Mr. Miller will not appear In the play himself, but will prepare It for stage preparation and give bis personal at- tention to Its production. It will bava Its Initial performance In Chicago early In Sep- tember. Mrs. Trask'a play lends Itself to powerful dramatic treatment. It deals very largely with the topic of universal peace. The sceno of the first act Is laid In an American village at the outbreak of an Imaginary war between tbe United States and another power. Tho second act, In two scenes, shows, first, tho rendezvous of the soldiers prior to an en- gagement, and then the culmination of tho battle. The third act Is again In the Ameri- can village. Among the principal characters In the play Is a young man of excellent pros- pects, who goes to tbe front, distinguishes himself by personal bravery, but Is vividly Impressed by the barbarism and folly of war- faro between nations. He returns to hi* native village, where bis benefactor, tbe wealthy man of the neighborhood, in the facs of adverse public opinion, upholds htm In his course, and where the romance of tho earlier scene of tbe play Is brought to a bonny termination. There will be necessarily a large cast, and the production will be upon a scale not alone elaborate, but one tbat lends Itself, as well, to unusually picturesque treatment.
