The whole world is looking for
novelty! No play is so novel, so
original, so unlike anything else ever
produced, so full of new and beau
tiful ideas as Clarence Bennett’s
“The Holy City." I:s imitators were
among tin* lirst to recognize this,
and to try to trade on its reputation
and its successful ideas. Salome,
John the Baptist and the various
plays that have lately sprung up,
written around the old Bible story,
are ample proof of this. They have
tried to steal the ideas of “The Holy
City," but in vain. They are but
bungling counterfeits of a great
masterpiece and have signally missed
its many excellences. They are col
orable blit poor Imitations of a great
original.. Lacking the correctness,
the beauty, the dramatic of this no
ble play. Like counterfeits general
ly, they are failures, both artistical
ly and financially, where ilv real and

sterling tiling imitated continues a
growing success. "The Holy City" j
will In* in tin* full noon-tide of its
glory and triumph, long ufter these
spurious imitations and frauds have
been forgotten! The pure gold of
genius can stand and live on its own
merits and does not have to shine
with a lustre borrowed from the In
tellects of others. It is no more pos
sible to counterfeit "The Holy City"
than it Is to steal the glories of
Shakesj>eare, Schiller, Lord Lytton
or any of the great playwrights of
the past. "The Holy City” is a play
that will live because it is too great
a play to die. Its deep heart inter
est. its wonderful truth to nature,
Its thrilling and beautiful story, its
unlimited opportunities for the best
efforts of the greatest actors, to say
nothing of its splendid scenic set
tings and superb costumes, alto
gether make it the most delightful
Scriptural drama of the age. A play,
once seen never forgotten. A play
that people never tire of seeing again
and again. The great secret of its
success is 'hat it has found the fore
most place in the hearts of the pub
lic.

BILL TO CONSOLIDATE
CLASSES OF MAIL MAHER
Washington, Jan. 10.—|A.t the in
stance of tho Postal Progress League
a bill will be introduced in congress
at an early date for -the consolida
tion of the first, third, and fourtft
classes of mail matter with a com
mon rate of one cent for each two
ounces or fraction thereof. The idea
represented in this bill will consti
tute the principal point of the
league's program for the coming
year. It is hardly to be expected
that so radical a move will recelvo
the sanction of legislative enact
ment, but that prospect does not de
ter the association from furthering
a reform the acceptance of whicf!
it considers to be only a question of
time.
Mrs. H. T. Jopling left this after
noon for Home, Oa., to visit her pa
rents. She was accompanied by her
brother, Charley Hume.
Now watch out for another lobby
ist taking a trip to the capital at
the city’s expense so -that a few more
votes may bo secured.
