6opheles in q scenic and spectacular version
of g Faust would scarcely be willing to
credit the statement that Mr.. Morrison is
also an excellent light comedian. Such is
the case, nevertheless, for in his earlier
years on the stage he was assigned to every
class of work, and it was this remarkable
versatility that first caused the prediction
to be made that Morrison would some day
become one of the leading stars of the
American theatrical armament. No one,
however, had any idea that it would be in
the role of Mephistopheles that he would
win great fame and 8 greater fortune.
All actors have faults which they seem
never to be able to entirely correct, ard
Morrison is no exception to the rule. His
one great fault is a tendency to overelab-
crate details at the expense of the more
important portions of his picture where he
considers it sufficient only to lay the color
on with prodiga1 hand. This tendency is
more marked now than ever, due, doubt
less, to the playing of practically only one
role for many years, a thing which every
conscientious actor ought to endeavor to
avoid If he have any regard for his after
work.
Mr.. Morrison has had a most eventful
life In the early days of his theatrical ca
reer, while he was playing a couple of new
roles each week, John S. Clarke was
among the first to appreciate his worth,
nut Street thester, Philadelphia, that he
gained much of the experience and knowl-
edge of his profession that has enabled him
to reach his present pinnacle of fame. In
fact, he was called from there to take lead
ing parts at the Union Square theater,
New York, and still later appeared under
the management Of Lester Wallack. Dur
ing his long career he has supported such
eminent artists as Mccullough and Bar
rett, SaIvini and Adelaide Nelson, and it
was an offer from Henry Irving for him
to play Mepkistopheles to the latter's
Faust that led him into making a tour of
America with company of his own in the
same attraction. His success was such as
to cause him to repeat it, and it is evident
from his wonderful inpersonatiOn Of his
satanic majesty that he is in the very ze-
NTH of his powers as q tragedian. 1t is not
generally known that Mr.. Morrison served
throughout the late rebellion with distinc-
ton, winning a captains commission be-
fore he was 10 and breYetted major before
being mustered cut.
Mr. Morrison is dark, has black, curly
hair, is about 5 feet 1917 inches in height
and slight in build, weighing about 40
pounds. He is the embodiment OF grace, a
most fascinating conversstionalist, is gen
erous to a fault and is one of the most de-
Birable acquaintance imaginable.
