In Its staging the production has been very well lookt-d after, with the result that there are some plctnres provided that are 1 keen de> light. The story Is laid In Ronu* during ibe reign of Diocletian, when the Christian* an> beinjr put to death on every Itond for.naln- tnlnlng their faith. Marco Valerius has re- cently won tbe Emperor's medal for declama- tion, and has been made a- captain of the royal guard, Artemin, the princess, falls lp love Willi him, and they declare their.tender feelings for each other. But Carvlmis, to whom Arterhia has been betrothed by the Kmperor, Informs the girl that Marco is a christian, and she accordingly signs tbe* order for bis death. Later she re- penla , ot ber.. harshness .and folly, and tries to save blm, tut he refusae to renounce hla faith upon ibe .Emperor's demand,'and Dually goes to his death la {he Colosseum, Meantime, b" has converted Artemin to Christianity, and as he Is led away she as- sures him thai she bus embraced the faith. Edward Maokay played Marco Valerius with dignity and convincing force, his reading being uncommonly good. Artemla was de- lightfully played by Edy the Chapman, who proved by her work that she-Is an actress of unusual talent. Sho delivered tbe blank verse with much -.ham, and h«*. remarkably clear ehunr-lRtlcn and pleasing voice made her reading keenly enjoyable. .Malcolm-Wil- liams j played with hla usual ..cleverness, rising to n plane of great excellence la his strong scene vllh. the princess.'In the . second net. and giving throughout n well rounded -performance.
