THE LIGHT ETERNAL. Local residents who anticipate vis I itiug Kort Wayne during the next lev days—whether they are avowed thea-ter-goers or not —should arrange to make the trip on Saturday of this week and include a visit to the Majestic theater in their itinerary. On that date the sixteenth and seven ! teenth performances of the big speei tacular religious drama, 'The Light Eternal,” will be given at the Majestic 1 — matinee and night. First produced I at that theater two years ago this play i i has been able to make the remarkable . I record of playing to over 17,500 paid ' admissions in Fort Wayne a> >ne — nearly one-third of the population of , the Allen county metropolis having I seen it. ' "The Light Eternal"’ unquestion- ! ably one of the greates* popular suc- ' cesses the stage has had in many seaI sons, and to its popularity is added ■ the quality of dramatic action and i breadth of purpose that makes the ■ drama worth while. It is a powerful I and picturesque romance of the ; fourth century of the Christian era I and deals with the n«>r;ecution of the I early Christian;: oy the pagans of ■ Rome under Emperor Diocletian. The . play is in four acts, the settings or 1 which are wonderfully beautiful and j true to the period portrayed. The i costuming is along gorgeous lines and i the presenting company is adequate to every demand. At least one member | of the cast is well known to many ’ eople of this city. Louise Dunbar, vho was for two seasons leading wo l man with Our () n Stock company, at the Majestic, Is appearing in the I principal feminine role —that of the j pagan Princess Artemia, who is ultiI mately converted to Christianity and I who shares the glory of martyrdom : with the man sl.e loves, after her jealousy has irretrievably condemned him to the arena. Mier Dunbar is an actress of high talent, and in this play she is surrounded by a cast of players far above the usual standard. Two performances of "The Light Eternal" will be given Saturday, and they are announced as the farewell appearance of the pl»’- in Fort Wayne for at least two years—as the management has arranged .or an extended tour of the Pacific coast country starting early next fall. Tickets may be ordered by mail. I ABOUT THE SICK .
