La TINS vehicle the most signal oppor
tunlty for graphic character studies is
given the principals and their excellent
company of associated artists. Each
type is clear and distinct, and the min
gled atmosphere of the old world and
the new is developed in n rare and con-
vincing manner. This play is cast up
on somewhat similar lines to 'The
Melting Pot, - in which Mr.. Mack and
his associates achieved a notable sue
cess IN this city, and il also suggestive
in treatment Of "As n Man Thinks. -
The psychological development of the
play IS of special interest. the action
and lines blending closely into fasci-
mating psychological whole. The theme
is strongly suggestive of racial prcju-
dice and religious intolerance OF the
old world. but there is nothing often
slve TO either Jew or Gentle in the
lines or action.
The east of characters has been Sc
lected with the utmost care. that the
actors may be fitted perfectly TO the
parts they will play. Mr. Mack will
play the leading male role, that of Jo-
hann Strauss, and Miss Marjorie Ram
