; K "THE CHRISTIAN" f: f "
Mr. Caine undortook the dramatiiaticr.
of "The Christian" himself. As he was
more familiar with the eharasters than
anyone else, he consequently has given to
the world the greatest dramatization of
the book that eould be nude. His Glory
Cuay'e, lovable and willful. U the same
as evor, but John Storm, who is almost a
relig;ous fanatic in the book, is a, more
reasonabla and attractive character in
the ply. Among the many stirring, soul
lifting, blood-curdling situations' in "The
Christian" non3 will bo found of greater
strangth than tne one wherein Storm
eiitars the apartment of Glory, and bids
har prc-pdre (or doath. as lp intends to
niurdur her to keep her from the contam
ination of tie world. . He warns her to
say her prayers, and he encircles hor
throat wi-l his hands, and is cn the
poi.it str ngling.hur when thtw nan's
buck w,. saves her life. In feverish
anxiety and impassioned speech the young
and beautiful girl reminds him of thei
childhood love for one another, and so
wjrks upon his mind that he relinquishes
his purpose. Another scene of dramatic
genius is where a mob attempts to cap
ture the villain, but are held back by
John Storm and brother Paul. Through-'
out the play the attention of the audience
9 rivited upon the stage, and never for a
moment does the interest lag.
Glory Quayle will be impersonated by
the beautiful Lillian Lawrence, and John
Storm by John Sainpolis. In Steward's
opera house, Thursday, May 5d. Prices

GAVE GOOD SHOW
The Ideals opened at the theater for a
two weeks' run last night, and their open
ing bill, "A Fight for Honor," was pleas
ing to the large audience present The
members of the troop give atssoith a
performance as any stock torn any seen
here this season and will probably play
to crowded houses during their engage
ment. "A Fight for Honor"' is a melodrama
but it is one wherein comedy and pathos
are intermixed in a way that pleases.
Oliver J. Eckhardt, the actor-manager
never failed to create a laugh while he
was on the stage in his character of
Sandy Walker the hobo. W. P. Richard
son, who played the lead, met with the
approval of the aud ience, ard his eccen
tric dancing specialty brought for him a
hearty round of applause. Herbert
Foster, the heavy, was hissed by the
"gods." which showed that he made good.
Blanche Marlin, the widow's daughter,
was also pleasing, while the sympathy of
the audience was with Isabel R. Perry
who played the supposed widow
Georgia Nicholas and Dorald Blanchard.
