somewhat Origin al and rather inconsist-
eut, but what he believed he stuck to,
and be wanted to do the square as
nearly as one may do it on nothing a
year. AS for Becky, the one admirable
quality about her. now and always, is
her grit. Mrs Fiske believes that
Beckyis pluck, coupled with her clever
ness, was enough to make her more
dear to Thackeray than were any other
Of bis women. and it is upon these quail
tiles that the actress bases Becky's
claim to public interest. Even in that
splendid dramatic moment when she is
discovered at supper with the Marquis
Of Steyne. her nerve does not fail her
and she lies to the last, lies even when
the marquis bank notes are in her hus-
bands hands. Great as Mrs. Fiske was
in that scene, l think Barrymore was
greater. Her magnificent acting recalled
that phrase OF Stevenson's. that il that
blow from Rawdon Crawley's fist had
not descended upon the marquis head
Vanity Fair" would cease to be work
Of art. For dramatic purposes Mr..
Mitchell has added few flourishes to
Becky which / think little inconsist-
ent. Take, for instance, that soliloquy
by the fire, in which Becky says: IL am
SO tired OF it all-my God, the very
muscles Of my face are tired with smil-
ing to the people hate" That ia not
Thackeray's Becky. She liked the
game for it's own sake, regardless of the
stake. Next to winning, she liked los
ing.
The last act ia in Becky's lodgings in
Pumpernickle, where she lives with the
old hope of getting back into respect
ability, wearing soiled evening gowns
and drinking beer with noisy German
students. The atmosphere is meant to
be cheap and sordid. but found it no
less attractive than the rest OF the play.
Vdnitds ranitdtum Is all very well in
book, and one can stand the meanness
and petty vices of humanity in type.
but in actual flesh aud blood, clothed in
selfishness as with garment, Haunting
their miserable ambitions as they Haunt
their jewels, these people are hateful
beyond the limits Of ones patience.
Some way these envious. scheming,
snobbisb, stupid English folk seemed
very much more detestable than the
suave, worldly people 10 the French
dramas. After all, they are only conven-
tional Don Juans and their wickedness
is Only stage wickedness. But these
Thackeray folk are too much like the
cad caricatures of humanity that we
know every day. not the rare victims Of
grand passions. but the countless slaves
OF petty AID sordid ones, the people who
love money better than blood, who wait
for dead mems shoes, blackmail their
neighbors or leer at their neighbours
wives. Becky Sharp" will not be
popular piece. Not even the genius OF
Mrs. Fiske, nor the admirable efforts OF
her company can secure for the play
long run. Ten righteous men would
have saved SodOm, one would save
Becky Sharp" but there is only poor,
stupid RawdoD, much more siune1
against than SHINING. There is not
enough beauty iu the play to save il.
II our fellows are like these people, We at
least will not admit it. We will wear
dominos and masks and play that there
are gentlemen and gentlewomen behind
them. The soul refuses to be stripped
