Every- womah. aside from the trite sermon it preaches.

Sunday performances ,wiU be given during Mies Elliott's engagement here, but she will depart from one of her fixed rales, and will play Weil- nesday matinees, at which the best seats -will be on sale at $1.00. The critics are full of praise for tlie increas- ing skm with vhich Mr. Patterson wields his pen, but many of them ex'ress doubt as to- the wisdom of attempting to reproduce rellgioaE rites On the stage. - Frederic Hatton, In The Post, says: "In Re- bellion Joseph MedUl Patterson discusses divorce with -the same vivid eanestnesB that be re- viewed current-Journalistic ethlca in The Fonrtb Estate, blgb Ufe In A Little Brother of the Rlcb and the «ocalne traffic In Dope. Tbis Is to say tbat be plunges fearlessly Into bis sub- ject and expresses as truthfully, sincerely and forcefully as his nature permits his views upon divorce. "The name of the play tells those who do not know Mr. Patterson that the position of tbe author Is Insmrgent. He crlee out against the cruelty of tbe conventional and religions views of marriage as bitt-rly as the ante-bellnm poets did against physlctil slavery. According to the Shavian classification Re- bellion would come under the bead of Pla.vs Cnpleasant. To all members of the Romish Chiurcb it will be und-r anathema and those who go to the theatre of an evening to cap the day with three hours of amusement and relaxa- tion will grieve under its painful numbers." Percy Hammond, la The Tribune: ••Concern- ing Mr. Patterson's Tiews on divorce and the attitude Of tbe cburoh toward that parlali of our civilized Institutions,' It will not be the purpose of this report to siieak.' In bis play. Rebellion. pre.aenb-d at the.Grand Opera RonAe last evening with much popular approval. Mr. Patterson utFered arguments for and against, and was content to let the logical facts, in an Indlvldnal Instance , prevail, , It Is possible, however, to record that as a'dramatist he hns contrived the most serious, the most interesting, and tbe. most honest example of playmaking tbat an American writer has' < given to the stage In my exp-rlence as a professional theatre- goer. Rebellion is a simple, direct uncomprom- 'sing relation of a series of episodes full of lite and tbe real Joys and sorrows of it—and It Is a pleasure to attest that tbe unusually flue audience present last.evening so considerwi It." - • '0. li.
