London Times" Rises in Revolt
Against Tears and PaToxysms.

Against Tears and PaToxysms.
COMPARING the Sapho of Nine. Jane
Hading with that of Olga Nethersole,
the London News says:
Nine Hading IS a more thoughtful.
a more scheming a more intellectual
Sapho. She always conveys the impress
sion of a thinking rather than an i'm
pulsive being. with much of the tragedy
of thought, and this is the note of ner
sapho. an retrospective and a lonely
woman. NJ Arnaud gives an admirable
performance as Jean Gaussin, and NJ.
Mondos is also excellent, NJ. Duquesne
is coed in the always effective part of
Dechelette."
The Times" sRys of Nine. Hading's
performance:
She certainly has one excuse which
her rivals have not; it was she and
none other who created the heroine; II
is she and none other who presents the
genuine Fanny Legrand-evitez les con-
trefaconsl Other actresses may be vul-
gar and audacious and repulsive in the
part. but II you want the proper measure
of vulgarity and audacity and repulsive-
ness you must see Nine. Hading- Her
paroxysms OF hystero-e epilepsy at the end
of Act " are the only authentic
paroxysms. For all that. We cannot
bring ourselves 10 like this spec
tacle Of an accomplished lady condo
scending to play the she animal. writh-
ing and gasping and shrieking. BY and
by. it seems. we are to have Nine. Sarah
bernhardt in the same exhibition. 1t is
not an alluring prospect. 'Sapho' threatens
TO become a public nuisance The com
pany which Nine. Hading has brought
with her on this occasion is OF the kind
conventionally known as respectable,
and its only feature worth mentioning
in saphO, apart from the performance Of
the heroine, is the Dechelette OF NJ.
Duquesne."

Nature Unmitigated Ranks Two Critics
in Opposition.
The London Stage Society ended its
season the other ewing with three little
plays. The Golden Rose" by Ian
Robertson: The Waters Of Bitterness.
By S. NJ. Fox. and The Admirable Bash
ville," by Bernard Shaw Of which the
first was an allegory. neither true nor
pleasant, and the third was satirical
burlesque.
Mr.. Fox's piece seems to have had
more substance. II deals with the love
OF an elderly maiden for a sickly youth
and one critic says OF it: The story
itself is nothing. The treatment is
everything And the resolute way in
which Mr.. Fox showed US his heroine in
ali her aspects. her egoism. her self
pity, her weaknesses, without attempt
ms to minimize them in representation
was beyond praise. When I add that
lille he made US laugh freely at her
absurdities yet brought US near to
tears by her tragic end. 1t will be seen
that he accomplished something really
noteworthy in drama
Another observer found the lady q
bore. But hes probably, was not in the
right mood for contemplation Of the
advanced drama

lin After All.

Paul Heyse's Maria Of Magdala" has
been presented at the Deutsche Volks-
theater in Vienna. in spite OF the en-
phatic protests Of members OF the cler-
gy Before It was performed at Brunn
the opposition was violent. and the
bishop wrote a special letter on the
subject TO a local paper. At Pressburg
the clergy were successful in their efforts
to prevent the production. and at Prague
IT was only read to a select audience.
The plot OF Heyse's play" says the
London Telegraph" is in no way OPP
posed 10 the spirit of tradition. The
idea that Caiaphas, Judas. and Maria
Magdalene served only as instruments
against Christ, and that Flavius. as the
price OF the rescue Of the Saviour, de-
manded the. possession OF Maria. Is
founded upon ancient ecclesiastical
dramas. The only character which
varies from the received form is that Of
Judas Iscariot. He is represented as a
tool Of the priests, who dreaded the
idea of their religion, even in a modi-
fed form. becoming the property Of the
world at large. The great opposition
this play has encountered is. OF course.

Christians to placing sacred persons and
things amid the trivialities and passions

In their music the popular songs of

melodies consist of cheap phrases,
founded upon the oldest and most
threadbare musical formulas. poor in

twenty out OF keeping with the senu

they answer the requirements of BerlioZ.
They do reach the emotions of persons
possessed of special and practiced or

in this one class of music. These per
sons have taught themselves to believe
tina; they are listening TO a direct and
natural embodiment of emotion. chiefly
because they have never cultivated the
taste necessary to the understanding 81
genuinely artistic expression. For
precisely similar reasons they prefer the
