stepniak as Prophet.

A correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian In England records an inter
estlng statement made by Stepnink,
the great Russian revolutionary, which
is worth quoting. When he first met
Stepniak. in 1899, the writer says, he
asked what real prospect there was of
any revolution IN Russia. The reply
was; "a great European war viii be
our chance. 1t will show the bureau
cracy to be quite incapable of iiianag'

LYRIC

For the Man She Loved, ~ which
will be given at the Lyric theatre all
of this weel. beginning with the mat
inee today, Is frankly a melcdrama
of the type that has found favor with
the PATRONS of the playhouse during
several seasons past. 1t has for it's
prototypes such popular plays as "On
Trial" Common Clay and Within
the Law" to name but a few of the
more recent ones. The continued ten
'dency OF the theatre-going public to
give special favor to this style of
play is evidenced by the fact that
two-thtrds of the genuine successes
thus far scored in New York the pres
ent season have been plays Of the
nelodramatic type. 'For the Man
She Loved. was first produced last
June by the Keith Players, the pre-
miere stock company Of New York.
It made an instant hit by reason of
its strength of story and plot, the
mystery and suspense that attaches
to the stirring incidents of the play
and the vivid and graphic manner in
which the playwright has given life
and action to his characters. As the
title indicates, the theme IS based on
the sacrifices and trials of a woman
for the man she loves. In effect 1t is
a page out OF the life story of Mary
Ballard, but in its naturalness and
realness 1t suggests what might rea-
|sonably happen to any woman.

THE STRAND

There have been many attempts on
the spoken stage to give an idea Of
what is known in Eastern wonder
tales az the Genie. but it remained
for William Fox to give him to the
world SO that he could be truly appre-
ciated.
A genie is neither fairy nor a
devil and there Is no counterpart, of
him in Western mythology. He is
capable Of doing everything that he
Is asked and he is. under the proper
conditions. entirely under the domi-
nation Of the one who calls him.
In Aladdin and the Wonderful
Lamp. shown at the Strand theatre,
Main and High streets, today and to-
morrow, the genie IS shown for the
first time In any comprehensive sense
to the Western mind. The remark
able figure, who has so much to do
with the development of this story,
has been created by Mr.. Fox He ID
great and powerful and. while lie Is
awe-inspiring. he is nothing that Is
frightening. He is Just the doer of
marvellous things.

dame blanchard continued to make
aerial voyages. For eight years this
pioneer woman aeronaut gave exhi-

her bravery cost her her life, and she
was probably the first woman who lost
her life In this manner. In 1911.
she assembled in Rome and made u
most remarkable aerial voyage which
took her to Naples and other cities.
She continued to excite the wonder
of all people until June. 1919. It was
In that month that she rose over
Paris during a celebration, of which
her performance was to be one Of
the outstanding features. She took
with her on her trip into the clouds
some fireworks, which she was to set
off over the city while thousands stood
, below to watch the unusual spectacle.
As she rose she waved her hand at
the eager throng which watched her
breathlessly. The Parisians watched
her until she became a speck in the
sky. At any moment they expected
to see the fireworks she had taken
with her go off. Suddenly there was
a burst of flame in the sky cry OF
horror arose as the thousands OF
spectators realized that the balloon
itself had ignited and was shooting
down ia earth. a ball Of fame against
the evening Sky. The crowd surged
through the streets toward the Rue
de Provence, where the remains of the
balloon crashed to earth. the body
