The story of The Lion's Mouth which
will he presented by Frederick Warde
together with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence M.
Krone at the opera house, Saturday
evening, is undoubtedly an important
piece of dramatic writing. It is of really
line literary quality, the diction being
rich and smooth, while tho metaphors
and similies with which it abounds
sparkle with the true lustre of a master
creation. It is even claimed that the
play is actually perfect in construction.
Each turn of the plot windings its coils
firmer and tighter around the hero and
heroine, until a climax is gradually
reached at which there cornea a sus
pense that has been growing from the
beginning of the play and is powerful in
its intensity
