Of this wondrous art of contrast, by which Illustration receives its greatest force, Tolstoi is one of the worlds masters. The theme of the story is as old as womans .shame and misery, hut in the telling of it Tolstoi preaches n gospel that Is not only new, but strange. In the hearts of the skeptical he plants the seeds of a more tol dent, but it seems strangely out of Heaven knows there is nplace. for ecessity relief, but :.why Tolstoi should mar the gloomy impressiveness of the story with this foolish vulgarity is beyond me. He could have found other safety valves for;, our pent-ufeelings. Juries, with human lives in their keeping, are hardly the proper vehicle for merriment, and coarse jokes, nor can all the Tolstoism in the world make them so. ...In the pop trayal of Maslova, Miss Blanche Walsh has been given; the dramatic opportunity of her life.

He disdains the gentleness with which lights and shades fall On the gradually into each other. contrary, he delights in those great broad sweeps of the bmsh that show highest intensity Whltmark Von Weber TICKETS ON SALS says: "The play gives Miss Mannering an opportunity for what few actresses cun capably do; she is permitted to display her versatility until in admiration of its excellence the auditor forgets the trite theme of the play and decides that mistaken identity is still fresh enough, after its years of wear and tear, to furnish a good play with odd and entertaining incidents.
