standing of his attitude toward 1t was
only q single illustration out Of hun
1red other things that made the whole
social career unbearable to him. The
fact that this particular play was dis
tinguished by the acting Of the most
brilliant actor Of the age did not re-
lieve the play itself Of the condemna-
tion that rested upon 1t for being too
impure and suggestive for any self re-
spectlng man or woman to behold its
movement on the stage. Yet the wealth
and fashion and culture of the city ap-
plauded the acting and praised the ac'
tor. The press contained columns of
commentator for the scenery, the cos,
tunes, the spirited presentation from
an artistic and dramatic point Of view
and q mild sentence or two Of rebuke
for the character Of the play itself.
What more could one ask by way Of
allurement to go and see and hear
something which was little doubtful
in its moral setting, but splendid in Its
