,EVELATION, the newest
play of Alme. Wezimova,

Practically all the inter-

based upon an old monk's legend of
l rose bush in the garden or tne
monastery which has never bloomed
and which Is considered by the monks
as a sign of divine displeasure. One
lay as a monk prays beside the bush
be has a vision of the Holy Mother
: arising from it and at the same time
notices that the bush is covered with
oses. '
Joline. as a model, brings fame to
the work of Paul, an artist friend, and
they trick the monks to allowing her
to enter the garden as a boy, where
he paints her as '"f he Madonna of the
Rose Bush." A Wonk ' imagines he

life in No Man's Land.

venge. Upon the' death of the father,
Jason vows vengeance on his half
rother in his place. In Iceland both
men are condemned to the mines
where Jason, not knowing his .half

most dramatic scene, Jason not only
spares the life of his half brother,
but goes to death in his place because
the girl with whom both are in love
prefers the brother.
