independent of any outside aid, it is
fortunate that the cast in this opera

popular baritone. especially well liked
in his concert and oratorio work, will
take the role of the High Priest. a role
well fitted ohis voice. Charles Trow-

something al which to marvel IL an

tinction permitted his work to be
translated into silent drama. The

craze for novelty at little cost, and few
cared to risk the scorn of their fellow
craftsmen of the literati by aiding
and abetting this pickering. soundless
theatrical interloper.
Now. OF course. all that is changed.
And now comes the distinguished
author and dramatist. w. Somerset

which had very successful run on
Broadway.
Vaughan, who is an Englishman
sprang into prominence man of
letters with the publication of his
novel "Of Human Bondage" consid-
fred one Of the best books of the last
20 years.
He followed up this triumph with
numerous short stories and PLAYS.
Last year one Of his short stories
about the South Seas was dramatized
into the play Rain" which is still
running In many cities here and
abroad.
Caesars Wife" was written as a
play. First National saw that the

Irritation in order to counteract the
neglect Of her husband, and who re-
turns to him when she realizes tina t
her love for him Is greater than her
love for her sweetheart, was desira BILE
