AUSTRALIAN CRITICISM.
From The Sydney Bulletin.

From The Sydney Bulletin.
The ancient restfulness OF 1.-THE Sign of the Cross
comes back to Sydney like pleasant dream Ju-
nus knight 4 Co. are an oasis after the rather
robust and meaty Roman Of Wilson Barrett; also
julius X. wears the brief white towel of the old
L1tn over 4 more graceful pair of legs than the
other Roman. and the towel itself isn't quite
disgracefully abbreviated. The old story OF the
Cross may not be logical: but. anyhow. 1t Is
pretty in sentiment and gorgeous in coorng. and
very agreeable to look upon. The long snowy gar
ment of Mercia never gets sofd even in prison
and the early Fathers and Daughters Of the
Church don't seem 10 hurry as people do now
because II they did they would assuredly trip over
the tail Of the tOga and fall into the Tiber
The miracle by which Merca Is saved from the
ancctionate pagan who Is pursuing her round a
small room with a view to matrimony is still in
good working order, and The Bulletin" has
vague idea that more rich red perspective has been
that the jewelled Caesar has fits under a more
gaudy dome than formerly. But perhaps this is
mere unfounded impression The only thing that
Is still wanted TO complete the realism of the
drama is view OF the coarse red beast with the
powerful voice which ultimately eats up Mercia.
and II ii could be arranged for that animal to stalk
across the arena. making dust with his tail the
effect would be perfect. But otherwise there is
nothing to complain Of Right down to the cracking
OF the rack on which the very small Christian Is
being diSocated In the next room, all the effects
are carefully studied.
One thing which this paper would like to know
however. is whether the gorgeous Marcus isn't

long out of some heavy wire. He filed point
on the wire and hammered up head Then one
dark night during A storm. he trotted up TO the
millionaire's place and drove the nail in the tree
near the ground carefully hiding the head with
a p.cce Of bark fastened on top Of it with small
tack In about a week the leaves Of the tree be-
