ed at the Xew Oregon by the
Georgia Harper company during her
engagement here, was written by the
great Russian writer Henri Sien
kiewicz, and the action of the play
Is supposed to take place during the
reign of Xoro, and furnishes scope
for a wider range of dramatic action
and incidents than any drama of Its
kind. The story deals with the trial
of the Christians who for their be
lief were prosecuted by Xero and his
followers.
Miss Harper as the character of
Lygla has a great scope for fine act
ing, and her support for this season
Is of the best, having a number of
her old people with her that assures
a smooth performance. The man
agenvnt of Miss Harper has gone to
a great expense to feature this play
and will give a complete scenic pro.
Auction.
The play is In seven acts all In set
tines historically correct which, to
gether with pretty costumes, will
make this one of the best ever seen
on the local stage at these prices.
Other plays to be presented during
Miss Harper's engagement here will
be "St 11 fiwynne," "Lady of Quality,'
"Trilby" "Mysterious Mr. Bugle,
"Little Minister" and a grand revival
of the great favorite. "Camille," In
which Miss Harper has no equal.

case a marked gain In flesh has re
sulted. Insomnia has been overcome,
and she Is steadily growing stronger."
