SECRET SERVICE,

Secret Seryice," which enjoys the reputation of being the most successful American play ever written, was pre- sented at the Hyperion theater last night before the largest audience of the season. William Gillette has become 8 man of international distinction as a playwright and an actor. The piece has been enormously popular both in this country and England. It's suc- cess at the Adelphi theater in London has become a matter of history. It opened the door of the English theater to American actors and American plays. It is a melo-drama intense and thrilling, but unlike the old fashioned article appealing rather to the intellect than the emotions. It is the realism of Ibsen applied to the methods of Du- mas. It is brainy and clever to an as- tonishing degree. The realism which is empty and void of meaning in plays of the Shore Acres" stamp is here intel 1igently employed. It is intensely modern in spirit and the acting of MT. Gillette in the chief role adds to this feeling. He represses and restraints all emotional display and keeps the key note of the performance low. It is not the way we have been brought up to think that actors should act, but is the way that persons of breeding ordinari- 1y conduct themselves. Mr. Gillette has most magnetic personality and in his case the method is at least permissible. He was most enthusias- ffna1Jv received 1as evening and was applauded and cheered as few actors who come here are. His speech after the third act was a courteous expres- sion of gratitude for himself and his company. The supporting company was competent, but in no respect re- markable.

with prudent scepticism. And any confession obtained by rigorous exam ination must be subsequently, ratified in cold blood, if the expression may be allowed. Refusal to ratify would eX- pose the recusant to a repetition Of the torture. It may here be noted with what pains the jurisprudents of the Holy Office applied themselves 10 de- termine equitably nice points which arose from time to time in their prac- tice, Take, for example, the question, If the judge in the tribunal of exam ination, not in the torture chamber should say to the accused, Confess, or will give you the strappado,' and the accused accordingly confesses, should such a confession be regarded as ex- torted by fear of the strappado?" "No," answers Father Masini, flor 1t IS a light menace, and seems rather bit or bragging by the judge than anything else always provided that the judge IS not person of terrible aspect, and ac- customed to say such things and to do them for in that case the confession should be regarded as obtained by fear of torments. From the Nineteenth Century.
