Is nothing in the comic parts that even sug-

sult is so incongruous as 10 be wholly out
ofthe domain OF art and an abSurdity pure
and simple.
The play is as faulty in detail as in con-
struction. The action is not lively, the sit
nations are not novel, the talk is not
bright In the comic portions nor intense
in the tragic. In scarcely single passage
is there any trace of that vivid and i'm
pressive style of which Stevenson was so
complete master. 1t would be easy to
lind in any of his novels conversations far
more dramatic and more brilliant than
any that occur in this aVowedly dramatic
work. 1t would seem that Stevenson NAV
have conceived the bold idea of blending
a farce with a melodrama, but in the
weakness of his last days was unable to
carry 1T out, and therefore made it a part
nership work with MIR. Hawley, and left
to that gentleman the task of completing
the design.
About the only interest that can be
taken in the work will grow out of the
question 1t will raise as to the possibility
of successfully combining farce and melo-
drama on thesStage. Shakespeare d Id not
hesitate to introduce comic elements into
his tragedies, but he never made any one
character both tragic and comic. It is
MercUtio WHO makes the jest and it is
Romeo who kills himself. Macaire, how
ever, is both the jester and the murderer.
He plays for two acts the light villainy OF
pears as the murderous sCoundrel OF nelo-
drama. There are certainly wonderful
possibilities in the development OF a char
acter OF that kind and it yet may be sue
cessfullv portrayed on the stage. 1t has
not been well done in this instance, but,
perhaps. Stew enson's conception may yet
be taken up by a master dramatist and a
melodramatic farce become one of the tri-
