Mr. Laurant’s great East Indian Myestry, “The Witch of the Flame,” is founded upon the Hindoo legend of a beautiful Princess who lived many hundred years ago. The Princess was seized by a tribe of fanatical natives, confined in a large chest or casket, placed upon the funeral pile. and offered up as a living sacrifice to their gods or Deity. It is said the God- dess of Justice, looking down and realizing the injustice of such a deed, caused he Princess to escape in the flames and she was called ever after- ward “The Witch of the Flame.” The casket used for this great illu- sion is one of the finest pieces of magi- cal furniture ever constructed.

While passing out of the stage door recently in one of the eastern cities Mr. John Arthur, who plays Fabio in Marie Correlli’s ‘‘Vendetta,” was accosted by a small boy of the type usually found in the city alley. On ahghting atthe bottom of the door steps the boy asked: “‘Say,.are you de guy wat was burried alive in de show?” Mr. Arthur, amused answered: “Yes,” The youngster replied: “Well, its a good thing you poked that sword in that guy’s tender spot and put him out of business forme and de gang was here to take a pokeat him our- selfs, but we tank you for savin’ us de trouble.” Street gamins are not ‘al- ways the poorest judges of real merit in stage work, but it takes perfection in realism to move him tosuch a spirit as this. If you have ever read Marie Corelli’s ‘Vendetta’? you will ‘be pleased to know that we will have the stage version of that famous novel at the opera house in the near future. % Nothing can be of more interest dramatically than the life of poor Fabio, portrayed on the stage by a man of Mr. Arthur’s reputation. Fabio has everlasting confidence in legitimate dramas both in this coun try and aboard. While a mere boy he joined the Booth and Barret com- bination when it was in its height. Arthur will be assisted by a select metropolitan cast of players snd the ‘‘Vendetta” will be offered at popular prices, for the first time with such an excellent cast, at the Mr. Opera House, Nov. 2, 1907. A Splendid Showing. The recent financial panic was: al most worth having for the good it has Perhaps its chief benefit has ‘been to show how fundamentally strong the finances of the nation are. done. If they ‘had not been strong, i weakness had been widespread, the attack was fierce enough to have spread great destruction. The incident came at the crest of a tremendous business and industrial activity. The demand for money to be used in business and manufacture, as well as in speculation, had been so strong that bankers must have been tempted everywhere to weaken their position by over-loaning. Yet the result has gone to show that in marvelously few places was the temptation powerful enough to induce bankers to risk the stability The few weak spots have been uncovered, but in comparison with the vast tower of the out it. of their institutions, strength that the banks of country have presented to withstand the assaults of fear and distrust, these weak spots were miraculously his friend and is blind to the atten- tions his friend is paying his truth- less wife. During the’ plague Fabio is stricken. His friend insists that he be buried alive while in a semi— conscious state, leaving the way clear that he may carry on his love affairs with Fabio’s wife. . Fabio is apparently laid to rest in a casketin the tomb. During the night he regains consciousness and finds himself buried alive. The tortures and misery in trying to release himself from his terrible con- finment is said to »be one of the best pieces of actingjever witnessed ina stage performance. Mr. Arthuris fully equal to the task, having played in all the better few and far between. Again, banks 1n which public trust had been abused by the use of the public’s money for speculation and exploitation were the first to experi- ence the effects of fear and distrust, and first to develope weak spots. Much has been said about business dishonesty in this country, but the recent experience has shown that the vast majority of the banks are con- ducted upon sound and conservative principles, and that the promoters’ banks are fortunately few. The strength that bas been shown by the banking institutions of the country should give the people new contidence in their integrity and trustworthiness.—Duluth Herald.
