English's-'The Lost Paradise"
After witnessing the first performance of
1.-THE Lost Paradise" at English's last
night, there is no longer any wonder why
William Morris left stock company work in
New York and took to the road as a star.
Morris is one of the biggest men in lead
ing roles. and he is good as he is big. 1.-The
Lost Paradise" gives him a part at times
powerfully effective with the audience. AS
superintendent of a large factory he stands
between the men and the owners until the
situation becomes so strained that he is
forced to take sides. He has made great
sacrifices to the proprietors on account of
an attachment to a daughter of one of the
firm, and when the worst. comes and the
strike is inevitable. he casts his lot with the
ing monopoly and employees reduced to slav-
cry is here told in drama AS might be
guessed, the situations are thrilling, one
after another. The sympathy of the audi
ence is constantly appealed to, and the
audience constantly replies with a success

men and the. crowding out Of the firm of

many strikes now are ended as the one in
THE Lost Paradise
One of the most powerful incidents in
the play Is the stormy interview between
the proprietors and a committee of the men.
Herschel Hay, a spokesman of the men,
with his sinewy bare arms, his tragic long
face and emphatic action, is a heroic idol
of the labor element. The main characters
are acceptably taken. The gaunt, hungry
face of the factory girl at the window In
the last act is a scene that leaves a
poignant impression. There is a supply
of comedy throughout the piece, depending
largely on the work of Eta Hawkins
Without this the pathos of the many
stirring scenes would be unbearabIe. Miss
Hawkins, in her character of "Cinders," a

rank as a Coincidence of 10 mean ability
