The first seeds of jealousy are planted
at last in Don Julian's heart by DaI.
Severe. his brother, and Mercedes.
Don Severos wife, the latter being
ringleader of the gossipers. She is a
true woman with the serpent's tom
gue' such as William Watson, the fa>
nous English poet, wrote of his poem
of that name. "She is not old, she Is
not young. The Woman With the
Serpent's Tongue"
The evil talk spreads like wildfire
through the city Everywhere Don
Julian goes he hears whispers and ru-
mors. Phantoms of grisly doubt arise
in his mind. He does not believe, yet
he is haunted by vague fears and i'm.
aginings concerning the relations be-
tween ErnestO and Donna Theodore.
The Marquis Alvarez, a keen, fire-eat-
ing dueltist, is one of the leaders OF
the malicious talk. Finally driven al
most insane, Don Julian challenges the
Marquis. They fight and Don Julian
is mortally hurt. Carried to his home
from the field of honor he discovers
Donna Theodore and Ernesto togeth-
er He dies, tormented by doubts. Err.
nesto, to avenge his relatives death,
challenges the Marquis and, in a fu-
rious duel fought with all the older
swordsman's skill, Ernesto bests and
kills Alvarez. Then Ernesto returns
to Donna Theodore. In a scene that
grips and thrills he furiously denoun-
ces the scandalmongers. Then the
cringing. frightened backbiters are
driven ANONYMOUSLY out and Ernesto
and Theodore, thrown together at last
by the storm of scandal that has waged
about them, are left alone.

great dramatists of all time. "The
Celebrated Scandal deals vigorously

This is drama that has created a

Colgate Baker. the eminent dra-

New York Review of Miss Nansen:
To-day Betty Nansen is a woman

an actress. She is about medium
height, with magificenuy proper ton

derfully expressive. rejecting every
passing emotion. Her forehead is that

lips are mobile and her smile is infec-
