have astounded theaiergoers of both
created with an extravaganza of detail
that makes one wonder how anyon,
could think of things SO small in a
thing So big.
The play itself may be said to stand
alone among similar dramas of the mo-
ment in spiritual elevation, for the book
from which it is taken has produced a
profound impression among all those
who have read it. Mr.. Hichens. author
of the novel, and Mary Anderson, who
assisted him in the work of dramatiza-
ton. have proved expert playwrights.

the restraint and solitude of his cell,

seclusion to atone for all that has gone

In selecting the dramatic episodes for
this stage version of The Garden Of
Allah the authors have laid the first
scene In the courtyard of the Hotel du
Desert at Beni-Mora. Then there is 4

garden of the Count Anetoni follows.

The concluding scene-the exterior of
the Trappist Monastery at El Largini-

As for the spectacle proper, il lies in

Mora. their belligerent Arab lovers, the
bleating goats and kindred sounds of
Oriental life that strike the ear, the
brilliant sun on the walls of the mon
astery. and the strange lights that play
on the sky that marks the far-M end
OF the horizon. All these details. to-
gether with the love of the amorous
Domfni, and the. haunted Boris, result
In q unity of picturesque impression
that fills the eye with alluring pictures
OF romantic and distant world. A most
remarkable cast of players is seen to
advantage in this remarka BILE drama
Dorothy Donnelly and Lawson Butt, as
Domin1 and Boris, respectively, are said
to share the honors of notable per-
formance. Jose Ruben, Frank Kingdom,

said to be commendable.

POLLS TO PRESENT
IN OLD HEIDELBERG
ThurIow Bergen, New Leading
Man, Will Make First Ap-
pearance in Leading Role.

Thurlow Bergen. the handsome new
reading man for the Poll Players, will
make his initial bow before the patrons
OF the Avenue playhouse tomorrow night
when he will assume the role made IA
nous by Richard Mansfield in "Old
Heidelberg"
AS Prince Karl. Mr.. Bergen. has won
extravagant praise in every stock COM
pany in which he. has played, and he is
expected to repeat his triumph here.
The story of "Old Heidelberg" is one
OF strong romantic appeal. The central
character is Karl, young German
prince. who enters the University at
Heidelberg in order to learn something
OF life as well as of books. In the first
act he is morose. shy, and austere, but
after few months at the famous in
stitution a great change is wrought. and
In the second act he is seen to be i'm
bued with the jov Of living. The whole
world is seen through a mist of rose
and romance, and the cause of most
Of his happiness is Kathie. the daugh-
ter of the innkeeper.
At the height of his happiness comes
the news of his fathers death and the
summons back to court, where he must
assume the obligations of a ruler. At
first Karl rebels, but in the end, though
her heart is breaking. it is Kathie who
persuades him that his duty to his peo-
pie is higher call than the dictates of
his own heart, and the unhappy young
prince leaves the SCENES Of his student
days.
The last act marks the return of
Karl to Heidelberg. He has wearied
of the restrictions and the oppression of
court life, and he comes on visit to
the university city hoping to find here
some of the freedom and sincerity
which made his life such a joy during
his schoolboy days. But he finds here
the same awe which has surrounded
him at court. Kathie alone is unchange,
and for a brief interval the young ruler
lives over again all the happiness of
his student days The final parting of
these two young lovers is one of search
ing pathos.
