John Mason will appear at the opera
house next Wednesday, January 18th,
is great play. It is not a lesson, a
sermon, treatise, a discourse, a de-

drama. The word drama, of which
the significance sometimes seems to
have been forgotten or ignored, means
something made, done, performed ::
something that occurs IN action. That
fact Augustus Thomas, in writing this
play, distinctly and brilliantly exem.

Hour begins with its first line and
ends only with the last one; so that.
