last night. Inc theater was damned
So great was the crush that the door
had to be closed and hundreds turned
away. The play was given in full
without police interference aud received
much applause. S ,lmi Morse was called
before the curtain and made speech
in which he said he was happy and fui
of thankfulness. Qnite sensation wa.
caused by the drop curtain almost TAX
ing fire from the footlights. A large
police force was present.
Loud applause followed the lowering
of the curtain, and there We're calls
for Morse which would admit of nc
denial. When the author appeared

we'll received, the scenery in each be-

history. Christ appears first in the
fourth act at the Brook kedron, with
his twelve declples, and again in the
fifth act before Pontius Plate, which is
perhaps the shortest act in the play.
These are the only two acts In which
the Savior appears.

"Well there has been a great deal of
misrepresentation of the play in San
Francisco. 1t was not objected to by
the better class of people. 1t was only
the bisotedly strictly fault finding
Christians who were against it. They
would not accept anything good or bad.

don't think it will last forever by the
present appearance. They make great
mistake by having amateurs. Ia San
Francisco the best actors were en-
ployed. Ii you h we man to repre-

The Herald says editorially: It must
be admitted that the work Is not what
fancy has painted it. Scenes at which
reli gious persons were expected to hold
up their hands in holy horror were not
presented at all. There was no Last
Supper. no agony in the Garden, n"
betrayal. no beating, butfetipg or crown
ing with thorns, no bearing OF the Cross
to Calvary, no cruclfiIxIOn. The story
as presented is entirely without often
slve features. Neither does it appear
to promise to exert its great moral in-
iuence which the author claimed for 1t.
for the text is far too verb,se to be
impressive and the acting too lit
tie and feeble to excite any one fer
or against any character. Among
theater.goers it may be nine days
