uiih' "St Blino,” that classic of the
Southland will lie delight*,] to learn
that (lie clever pen of Nell Twoinev j
I ha* done Into flesh and blood the In
teresting characters of the famous
novel. With sympathetic appreciation
of the varied and interesting types
so skilfully drawn by the author,
Mr. Thome\ has select ,j the leading
scenes and characters and has pro
duced a play of strength and merit
which adheres to the narrative of th«
novel and which gains additional
strength through the rapidity of th ■
narrative and the excision of the
lengthy philosophic discussion?
which strips the principal cha.ncte ?
fit t heir extraneous conversations
and leave? ; he palpitajit human he
ing. playing a drama of Intensity and
rapidity of action. No character
drawn b\ the architect possess a a
, greater or more compelling interest
than St. Klmo Murray, whose char
acter undergoes a complete change
when he maaes the discovery that
his boyish chum, the object of his
youthful adoration and the beaiiti
ful girl to who he has given his pas
sionate fit i love have united in de
i reiving him. Killing his chum j i a
duel St. KImo sustains the shook
which re.-ults in brain fev* ,■ from
which he '-Merge:; with character

with all mankind. For years he
vents ill? malignant hatred npo.i the
world at large, at least tni he won

of a loyal woman's simple nature.
