her latest success, Bella Donna"
which was produced last year at the
Empire Theatre, New York city, and
made one of the big dramatic hits of
the season. bella Donna, is a
dramatic play in four acts that
James Bernard Pagan has made out
of the novel of the same name by
Robert Hichens. The central figure
of the play is Mrs. Chepstow, who,
on account of her great beauty was
christened Bella Donna aud who. is
q particularly fascinating woman.
Internationally she is bad to the
core and although in the middle age
of life during the period of the play,
she is still very attractive.
In adapting the novel, Mr.. Pagan is
said to have followed the plot of the
Kitchens story carefully. Bella
Donna's carer in London is on the
wane, she has lived her life, she has
had many men at her feet, but the
wears are beginning to tell. Nigel
-Armine, young and enthusiastic
Engiishman. just back from Egypt
comes upon her horizon and in him
Mrs. Chepstow sees a possibility OF
responsibility and rehabilitation
Marry him she does in spite of de-
termined opposition Armine is in
terested in big engineering problem
in Egypt and thither he takes his
bride, surrounding her with every
possible tenderness and care.
But the latent badness in Bella
Donna must find some vent and she
becomes madly infatuated with one
Mahmoud Baroudi a wealthy
Egyptian. who appeals to her from
ali standpoints. Her newly-made nus
band is in the way and when Baroudi,
with Oriental cunning, proposes that
he be got rid of, Bella Donna will
ineIy accedes, accepting from Baroudi
the poison with which to carry out
the plot. The timely arrival of Or.
Isaacson, an old friend of Armine's,
saves the latters life and once Nigel
is restored to health the doctor tells
him truthfully the cause of his III
ness and his wife's part in the plot
The young husband will not believe
he orders the doctor from the house,
and then tells his wife what he has
been told She soon disabuses his
mind. admits everything, telling her
husband that she no longer cares for
him and that Baroudi is the one man
for her. She goes to her lover, who
upon hearing that she has told the
truth promptly regulates her and
casts her off. In despair, she makes
an attempt to return to the villa, only
to find the doors shut in her face and
so, alone and in the night. she goes
out into the desert presumably to
her end
