Everywoman at The LeXin8.
ton Opera House.

The dramatic spectacle, "Everywo-
man." in many ways the most talked
about play of recent times, is to be Of
fered by Henry w. Savage at the Lex
ington Opera House Jan. l, 2, 3, with
matinees on the LIST and Sd. This unique
produ ction has made such an extraor di-
nary success in England, in addtien to
it American triumph and has been wit
messed by three millions of people dur
ing the three years which have elapsed
since its first performance and it is now
being played iu half dozen foreign
countries.
"Everywoman, in short, is monde
script in the matter of classification. 1t
parIakes of the nature of an opera, dra-
ma and musical comedy. and yet in re-
atty it does not belong to any OF the
three classes. 1t was suggested TO the
author, the late Walter Browne, by the
morality play, "Everyman," which was
performed throughout America few
years ago by group of English players
under the leadership of Ben Greet, yet
the latter work was gloomy and morbid,
while "Everywoman" is bright, witty
and abounds in comedy.
The work is on vast scale and repre-
sents a cash outlay of upwards OF $780,
600 1t is considered by Henry w. Saw
age as his greatest triumph as produc-
err The cast is long one and includes
81 speaking characters. Over 80 peo-
pie are employed in the production.
The accompanying music is one of the
features. 1t is symphonic in character
and includes 20 numbers, which were
especially composed for "Everywoman'
by George Whitefield Chadwick, Dean
of the New England Conservatory OF
Music, of Boston. A special symphony
orchestra is carried by the organization
to properly render the score. The cos
tunes for the production are especially
rich and represent the very last word OF
the Partisan designers. The title role
is played by That's Magrane. a young
woman of exceptional dramatic gifts
and superb beauty. The principal male
role is performed by Elmer Graddin.
Orders sent to Manager Scott, if &C
companied by remittance, will receive
prompt attention.

The End of The World.

Predictions of the end of the world
have been a source of terror to many
peoples through many centuries. ST.
Augustine, in the fourth century. con
coded only a few years of respite to the
human species before the end of time
In The ninth century, in countries of
continental Europe, the people began to
make preparation for the destruction of
,ae world, then prophesied to be near at
hand They abandoned their fields and
their workshops, and threw themselves
a. Tie loot Of the altar; they gave their
goods 10 the churches and monestaries.
Tie end was to come with the beginning
OF the thousandth year of the Christian
era The fatal day came. But the sun
continued 10 shine in the vault Of the
heavens, the stars remained in tier
places and the people returned TO their
customary pursuits. But the prophets
were not discouraged, and Arnault de
llileneuve., Frenchman, fixed the date
Tor the finish in l395-and again a mis-
take had been made in the direful horo
scope. Next came Jonathan Stofrer, a
German astrologer. who announced that
the world would be overwhelmed by
ceiuge in 1921, and worthy theologian
@. Toulouse constructed an ark.
In 1893 the end Of the world was an
nounced in France. and the widest ter
Tor prevailed. Henry ~, who had not
been any too good Protestant, and was
no better as Catholic, laughed at this
prediction Then he became serious and
ISSUED an edict forbidding his subjects
DO talk about anti-Christ and the last
Judgment The latest prophet of any
note was an Italian, monk of Padua,
who died at the age of ninety, day or
iva after the exaltation of Pope Leo
Alll. He left prophecy giving a list
Of the popes, ten in number, who should
reign before the end of the world should
come. And these are the names: First,
the present pope, Plus y; then will come
Paul VI, Plus NJ, Gregory WI, and Sc
on, concluding with Peter III, who shall
be the last pope who will occupy the
papal chair when the end comes. AS
popes reign an average OF twelve years
each, the grim prophet only allows a
century more of the world and then all
will be over. This prophesy, however,
has never been accepted with anything
like the seriousness with which it wa.
given.

questioning the men. They left imme-
