FROM TORTURE TO FREEDOM.

DR. BORANOFF, THE RUSSIAN , EXILE. \ "Clean shaven and of clearly cut | features, indicative of the scholar and thinker, of medium build ; still a com- j paratively young man — such ia Dr. j Boranoff/' says the Bristol Echo. In Russia he and ' his compatriots have striven for freedom of conscience, free- f dom of speech, and freedom of press, ( bo that a man should have an open , hand to gain intellectual power and develop his education. They have sacrificed their liberties, endured physical , suffering, mental torturo and jeopardised their lives. Dr. Boranoff is a Russian political exile, and has suffered imprisonment in dreaded Siberia. He escaped from Siberia on three different occasions and will deliver a dramatic pourtrayal of his terrible experiences there, appearing in the Theatre Royal on Thursday evening next, June 17. Dr. Boranoff tells a thrilling story of arrests, of imprisonment without trial, of transportation to the droaded > Siberian mines, experiences crowded into years of active work for Russian freedom. The box plan opens at Collier s on Tuesday morning and special concessions are notified for ladies. Colleges and schools may arrange for concessional prices on application to the box office. The doctor will be welcomed at the railway station on his arrival by leading citizens.
