Edward Sheldon play, in which she
has found her greatest popular sue
CESS since Leah kleschna."
Mrs. Fiske was the first to bring
Mr.. Sheldon forward as n dramatist,
and between herself and tho brilliant
young playwright there seems to exist
peculiar artistic sympathy which
makes for the best work on the part
of each. In "The High Road" name
given TO the play incidentally by Mrs.
Fiske. Mr.. Sheldon is said to have
written his most important play, and
in 1t Mrs. F'iske to have found char

Salvation Nell"
The theme OF '"rhe High Road" is
OF present day bigness This theme
the young dramatist is said to have
treated with vigor. gripping dramatic
values and the underlying spirit OF
much OF his former work. The story
is that OF woman's whole life. 1t Is
the record OF her early struggles and
experiences, her steady spiritual
growth. her gallant progress, in the
face Of almost overwhe Ginning odds
towards the splendid destiny which at

keeping Of Frederick Perry, Arthur
Byron and Herbert Dolmoro, three
