The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-29

has also been pronounced as produced by
Irving the greatest achievement of mod
ern stagecraft. Tt presents brilliant stage
pictures, full of life and color, but not
at any moment is the trend of an en-
crossing STORY lost The period treated
Is that of the few weeks preceding Their
midor in 7I794. sWhen the action begins
MaXlmiltan Robespierre is seemingly in
the height of his power. Danton and the
Girondists have fallen and he alone rep
resents the spirit Of the Revolution and
is the idol of the multitude When the
play ends Robespierre has failed, and
with him the revolution, and practically
the republic. The character of Robes
pierre has defed the historian, but Sar-
dou's art has made an understandable
Robespierre, and Irving has made him
picturesque, fascinating and even poetic.
The play is full of pageantry. The seen
cry painted by Hawes Craven, Amable,
Of Paris; Joseph Harker and w Hartford
is said to be in keeping with the tradi-
ton of the London Lyceum. The Incl
dental music was composed by M.
Georges Jacob.
