The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-02-09

Humphrey Is a most excellent presenta-
ton. In physique. voice and energy he is
Wen adapted to carry the part. He never
rants; he impresses his evident mon
arch1al power and prestige by more ar
tistic methods. At all times his lines,
perforce, betray his greed and innate
selhshness, but In the melting moods, the
interludes of tenderness with Josephine.
ne exhibits an artistic poise that Is
highly creditable. When an entire large
cast is SO uniformly good it appears in
vidious to Gull one supporting character
from another. If Julia Arthur Is a rare
histrionic genius she surely is amply and
thoroughly sustained by the excellent
company with which she has surrounded
herself. Especially Is this true of Laur-
ence Hanley, as Lucien Bonaparte; Of
Frederick Hartley, as Junot; of Albert
Brown, as Roustan; Of William Harris,
as Talleyrand; of Florence Conron, as
Mile Avrillon; of Agnes Fletcher, as
Nine. de Rochefoucauld
Louise Maynard, Bessie Humphrey and
Louise Orendorf won appreciation in
rather ungrateful roles-ungrateful only
in-the fact that their lines antagonized
the worlds favorite5 feminine character,
Josephine, the divorced.
More magnificent scenery and stage set
ting have never been brought to st. Paul.

In French history. No detail is overlook
ed The monograms on the swords of
Napoleon, worn at different epochs In his
meteoric career, are changed-even the
letters on the buttons of his coats. With
every act Miss Arthur flashes radiantly
upon the audience in new gown. And
the feminine taste of the fashionable
auditors was pleasurably satisfied.

r. GRAND.
Through the Breakers" seems to
please theater-goersl at the Grand opera
| house the current week
| To what romantic mysticism that weird
writer, Marie 3Core1li, will next devote
her wonderful pen it would be difficult
| to imagine. but, whatever the subject, it
is certain to create sensation. In "The
Sorrows of Satan" she has completely
overturned all former ideas as to the
| character Of the monarch of Hades. 1t
is not to be wondered at that this re-
| markable book has been turned to theat-
rical purposes. ''The Sorrows of Satan"
/ will be seen at the Grand next week.
