At thu Lyceum last night local thea tergoers hnd an opportunity of seeing a dramatization of Marie Corelll'ri no vel, "The Sorrows of Satan." This story tells that Satan, having been cast out of heaven. Is doomed to visit the world until such a time ns men shall i eject his temptations. This tuijvursnl rejection will bring about his forgive ness. Naturally, therefore, his earnest wish is that men shall be moral and uprlnht, although his boast In heaven hinds him to tempt them to be quite the contrary. He, himself, is a model of propriety In human disguise. Ho stops at the most fashionable hotel In London, has fabulous wealth, wears perfect clothes and lh known as Prince Luolo rtlmanez. He meets Ooeffrey Tempest, a poverty stricken llternry man, and to him man uges to convey n largo fortune which Satan hopoB he will use In aid of good deeds. Tempest, however, prefer ,t life of luxury and dissipation and th unfortunate Satan, much against his will, Is forced to lend through nil the sinfulness of London, a leadership which, of cours?, he In eminently fitted to assume, despite his personal repug nance. Tempest meets nnd falls In love with Lady Sibyl Elton, n beauti ful, Ingenious and susceptible girl. Sibyl, however, has fallen In love with tho handsome Hntan himself, and only marries Tempest to better gain the af feotlons of his salable friend. Repulsed by her when, within lnu husband's hearing, she grovels at Ida feet and begs for one hour of liln love, she commits, suicide, hut In her last agony It Is revealed to her that her mad Infatuation has been for the ter rible Prince of Darkness, in nild-ncean the prince dolTs his modern dress, ap pears In tho fiendish garb of the con ventional devil nnd convinces Tempest of an existence beyond the grave. In the wreck that follows tho mortal riles out his fnlth In God and this conver si u places Satan by one soul nearer his own redemeptlon. This unusual and dramatic story was strongly presented last night. Charles Kent demonstrated his worth as an actor by his lluishcd portrayal of the role of l'rlnce Lucln lllmane?.. Miss Emily Dodd In the role of Lady Sibyl hud severul strong scenes, which she carried off in a capable manner. Other clever members of the com pany w -re Hosm O'Neal, Frank Rob erts. Cecil Magnus, Mario Curtis and Anna Mortland. The play la staged In an unusually fine manner. Engagement Closes Today. This afternoon the Shea company ill repeat "A Tale of Two Cities" at the Academy of Music, and tonight tho en gagement will close with a presenta tion of "Man-o'-Wnr's Man." "The Highwayman." The Broadway Theatre Opera com pany announces the re-engagement of Mr. Arthur Deagon, as Captain Scar let, In "The Highwayman." Mr. Dea gon s success with this organization last season, established him as a comic opera favorite of the first quality. In speaking of tho performance of De Ko ven H. Smith's tuneful opera In Roches ter, the following Is quoteu from the local press: "Arthur Deagon, who sings the star male role, makes an ad mirable Captain Scarlet, the Irish sol dier of fortune, ruined by marked cards and loaded dice, who takes to tha road nnd gains notoriety as Captain Scarlet." It Is reported that arrangements have been made with De Koven & Smith to write a new opera which will be pro duced early In the fall, In which Mr. Deagan will appear as a full-fledged star. "The Highwayman" wilt be presented at the Lureum next Monday evening. Aubrey Dramatic Compnny. The attraction at tho Academy of Music next week will be the Aubrey Dramatic Stock company, an organiza tion of superior merit In a repertoire of popular successes. The opening bill will be "The Land of the Living." a thrilling melodrama in five acts by FrnnK Harvey, the great English dramatist. This play Is particularly Interesting at the present time, as some of the scenes are laid In the South African diamond fields and In the vicinity of Klmberley. where the Roers and English nre now lighting. The piece Is handsomely staged and some of the scenes nre novel ns well as beautiful, particularly the ones showing the great London bridge and the House of Parliament. London, in the fourth act is one of the most eal istie scenes over attempted on any stage, namely the explosion scene In a den in London, the walls of the place are seen to tremble, give way nnd then fall and then the debris catches on lire and the curtain falls as the hero brave ly rescues the heroine from among the ruins. The company cairles h number oi Metropolitan specialty artists, who change their specialties at every per formance. 'Hearts of Oak." "Hearts of Oak," by James A. Heine, a forerunner of his other successful play. "Shore Acres," is to be presented at the Lyceum next Tuesday by a com pany selected, rehearsed and managed hy the author. "Hearts nf Oak" will come to this generation of play-goer almost in the shape of a novelty, not having been seen in this city for a very long time. A splendid production Is promised, a good company, and with out doubt plenty or Mr. Heine's New England realism will be InterjHcted Into the presentation. "Hearts of Oak" Is divided Into six acts, almost 'a nov elty in itself in these days. In the east are E, p. Sullivan, as Terry Den nlson. the part plnyed by Mr. Herno for so long: James Heine, ns Ruby Darrell: Nat Jones, ns Owen Garro- way: Ida Hamilton, as Chrystal, and ' wie oiner parts by Thomas Hunter, Ellote Hnnlkins. .Marie Adair, FrnncU Lenry, Charles Hates.
