.iMUSEMESIS.

From time to time the endless ebb aud
flow of plays aud players IN Omaha is varied
by the inrush of some work, some company,
some artist. As we sit and watch the move
ment of the mimic world we see something
brighter, nobler, loftier than the dull tide of
current drama, and hope springs perennial in
the heart that something more enduring
than "tar-ra-ra boom-de-ay' will result.
But the seasons close shows up more plays
of the latter kind than the former and hope
is left not one leg 10 stand upon
Last evening new impetus was given the
local stage, and the theatrical season opened
auspiciously bv the appearance OF Mr.. Robert
Downing and company in Sheridan Knowles
thoroughly well balanced play. "Virginus,'' ~
which has been the piece de resistance Of
almost every tragedian in Il generation.
Mr.. Downing's portrature OF the Roman
father who murders his child to save her
from the lust of Appius Claudius is fine
bit of acting, not particularly subtle. but
worthy OF place alongside the impersona-
tion given the character by the lamented Nc
Cullough. So wonderful has been Mr.. Down.
iug's advance ment in the his onic art that
one cannot help but ask, Is not this
earnest young worler in the line for the
mantle of MIR. Booths He has learned the
fine art of repression, of subordination, and
the character has been made potential to the
man, lessons of Infinite value to the actor.
His forum scene was rong, almost vlrile,
his best work being seen in the cell OF
Claudius and over the dead tody of the
latter. 1t was fine dramatic climax.
Mr.. Downing's company, however. with
the exception of Mr. +. G. Mosley, Mr..
Mark Price. Mr. George Macolnbsr aud
Miss Eugenla Blair, is not as strong as a
striving artist deserves, and then the Roman
populace and the Roman lictors were very
matter of fact boys who knew little OF what
was expected of them and less OF Rome
under tho decemvirs. But that Is usually
truo of all Omaha mobs and soldiers who arc
clothed for night in the panoply Of q by
gone civilization.
Mr.. Mark Price made fine Appius
Claudius, reading with intelligence and
classical Interpretation. There was no
falterng here. but a thoroughly sustained
study of Roman citizen elevated ABOVE his
associates. Mr. Mosley, one of tho bes,
leading men in Shakespearean rolls on the
stage, and always a painstaking and con
scientious artist, is not seen at his best In
the role OF Icilius, counterpart of Romeo
MIR. Mosiey does not play lovers well. He
needs more subtle part like that of Cussius
or Brutus, or Antony, 10 bring out the long
training h ehas had in support of all the
eminent tragedians since the war. What q
beautiful picture Of youthful grace and
| loveliness does Miss Eugenia Blair present
as Virginia! And she brings to the part an
| Intelligence and voice which are quite the
| ;ivals of her beauty and grace. 1t would bC
| hard to conceive of more tender, more be
witchiug Virginia, ana the lmpersonatior
lacks none of the essentials to make it stanC
