WHOLE THEATRE ARRESTED.
The remarkable scene of SSO persons being '■ escorted to a police-station created conI siderable excitement in Russia the other ' evening. While a -Polish drama was being played in the theatre at. 'Bendzin, .Russian Poland, ' the Chief of Police entered at the head ' of a strong force of his men and declared that everyone present, including spectators, 1 actors, and scene-shifters, was under arrest. All were taken to the police-station, • where they were questioned for hours. They were only released next morning after their identity had been established. ' All were informed. however, that they would be prosecuted for machinations dangerous to the State. The drama, it seems, was being performed despite its prohibition by the censor.
