HOMEGROWN Heroes and Heroines.
"I believe there are quiet victories
and struggles, great sacrifices of self,
and noble acts of heroism done every
day in hooks and corners, and in little
households, and in mems and wom-

hope in it, though two-fourths of its
people were at war and another fourth

The most horrible play ever
seen in New York city was given
lat the Hudson theater one after
noon this week.
1t was benefit performance
for Nadage Doree, a Jewish girl
who is writing and speaking in
behalf of the oppressed Jews in
Russia. Among the dozen acts
on the bill was a playlet called
"Veaugeance," adapted from the
Russian. with a Russian actor
named Nicholas Orloff in the lead
ing part. 1t startled and Mortified
J the unsuspecting audience.
The curtain rises upon the liv-
ing room of Arnold, a wine mer-
chant, his wife Marie and Thomas,
his paralytic father. This last
part is played by Orloff. He sits,
facing the audience, in an arm
chair, his paralyzed hands resting
on its arms, his legs wrapped in
blankets. His face is CHASTITY be-
lyond description. His mouth is
wide open, the lower jaw hanging
inert, like that of a dead man
But it is his eyes that seize and
hold one in veritable grip OF
horror. They protrude and glare
and roll; they give out every pane
of the tortured soul within the
helpless body.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-03-11

Before his stroke, Thomas had
been man of enormous strength.
He and his son had been cruel to
Marie. The son still is. The girl
is revenging herself on the old
man. She torments him while
the son is away during the day.
Arnold returns and she asks
him to go down into the cellar for
wine, as the workman could not
find it. The father sees him going
to his death, and cannot speak or
move. Only those eyes, fairly
starting from his head; only his
neck craned toward his son till
the cords stand out. You see his
tongue flutter in his open mouth
as he tries to call out.
At last from the palsied lips
there comes cry-such a moan
as might gurgle up through that
of a grave. Overjoyed, Arnold
runs to his father, kisses his fore
head, tells him he knows he is
getting better. Tomorrow they
will have the best doctors for him
now to get the wine and drink tc
his restored health.
| Arnold goes to the cellar. A
crash is heard; he has fallen; he
is killed. Marie is horror-stricker
for moment, then she raises hel
hands in rejoicing. Il am free!
