She said TO several musical critics who came

fore Cavps MARY OF Magdala," but appeared
twelve years later. Now comes GOveau's
Christ" written thirty years ago, and which
might never have seen the fo0tlights but for The
success OF Bovio's piece. In Bovio's play, how
ever, Christ does not apDe ar on the stage. Only
his voice is heard, and in Calyi's "Mary of
Maadala" Christ is neither seen nor heard. IN
Goveau's play, which has so recently appeared
IN Turin, Christ is both seen and heard. He
nils the stage from beginning 10 end, performs
miracles and discusses religious subjects with
the high priests. Mary OF Magdala and Pilates
vile join the people IN their ardent love for
Jesus. The Apostles have minor parts. All
the characters are well treated, but the lan-
guage Is monotonOus. Nevertheless the play
is success. In moral sentiment The world
moves, II would appear, but that it is IN the
Iight direction is not so plain TO some people as
II may be TO others.
