"Tho Sign of the Cross" hits been
n most magnetic attraction for tho
followers of the Christian religion of
all sects and denominations as well
as for du? regular devotees of the
drama. The reverent and yet force?
ful manner in which the subject of
Christianity is treated in the heart?
rending, yet beautiful story of the
persecution of the early Christians
in the cruel days of the tyrant Rm
poror Nero in Home where the wan?
ton luxury und excesses of the pa?
gans presaged Rome's downfall have
endeared this play peculiarly to bish?
ops, priests and clergy tho world
over, J; *'W
In the matter of scenic and cos?
tume display It is claimed that the
production will present home of the
most magnificent pictures known to
the dramatic Stage. "Tile Sign of the

to make people lahgh. A foreign visi?
tor to this country once said that
i from his observations he bad come
to the conclusion that the reason the
' American people .were so full of en?
ergy and so successful in their busi?
ness, was that they relaxed so com?
pletely when through working and
wer<> fonder of fun and could laugh
more convincingly than any other na?
tion be knew of.
Certainly, in any event, i very one
likes the man who laughs often and
with this point in mind "Johnny

greater proportion of originality .than
is usually allotted to such produc?
