Lewis Morrison in "Faust."

The orenlng night OF Mr.. Lewis Morrison's
sFsust,' at the Seattle opera-house last evening
served TO draw out large and representative
audience In spite OF the bad state OF the
weather Other productions OF Faust" have
been picturesque and strong in acting, but Mr.
Morrison, seeing the capabilities of the old
legend for dramatic presentation, staked his
success upon emphasizing the supernatural
which plays go important a part in Il; and his
great success with his production is the best
possible evidence that his judgment was cor
rect Lewis Morrison s Faust is known East
and West IS one of the notable stage produc
tons of recent years. All the ingenuity that
has been pressed into the service of stage
mechanism has been levied upon to contribute
to its success and the result as seen in that
notable stage spectacle, the Broken scene has
had few parallels on any stage for the realism of
its horrors Mr.. Morrison's Mephistopheles is
an extremely we'll balanced and powerful i'm
personation-one that is remembered long for its
dread diabolism. From his entrance az the
tempter into DR.. Faustus' laboratory, till his
exit IN the lest scene, he kept the eyes OF the
audience upon him by the strength of his work
as effectually as IL he had been exerting the
internal powers which are the attributes OF the
character which he was enacting Alike In the
insinuating way with which he gained his as
cendancy over the erudite philosopher, the con-
seriousness of power with which he engaged
tHc HicD Vi revolving Stuueuis, tHo MOCK respect
with which he gains the attention of Margue-
rite, the cynical moeking which characterized
his relations with Dame Martha and in the re-
lentlessness and heartless way in which be goads
Faust on to Marguerite's ruin, he exhib
tied the seheming devil through the
widely differing phases of the character
As Marguerite Mrs. +. Roberts acting was char
acterized by force and good taste, the result be-
ing finished stage impersonation. Her Mar
guerite is modest peasant girl of fineness of
feeling rare in such class, but such a one as to
win the love of Faust. Mr. W. r. Owen as Faust
was youthful to the point of boyish exuberance
after the transformation scene, but in several of
the more serious scenes he did very creditable
work. siebel in the hands of Mr.. l. J. Hall was
carefully enacted. Miss C. Carter as Madame
Schueriein or Martha, played the part on broad
comedy lines that proved very popular and eff
fective. The character of Valentine was given
true soldierly fiavoring by Mr. Percy Hunting
As students Messrs. Fondray, saunderson,
Brooks, and as peasant maidens Misses Ingram
and Fondray enacted minor roles very accept
ably. The mounting and scenery of the play
were excellent, and as the acting was we'll bal
anced as well as strong individually, the engage
ment viii doubtless meet with the success
which one of the most ingenius tragedies upon
the stage deserves.

NO TRANSFERS GIVEN.
Union Trunk Line Defrauded by I'm
scrupuIous Passengers.

The Union Trunk Line has ceased giving
transfer tickets for passage across the city for
day or two. The company has been seriously
handicapped by the lack of cars, and has been
forced to transfer passengers at the James street
power-house. Transfer checks were given up to
Wednesday from one section of the road to
the other. These checks were simply slips of
pasteboard and were good on any line. The
company learned that many OF these checks
were being used for two separate trips by
INSCRIPTIONS passengers. For instance, q man
might board a car at Pioneer place, pay cents
fare and receive a transfer check on saying that
he wanted to go out on the northern branch
He might get off at the top of the hill, or
wherever he might wish to stop, and keep the
check. Then on his return to town he would
produce this check in lieu OF fare,
thus getting two rides for one fare. This trick
was worked so thoroughly that the company
was losing many dollars daily by it, As il now
stands passenger may 60 from Pioneer place to
the end of any division OF the line, or from the
end of any division to Pioneer place on on fare
but no transfer checks are given from one Sec
ton OF the Broadway line to the other The
company will have a check system ready for
Sunday, and passengers can then ride from the
northern to the southern city limits for a nickle
