SCENE--FRANCE. TIME. 1794.
ACT I.--THE TERROR. Scene--The interior of the study of Paul Kauvar.
ACT II.--THE INHUMANITY OF MAN. Scene--Prison of the Conciergerie
adjoining the Revolutionary Tribunal in Paris.
ACT III.--THE CONFESSION. Scene--The Grand Hall of the Chateau of
Delaroche in La Vendee.
ACT IV.--ON PAROLE. Scene--Same as Act III.
Three minutes will elapse between Acts IV. and V.
ACT V.--"'TWIXT LOVE AND HONOR." Scene--Same as Act IV.
The Tableau which concludes this performance, and rivals in power
and beauty the famous dream scene of the first act, represents
allegorically
"THE CONQUEST OF EVIL."
It is a poetic picture, full of deep thought and careful study. The
central figure is that of the Angel of Conquest, with one foot upon
the prostrate fiend Anarchy, holding high that irresistible weapon of
progress, the Sword of Light. The fiend carries in his hands the Torch
and Flag of Anarchy, and with these is about to sink into the Abyss of
Darkness.
