he Princess theatre Chicago production
OF which comes to the Grand next Tues

York and Chicago runs. is heralded as an
example of new school of dramatic en-
deavor that is making its way IN this
country, Whatever name this new school
is ultimately to be credited with, its origin
is said to Turk in the realistic schools of
France and the Teutonic countries, Yet
its character has been greatly modified.
by its application to things American. and
its submission to the requirements of
American audiences There is none of
the morbidness OF the Scandinavian re-
alist, or the gleeful exhibition of shocking
detail that is so apt to characterize the
work of the Frenchman of the same
school,
The Deep Purple" takes its audience
into the haunts of the modern criminal,
not the petty crook, the sneak-thief or the
ebreaker. but he who works for big
stakes through his analysis Of the human
weaknesses Of those with whom he deals.
The setting throughout breathes realism
though there is no claim made, for in
stance that the boarding house scene,
located in the midst OF New York's ten
dsrlcin district, has been transported in
