Morrison as HYephisto.

Last night Mr.. Lewis Morrison began q
threc-ngbt engagement at the Theatre IN
"tausf, the Wcl-huOWn spectacle IN which he
has etarIei Tor a number of seasons past.
lail-sizcd audience was present and tho pop
ular actor and his company seemed TO please
them much.

known OF coutcmI OraIy spectaces and evidently
hae a strong hold upon tho affections OF the pub
hc for Il has lived longer shan produ tions OF its
Kind usually do. lt IS succession OF pretty stage
rictuieq. which illustrate the wcll-AnOWn TO
nance that Goethe has given 50 the stage. IL
cannot be said that the literary part OF the
adaptation which Mr.. Morrison uses Is other
than commonplace but the strong per-
s0nalitv Of Morrison himself makes one
overlook this and see only the poetry and
romance Of the theme. Take t altogether II Is
something that will charm those vino are poeti-
caliy aud romantically inclined, and while men
who are callous ,and perhaps a triile blase) may
see the practical hand OF the stage mechanic IN
tho glamour OF D., ingenious minds Will tho
roughly enjoy its mysterious and beautiful
changes Of scene.
The spectacle Is we'll put on and all OF the
stage ofiects are weu done. The company sup
porting 3ir Morrison is very fair, and the entire
presentation may be termed genuine success.
The engagement is iOr the rest OF the week,
