brance of the beautiful sentiment
they have heard. That is the very
point of superiority that the average
play-goer makes in favor OF Mr.. Carle-
toms play. Paul di Novara, the leading
character of The Lions Mouth, is a
picture of ideal manliness. He is loyal
in love, valiant in war, unswerving in
his cause and thoroughly upright in
character. Besides all this he is young,
robust and handsome. Mr.. Carleton
has given him speeches that are forcible
and sublimely beautiful, and, consider

of the most admirable characters ever
introduced to the stage.

ra the exact character the author in.

other man identified with the American
stage who could impart to Mr.. Carle
toms hero the qualities that make him
such a thorougly admirable character.
Mr.. Warde's Interpretation of the part
is really great. His lines are of the style
that tempt the actor to rant, but Mr..
Warde carefully avoids the tempta-
tion."
