MlANsgggap,s Success : GyAN THE aRRZggzE


New York, March 1.-The episode OF
the theatrical week IS the addition by
Richard Mansfield Of a historical por-
trait to his dramatic gallery. The per-
sonage Is that car OF Russia who, 10
distinguish him beyond all OF that cOun-
try's other tyrants, was called Ivan
the Terrible. The depletion is 50 gra-
phic as to be ineffaceable in the mem
cries of those who see II. Mansfield's
successes have not included any char
acter in which great actors have pre-
coded him. He has never done remark
ably well with q Shakespearean role.
His ShylOck Brutus and Richard are
hardly tolerable. He is no copyist. and
his departures from the standards are
not highly regarded. But IN creative
work he has never had a failure. His
best fame rests on the aged sensualiSt
in ~ Partisan Romance" the abnor-
NAL ruffian in 'Dr. Jekyn and Mr..
Hyde" His new character is as Sc
nile as Baron Chevrial, cruel as Mr..
Hyde and possesses, besides, all the
craft and Hypocrisy of Louis XXI, whose
type Of tyranny il much resembles
Mansfield is whimsical by nature and
by practice, and you can never tell
whether he is doing an eccentric thing
by impulse or by calculation. Genius
prospers through exploitation. But
there Is no reason TO doubt that he dis
likes the roles in which people like him
best, that he produces Ivan the Ter
Tible' against his own inclination. He
had the costly mounting ready last
autumn, but put II aside to take up
the more congenial king in "Old Heidel-
berg" Yet he plays Ivan with all pos
sible care and with great artistic
merit.

This one man is all there is in the
play, except the single enemy who plots
his downfall under cover of pretended
loyalty. You can understand how good
and strong the work of TolstOi and
Mansfield must be when tell you that,
with all the interest centred ia the tot
tering old wretch, and with no seemly
or slightly affairs concerning younger
persons, the play holds it's audience fast
and hard. The eliminating tragedy is
CHASTITY. COnspirators have hired some
magic!ans TO assure Ivan that he viii
die on the next st. Cyril's day. He is
sufficiently superstitious to half be-
lieve the prophecy Yet he obdurately
declares that he will live. SO we have
him. on the fateful anniversary,
staggering wreck physically. but stall
wart mentally. Then comes the revela-
tion 10 him that his one trusted ad-
wiser is his deadly enemy. A whirl of
wrath makes him fulfill the prediction,
He falls dead in the midst OF his false
friends and avowed enemies.
