NOTES OF THE Stage.
Il Performance for the actors
Church alliance.

1.-The Kings Highway" by William GIN, was pro-
duced at the New-York Theatre Yesterday after
noon for the first time on any stage, under the
direct auspices OF the Actors Church Alliance.
Bishop Potter, however. the president of that
ganizaton, not a witness of the performance
1t said he purchased a box. but was forced to
be out of town In truth. The Kings Highway IS
not interesting B1eeCker-st.. and he need not
feel Enthusiastically, at leaSt-he has been a loser
The play Is supposed to treat in a fashion which
could not bring the blush of shame to clergynan'S
cheek episodes of the American Revolution. But IL
is not likely to have much part IN any theatrical
revolution for 1t is crude dull and tedious. Harry
leighton played the leading part, and Mrs Newton
Bennington reappeared on the stage after many
wears TO support him. The audience was large
enough to bring in 300 to the alliance.

At another club uptown, the Century. paint
Ing has been or view for a few days which we
wish might have been put before a wider au-
dience before its departure from the city. It is
2 Madonna, by Mr.. John La Fargo, executed on
g considera bic scale for the Bishops chapel in
Portland. Ne. The composition has that simple
satsliness which has always been characteristic
Of this artist. above all, when he has illustrated
religious theme. It is without the accessories
which since the last word on this subject was
spoken by the masters OF the italian Renais-
sance have more often than not betrayed paint
ers Of the Madonna into effects Of an artificial
and distracting nature Mr.. La Farge's way Of
dealing with q subject Of this sort is to express
its essence In noble form and gesture. and in
those subtleties about the physiognomy which
mean not only technique but feeling. The Ma
donna in this canvas is not enthroned. She
stands leaning over the Holy Child in an atti-
tude Of protection. and the two figures which
have 50 often been conceived as awaiting hon.
age, in repose seem here rather to face the
world in more active mood Of sympathy, as
though they would go out to mankind the
eager bearers Of the secret Of its salvation IT
is at the feet of the church militant that this
presentment of the Mother and divine Son is
laid. The color is rich and massive. The whole
effect Of the work is monumental and imposing.
Mr. La Fargo looks at life with a large sweep.
and the gravity Of his thought is disclosed in
hs line which flows with peculiar dignity
across the canvas. AS a work of Imagination
and as a techni al achievement. this Madonna
takes high rank among the productions of his
maturity.
