Lewis Morrison's "Faust. ]"

Lewis Morrison ie in the character
 of Mephisto will always be the note
 worthy one even among attractions of
 more modern construction because it's
 dramatic picture win never be more in- terestingly and appealingly set forth and again because it is d play that leads it. self naturally to the most elaborate of spectacular pictures and stage effects of telling character. Not only this, but for the reason that MT. Morrison has not only given care and attention to the study of the character, but he has set his picture in a perfect frame. In other
 words, he has given the author every aid in staging his play. For the current season every one of the several stage settings is. entirely new, both in their conception and texture, and to this has been added an entirely new costuming of the play throughout. So that the beauties of the story will be illustrated with entirely new scenic surroundings.
 The company that will be seen in sup port is composed of excellent material and embraces among others talented Florence Roberts and Edward Elsner
 Lewis Morrison will pay his annual visit to this city on tomorrow evening, presenting his well known and always popular production of GeOthe's Faust V which will never pail upon lovers of things theatric, for it's story is always bright and entertaining. however often told MT. Morrison in his conception of Mephisto, is a sly, insinuating devil, an evil one of such great personality that he dominates not only the play but the players as well. In every's scene and act Mephisto is the center around which all the others revolve, and it can be truly said that MT. Morrison is an idealization of the part in every way. The produc- tion of this season will be seen with en- tirely new stage settings and scenic en- vironment more elaborate. if anything,
 than those which have preceded it in
 seasons past. The electric effects are still a notable novelty unsurpassed by
 none and equalled by few attractions that have been given us since electricity
 came to be such an important factor in stage effects. The supporting company
 embraces that very talented and winning actress, Florence Roberts, as Marguerite
 And Edward Elsner as Faust.
