Mr. Chasles Mathews has written for the
Gaiety Theatre, London, play bearing the
suggestive title ''ME Awful Dad" The idea OF
the play is to depict youth as severe and occu-
pied With worldly interests and age as volatile
and addicted to frivolous pleasures. The satire
Of Alexandra Dumas, "Un Pere Prologue" ia
not fully carried ont. There is no effort in Mr.
Mathews play to do more than place in ludi-
c1ous light tho tribulat!ons which u dfsreputable
father brings upon the head Of q co1d-blo0ded
and pur1tanical son. Tho Athen6euna says
"Cnarse ns ia the workmanship and unpleasant
as is the company to which the audieuoo ia in
troducedt tie adaptation bns some power to in
terest and amuee. Its situations. from farcica1
standpoint, Gro ingenious, md tho whole, with
q largo amount OF indulgence, which, happily
for the translator, the audinnce is dispo5sd to
accord, maY be found diverting."
