This great play, with Its blendlna- of
deeply religious feeling in th triumph
of Christianity ever psgantam, with
strong historical significance In deplet
ing scenes snd action In th darkest
days of RomS under the tyrant Nero,
haa for years carried th banner of high
Cnrlstlan thought Into all theatrical ter
ritories. It was th first plsy .to bring
th church Into close association with
th stage, and it remains the on the
atrical production which priest and
clergy recommend their people to se.
For soms seasons Mr. Barrett's master
work haa been sumptuously offered In
this country by William Greets famous
London company. . R. G. Craerln In our-
cnaalng the rights of thl play for the
Vnlted States snd Canada had as his
first thought -th maintaining of th

duction held tn the visits of th English
company, They therefore- secured - a
many a possible or Mr. oreet's London
company to appear In tha roles whloh
they mad famoua in this country, and
engaged also many American actors -tt
renown to complete th cast of 2S im
portant characters. .Th superbly gor
geous scenlo Investiture from th Lyrto
theatre, London, which gav "Th Sign
of th Cross" such, distinction as a
spectacular drama, ha also been pur
chased by Mr. Craerln. and has; been
carefully and artlatlcslly rfpalnted for
this seaaon by that noted artist, Matt

OBJECTS TO HORSE'S GRAVE
So, Mr. Selden Wants to Buy the Old
- Cemetery Where Ancestors Lie.
Because he found that an old, gray
horse had been burled near his ances
tors In th burying ground In Hadlyme,
Connecticut. Georg B, Selden, th in
ventor of the gasoline engine for suto
mOblleST "Ha "declares. ' Yccor'dlngrta thr
town gossips, that be will buy th whole
eemetery and own and run It htmaelf.
Some time ago Mr. Seldon came to
town la a touring oar and mad in
quiries as to where hi first American
anceators war burled. Somebody di
rected him to th old burying ground
that was abandoned nearly a century
ego,raod after poring - over th old
tombatone h finally waa abl to lo

Many of the monuments war so de
faced and worn by rain and snow that

or. in part. One of the -oldest inscrip
tions now legible Is "Ellakln Selden,
son of Joseph Selden. died June ,
1718, In y seventh year of his age."
This waa five years before the ceme
tery was laid out
Tha town tradition la that a funeral
procession to th Cov burying ground
waa overtaken by a sudden storm 'and
the mnurnlns- friends Stopping by th
wayside burled their dead. This deter
mined th town committeemen to lay
out tha cemetery.
Th highway leading to th old grave
yard was discontinued in 1827 and th
oemetery was no longer uaed except
for special purposes, Tha story is that
some years ago a townsman ' lost by
death a faithful old gray horse who
had been a family, pet. Wlahlng to
glv th animal a resting place wher
his bones would not b disturbed, h
selected a spot near tha old cemetery,

None of the residents objected, but
Mr Selden became highly - indignant
when he learned of thl. H at one
