Play.
THE ACTORS OF THE LEADING PARTS
Joseph Mayr played the Christ for the last
time in 1890. He had taken the part twice be-
fore, in 1870 and in 1880. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to say that any one who was old enough
for this part in 1870 must have been too old for
it in 1890, but Mayr played the part so ex-
quisitely. and any effort to replace him ade-
qUatey would be so hopeless that it was given
to him for the last time. in spite of his age

These articles were very convenient in

that the present-day woman does not
