Curtis New PLAY.

Sam'l OF Posen's new play, The Shatcnen,"
was produced in Rochester. n. y, on the 21st
inst. II is by Henry D0bn and Charles DICK
son. Tie Democrat and Chronicle says that 1t
was excellently well acted throughout and
achieved popular success due very largely to
MIR. Curtis artistic rendition of the part of Meyer
Petowssy, which is SAINT of Posen under an
other name, and Lewis MOrrisons magnificent
impersonatiOn OF Joseph Lewis part of great
possibilities Indeed, the cast could not he i'm
proved. There was not flaw to be found 10 the
presentation. But the play Itself Is materially
faulty-so faulty that 1t seems iRcorrigibe. II
seems TO have started with the idea OF easing the
relations between Gentes and Hebrews by
showing that Hebrews, in spite OF various ma
tiona pecuIiariiies, are pretty good sort OF peo-
pie after all. The task IL has set for itself is de-
cidedlv work of supererosation and its per-
Torrance involves sort of patronage that most
self-respectlng members of the encouraged race
are, lustifaby, prone 10 resent. THIS remark
has no reference to Mr.. Curtis part. The pecu-
liariiies OF Meyer Petowsky are the peeulIarities
OF underbred men of every religion, and his
generosity and good-heartedness are traits that
men Of every religion may be proud of. Bnt
Joseph Lewis, 4 broad minded Jew, a man
abi east OF the times, is made to curse his own
son with the most awful anaihema the dramatist
can conceive OF simply because lie has married a
Gentle. He loves this GENTLE girl, speaks OF her
as his daughter and has objection to her at all
save that she Is a GENTLE. Here Is an absolute
anachronsm, for the time OF - The Shalchen" Is
the present day, not the fifteenth century. Such
performance WAS possible then. 1t Is not pos
sible now The words of the curse are moreover
the most solemn words in the Jewish ritual-Ihe
words of the prayers for The dead. They embOdy
the Jewish creed. They are words that ought
never to be spoken on the Stage. AS used in the
play their utterance is Il blasphemy and would
not Jews, II they were literally translated into
English. They Will probably b. eliminated here
after, but the serious fault OF the play lies in Its
very conception. Its whole interest its best sit.

Mr.. Wilson Barrett and the entire company
from The Princess Theater, London, accom-
panied incidentally by four Carloads Of scenery,
are now definitely headed toward the Pacific
Coast. We regard Mr.. Barretrs appearance
here as an important event. The gentleman has
an undisputed reputation as sterling actor, 4
pansiaking manager, a liberal stage director
and an allround thoroughly good fellow. One
feels like receiving him with the metaphorical
open arms He will introduce us to a class OF
drama that has few eXDOnents nowadays. The
romantic and picturesque English plays, not all
upon English subjects, that have made Wilson
Barrett famous, are good ana wholesome dra-
matte diet. In Mr.. Barretrs company is the
famous Miss Eastlake. easily accounted the best
al-round actress in England to-day, not even
excepting Ellen Terry; and Mr.. George Barrett,
brother of the star, who has been accredited
with excellent character work. We are prom
