Lewis Morrison played 10 very gOou
business at the Funke last week. The
people, lpttered and unlettered, like this
drama, the critic does not know why.
The time and the subject are medieval.
Theatre-goers no longer believe in the
devil or in magic. Besides, the play is
SO badly articulated and composed of
such unrelated parts that MorrisOn's
arrangement and Irving's differ in es-
sential points without affecting the ac-
tion of the play. The tower. the church
square, the garden, the Broken and
the prison are like scenes from
as many different plays. Es-
pecially is the impertinent Broken
scene cut off from that which
goes before and that which comes after.
1t has no raison d'etre. unless il be for
the moral lesson and the jolly and CON-
monplace fireworks. which, set of by
the sprightly ladies, delight instead of
frightening the small boy. But even
the internal regions is better than the
garden scene. where Marguerite, Faust,
Martha and Mephisto wander in and
out around and around that hOrrid lit
tie plant-pot tete-a-tete, set in the CEN
ter Of the stage. When Faust comes
in Mephisto goes out, like the toy ba-
rometer man and woman who appear
alternately. But railing is idle; the
people like the play. Church's COM
pany made money with it, and Mr.. Nor
risen has played it for twelve years

the unlettered. The university people
are generally present in numbers, with
a critical expression on that is most
depressing. And the gallery is filed to
the stairs with gamins and impecuni-
Gus lovers of the spectacular This
being the case. it makes very little diff
ference to managers, to the actors and
to the public in general whether hack
Mr.. Morrison's Mephisto is a genial,
jolly, grinning devil. Wickedness is
joyless and saturnine. and Mr..
Morrison endeavors to make his
50, but ne is defeated to some
extent by his good disposition. Mar
guerite was sweet, though occasionally
ultra-girlish. Faust had a magnificent
physique feet and something over,
but was painfully STACEY and artificial.

was very good, and historically accu-
rate. The scenery was especially pleas
