Lyceunn Theatre

"St Elmo" the play that has made
all America talk, comes to the Ly-
ceuem Theatre, Toledo, for an en-
tire weeks engagement starting next
Sunday matinee, and including Tues
Thursday and Saturday matinees.
A lavish production of the play has
been made by Mr.. Vaughn Glaser
and cast of superior excellence has
been engaged to portray the various
characters. The mounting of the
piece, as regards scenery and effects,
is exceptionally fine and no expense
has been spared by Mr.. Glaser to
make this the most pretentious of the
attractions playing the circuit. "St.
Elmo" is novel of formidable size,
which tells story pointing out the
evils of duelling and the misfortunes
accruing to the successful duellist,
even when he takes revenge for rea-
sons held justifable by advocates of
the so-called unwritten law.
four-act play Mr.. Holcomb has used
the editorial blue pencil with vigor
and discretion. By introducing lit
tie levity he has pleasantly leavened
what would otherwise be drama of
almost continuous tearfulness, until
the final act, which of course ends
happily
The scenes of "St. Elmo" as mil
lions of Mrs. Wilson's admirers
know, are laid partly in the shadow
| of Lookout Mountain and in cutting
the novel Mr.. Holcomb has elimin-
ated the scenes in Italy and else
where and the play deals wholly with
life in Tennessee. Good advantage
is taken of the opportunities present
ed to the scene painter by Tennessee
landscapes, as well as the interior of
Tennessee manor house of the
ante bellum days. Mr.. Glaser has
also taken care to avoid anachron-
isms III costuming, etc, and the pis-
tolls used in the duelling scene i'll the
first act are of the period dealt with.
He has avoided the error of causing
the gentlemen and gentlewomen in
his play to converse in the dialect
that New York managers usually in
sist upon in Southern plays. He has
selected cast of we'll appearing men
and women who do not look out OF
place in Southern interiors. Mr.
Martin L. Alsop will portray the
difficult role of ST. Elmo and will be
assisted by Beatrice Worth as Edna
Earle, whose evolution from a crude
"po' white" to the fascinating pro-
tege of an aristocratic Southern wo'
man, is swift and complete. They
are surrounded by cast of more
than ordinary excellence.

Ruins of Yucatan.

The explorations of Arthur Diosy In
Yucatan brought to light many new
facts about the stupendous ruins
which stretch through the country in
a chain 300 miles long. The most
amazing thing about these ruins. &C
cording to Mr.. Diosy. is that the peO-
pie who possessed such high archi
tectural skill and the knowledge OF
rich and graceful decorative arts, be
longed to the stone age and had nc
knowledge of metals. These wonders
In stone were carved with flint tmpie
ments and civilization which has
been compared to that of Egypt grew
up without even the use of bronze ano
iron.
