WILSON BARRETT's GREAT PLAY, "CLAuD.
IAN"
"Claudian." the great play in which
the famous actor, scholar and royal good
fellow generally, Wilson Barrett,will ap.
pear in at the Grand opera house next
Wednesday night. March 18th, was orig
inally produced at the Princess theatre
in London, when that famed temple Of
TheSpiS was under Mr. Barrett's manage
ment. The London Times, speaking Of
this play and its presentations, said:
This drama contains much that
is noble in sentiment, and it Is
Superbly staged and admirably acted. 1t
tells the story Of the crime, punishment
and repentance OF pagan liOertine, who
for the murder of a holy hermit, who
would have stood in the way of his I'M
bridled passions, is condemned to perLe-
tual youth, coupled with the yearntng
to do good yet seeing all those whom he
would bless, cursed and blighted by the
baleful influence which attends his every
action.
Mr.. Barrett's Claudian And iates prov
ed a HOe SGuuy picturesque anu poMeilui
to a degree. Whether as the handsome
young patrcian voIuptuary Of the Pro-
Iogue or the remorse stricken man Of the
play he was admirable. His appearance
was strikingIy effective, his acting almost
faultless. BY score OF little touches he
brought out the full significance of the
story and the classical dress Of the period
suited him tn perfection. The earthquake
tabeau, where, in the midst of the
ruined palace ''Claudian" poses In
an attitude of horror and despair was a
scene not likely to be forgotten in a
hurry. 1t was marvellous realistic"
"Claudian" will be given here with all
it's original scenery, costumes and the
great earthquake effect.
Mr.. Barrett will also appear at a
matinee performance of the delightful
love romance The Stranger" on
Wednesday afternoon. These will be his
only performances in this city.
