and scenic production of Faust" at the

Kennedy for an engagement of two nights,
April % and "a Mr.. Kennedy, who has this
and last season gained an envable reputation
us an interpreter Of romantic and melodra-
matte roles, will be supported by Miss Rosa
lind Clay and a large company of capable
players. The company carries all its own
scenery, mechanical and electrical effects,
and the production will be given in strictly
metropolitan ensemble Particular interest
attaches itself to the engagement here from
the fact that for the first time Mr.. Kennedy
will produce Il new acting version OF the
famous tragedy just completed for him by
Mr.. Clinton McCable, formerly of Elkton,
but now dramatic critic of the Baltimore
World. The play will be produced in five
acts. The story opens in the study of Dr.
Faust, an aged German scholar. The old
man bewails his lost youth Satan appears
and offers him youth, happiness, love and
wealth in exchange for his immortal soul
Faust accepts and the demon shows him Il
vision of Marguerite. Fausts falls in love with
the girl but betrays her. In sensational
duel scene he kills her brother. The demon
to drown the remorse of his victim, takes him
to the Broken to witness the witches revel.
This scene is the piece de resistance of the
production. 1t shows weird mountain pass
illuminated by fairy lamps and willow wisps.
At the demons signal the revel begins. Tn
canny forms wheel too and fro, snakes hiss,
unearthly apparitions rise and fade away
The weird effects are produced 10y electricity
which is utilized with wonderful ingenuity
all through the play. The company is brought
here at conderable expense and there is no
doubt will be greeted by crowded houses both
