at the Lansing.
Thursday the 10Th the new three act
Afro American musical comedy Down
on the Suwanee River will be present
ed at the Lansing theatre. 1t may be
well to state that this attraction is en-
tirely different from the production
given here last year under the same
name. This company carries band of
fifty colored people. The first act is
laid in Africa and the succeeding ones
in America. There are forty five color
ed singers and dancers and a full brass
bend. All kinds OF new novelties and
specialties and catchy music embellish
the performance.
Friday, Sept Goth Al Spink's Derby
Winner plays at the Lansing The
Derby Winner claims to be one OF the
greatest race plays on the stage and is
full OF the thrilling situations of the
track. The company carries number
OF clever dancers, singers and colored
comedians, and several expert colored
athletes. A speciality is made Of the
great race scene. The dramatic person
ages are many OF them taken from life
as it was in the great racing days in old
st. Louis.

within the last year or two. No one
will deny that this little soubrette las a
measure OF ability, though firmly be-
lieve that her talents lie principally in
her toes. She can dance, dance with a
natural grace and ease which can never
be taught or acquired by practice. which
must be born into one, and is born with
very few. Cecil's dances are good to
look upon, and / see no reason why in
the coming years she may not throw
Queenie Vassar quite in the shade. Her
acting is, as Rudyard Kipling would say.
another story. She is sometimes clever,
though cannot see any indications OF
a great comedienne. Cecil is not and
will not be bad actress. and when one
can dance and is graceful one does not
have to be great actress. The Spooner
company, il lacking in acting abil-
ity, have the faculty of amusing their
audiences, and that after all is the desi-
deratam, Luckily the Spooners, exclu-
sive OF Cecil make no claims, and their
modesty disarms criticism. II Cecil
couldget away from such plays as the
Hidden Hand" and be permitted to ap-
pear with a more brilliant stage setting
than is possible with the Spooner com
pany, her achievement of fame would be
more rapid. Such capabilities as hers
want spectacular enyoirment rather
than low comedy surroundings.

SOCIAL GOSSIP

Wednesday at noon occurred the mar.
riage OF Miss Sara Schwab and Mr..
Maurice Deutsch at the residence Of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. s.
Schwab. Miss Schwab is well-known
in this city. both as a graduate of the
state university and as teacher for four
years in the city public schools. where
she has always been a great favorite.
Mr.. Deutsch is a merch ant in Beatrice.
He was born in France. and at his
wedding his brother M. Jules Deutsch
was present by special tripfrom Paris.
The Schwab residence was adorned
with palms, ferns and rubber trees and
with a profusion OF bride and La France
roses. The ceremony was performed in
the front parlor, though both parlors
were thrown together for the small
company of the intimate family circle
who alone were present. At exactly
the stroke of twelve the bride and
groom presented themselves under the
brilliant lights OF the central chandelier

Faust. the musical one by Berleo OF
course. 1t is not the model play OF the
world TO start on 1t deals with prob.
lens too abstract. too remote. The day
has gone by when we delighted in
dramas dealing with.the strife between
Gods and men. In days when there
was stronger belief in the supernatural
the play was very well. As for its
literary value. any English version
produced in this country is so utterly
unlike Goethe's original that it is all
lost Then there is that spoonful gar
den scene and that FESTIVE Fourth OF
July on the Broken. Two such acts
would slaughter any play. And there
is Marguerite. ! never yet saw
Marguerite whom l did not long and
yearn to shake. l always want to
lengthen her dresses and teach her to
do her hair up on her head. 1t has
always seemed to me that there was
not enough Of her to make re- pectable
tragedy. There is in the play one great
character, a character unique and
apart, Mephistopheles, the spirit that
denies. A character as strange as
Hamlet and as little unde rstood.
always shrouded in mystery and doubt
The great difficulty in the enacting
OF such character is that Mephisto is
not mortal. Something must be done
to convey the idea OF supreme evil,
OF more than mortal hate. This can
not be done directly. 1t must be
accomplished indirectly and by in
ference. IL man starts to swearing
end reels off his whole repertoire. curses
until he is black in the face. then you
know just how much he can swear. But
if he mutters only an oath or two and
looks the rest you are in doubt. You
wonder what he could do in that line il
he laid himself out and the chances are
you will greatly exaggerate his powers.
The actor who plays Mephisto never
shows his hand. He should awe his
listeners rather than excite them. His
power is in his inscrutable mystery.
The only fault that / have to find
with John Griffithis Mephisto is that it
lacks dignity. axfulness. 1 should not
be afraid OF that kind OF devil His
MephistO is thoroughly jolly fellow
with occasional bursts OF very bad tenn
per. He is so jolly that he is humorous
even when he is angry. do not object
to the comedy which Mr.. Griffith intro
duces, but to the kind OF comedy. Its
too good natured, too undignified, the
kind OF fun one hears among good fel-
lows who are cynical but bear no malice
1t should be, think, deeper comedy
than that, humor that takes in all the
great jests OF this world and the next.
the whole gigantic joke of the creation.
1t should be humor that would made
ones blood run cold. Mr. Griffith has
such a pecaliarlyly fortunate face for
the part that he might leave unsaid
mucn more than he does. If he knew
how much his eyes tell. l think he
would not strain his voice so. He has
intensity enough. but he let's it out too
much; as some one has said. like most
young artists he wastes that which is
most dear. That which, like sentiment,
when sparingly used is beyond price,
when expended lavishly, vulgar and
maudlin.
The Spooners will tonight bring their
tenth appearance in the city to a close.

attentions. Mr.. and Mrs. Deutsch have
already fitted for them home in Beat

return from the wedding journey. The
wedding presents from friends were
beautiful. The bride was remembered
by all her college friends; and from
Europe the family Of the groom had
forwarded many charming gifts.
