to sacrifice his entire for tune in order to reduce Govain to pen ury. but Brachard can stand the loss better than his victim as he is more resourceful in money getting and may recoup his lost millions. To Govain, ruin means the gutter. The copper magnate holds him prisoner in the rooms while newspaper vendors in the street cry out about a panic in the Bourse and Govain learns that he is ruined. Goaded to desperation he taunts Brachard with the conquest he has made of the latter's wife and the two men fight, Brachard choking the other into insensibility. What is the sequel? What becomes of Govain? What becomes of Brachard and his wife? MT. Bernstein has to turn one of the most delicate and difficult dra- matic corners that a playwright ever encountered. After smashing things to pieces in whirlwind style, he has to make an interesting disposal of the wreckage. This he does in perfectly satisfactory way. The seats for MT. Hackett's performance are now sell ing.
