and inspiring drama, The Lily" It

French Of Pierre woln and CASTOR
Leroux. and from the moment Of its first
production in this country at the Stuy-
vesant Tl1eater, New York. January 6,
1910 It has been acknowledged to be the
most powerful dramatic offering Of
decade.
The scenes are all laid in France, and
throughout the entire action of the four
acts there is a constant succession of
thrilling situations and climaxes. Love
is its theme-a theme so admirably
handled that from youth to old age an
inspiration is to be found therein for all.
The story hinges upon the affairs of the
Compile de Maigny and his family OF
two daughters and a son. The compile
is bankrupt and wholly selfish old roue,
who holds his daughters practically pris-
oners in his chateau and seeks his own
relaxations in Paris.
The elder daughter. odette. has aban
doned her own hopes for happiness IN
making her life, one of service to the
father. but the yearnings Of her sister
Christine for love and companionship
lead her into tndiscretions that form the
basis of some of the most powerful dra-
matte climaxes known to the modern
stage. Her infatuation is for an artist.
George Arnaud, who is occupying an
estate adjoining that of her fathers.
from which she manages to escape from
time TO time, despite the close watch
that is kept upon her, to find the tryst-
ing place with her lover. AS Christine
and Arnaud, Frances Nelson and Edwin
Hass Robins will for the first time
carry the love interest of the play which
their positions in the company should

by the fact that the receipts OF the
Comedy Theater. one of the smallest

The story OF Brown OF Harvard"
concerns a boat race between the Har-

an English university. The race takes
place on the Charles River, historic

max of the play is in the third act,
when Tom Brown, played by Everett
Butterfield steps into the boat at the last
moment, after the stroke oar refuses to
enter the contest. His refusal is based
on a rascalIy plot laid by an unworthy
Harvard man. The play has swift ac-
