 The Hope" the famous Drury Lane heioorama, is one of the most spec ,acular productions that has been seen nere Tn long time. All the tricks of The business of writing melodrama have been employed by the authors, Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton, to wiring the last drop of dramatic appeal out of situation And the dramatic situa- tons pile one upon the other with amazing rapidity. The picture moves with a pace that sweeps the spectators along in breathless expectancy.
 It's melodrama, frank and un- ashamed. But not naked As a mat ter ofWact it's clothed with luxurious disregard of expense. The eye is filled with vivid pictures of life in England, India and Italy-extraordinarily beau tiful landscapes and magnificent in- teriors.
