UMANN DRAMATIC CO

"THE SIGN OF THE CROSS,

Last night, the Bandmann Dramatic Com- pany presented to a somewhat small but age 'preciativo audience Wilson Barrett's well-known masterpiece, The Sign of the Craic The piece was well mounted, and the only regret is that there was not a larger audience to ap preciate the able exposition of the powerful drama by the talented Company.

The story of the persecution of the Christians

by Nero and his Romans is too well-known to need recapitulation here. Mr. Henry Dallas appeared in the part of Marcus Superbus and it will suffice to say that in comic roles as in more austore impersonations, Mr, Dallas can with equal ease compel the attention of the audience. Ar Tizellinus, Mr. Sydney Porse was superb The partof Nero was entrusted in to the bands of Mr. Alec. Alves, who, throughout the piece, in. vested his acting with a force and power which was in absoluts keeping with the character of the debauches Emperor. Mr. Harwood Roberts as Glubus, and Mr. W. F. Riley is Fhitodemus," patricians of Rome; were distinctly good, while Mr. Edward Granby as Liceoves entered fully into the spirit of the] character. The part of Mercia was isken by Miss Lillian Lloyd, who admirably sustained a difficult le and received a handsome floral ir buia during the evening. Miss Florence Dalion played the part of Poppoes' with her "In a communication received from the usual grace Mrs. Henry Dallis and Miss Minnie Rayner as Berines and Dacia were French Government, it is requested that the bath good, and the other parts were all well troops be withdrawn.';

Kim, aged about fifteen,, was standing at the corper of Centre Strzet with a few of his chums watching a hawker manipulating an ice-cream freezer.it being a bot day the boys had dis carded their fickets, which they carried over their shoulders in a rather careless fashion, While the lads were so interested in the art of ice-cream making Leung Mo Kau, who had been forming plans, approached Chan Kam from behind and, getting his hand into the boy's pocket, extracted bis purse, which contained something like $1.15. The deed was witnessed by another Bay and the alarm was givan. The thief dropped the purse immediate ly, but ere he could bolt he was seized by the boys and turned over to a policeman.
