THE THEATRE


audiences OF the season at the Funke.
Mr.. Morrison's Mephisto is beyond
criticism so far rs his own presentation
and that OF his company is concerned.
He has worked it up scenicslly and dra-
matically till there lie little to be suggest
cd in the way of improvement. 1t is
mysterious why Faust" should be 30
popular as a play. 1t is not Goethes
Faust. The sentiment is forced, the devil
10 not the Biblical or Miltonic Beelze-
hub, he is just clownish villain making
very poor jokes at an easy audience,
who laugh for no apparent reason. 1t is
full OF rant and cant and uninsPiring
situations. According to the canons OF
play writing it is poor play yet it draws
q crowd, 90 the critics are silenced. The
people know what they want without
consulting them and that they do not the
crowds who patronize Faust are
sufficient indication.
james O'Neill played to good business
ut the Oliver on Wednesday night. Mr..
O'Neill always does his best. His con-
science is OF the old fas lioned kind
which references the profession OF the
actor at all times and under all
circumstances, conscience when
induces him to stage his plays
With careful attention to de.
tail. to have an excellent company and
finally to play to a small audience with
the same care az to q large one. As
romantic actor, no one disputes his pre-
eminsnce. Monte Christie. and the
French Revolution plays OF which the
dead Heart" is an example, are cos
tune plays on romance-ballad founda'
tiou. The hero is man who laughs at
death, holds woman's honor something
vorth diving for at a moments notice.
He kills his enemies with no more con-
junction than Robin Hood, with even
dashing air of doing the right thing at
the right moment that brings the ever
trenchant gallery to its feet and Its
whistle at once. the dead Heart"
