Coming Events.

In when knigntnood Was In Flower"
Miss Rosello Knott has found worthy
opportunity for a display of her talent and
cleVerness. Her Interpretation OF her role
is more than satisfying; deft touches here
and there have made it her own creation
and not an imitation. AS Mary Tudor
Miss Knott presents a character which
never allows the interest in il and the play
to abate, a lovable character, marked as
it is by the opposiuons of hot tempera-
ment which will bestow the hand only
where the heart has gone. One feels her
quick, passionate movements are the result
instinct with natural impulse. But dignity,
the dignity of a kings sister, is always
ready when need arises to bring it into the
play. Miss knotts support is "a fact which
can seldom be stated with TRUTH well in
keeping with her worth, even to the small
est part in the cast. Mr.. Hastings makes
a most dashing and handsome Brandon, and
is an actor who combines unusual ability
with the natural graces of a gentleman
Mr.. Stevens sustains the role of choleric
majesty, King Henry the Eighth of Eng
land, with great intelligence The play is
staged and costumed with all the elegance
that marked the first production, so that
the desirable physical quality of richness
is provided in the prudence of Messrs. Kane.
Shipman and Colvin, under whose auspices
Miss Knott and her magnificent Criterion
Theater company are appearing. Miss
Knots engagements of three nights at the
Boyd theater begins this evening. She will
be seen at special matinee on Christmas
afternoon.

Christmas Eve.

Oh, hush thee, little Dear-My-Soul,
The evening shades are falling
Hush thee, my dear, dost thou not hear
The voice of the Master calling?
Deep lies the snow upon the earth,
But all the sky is ringing
With joyous song. and all night long
The stars shall dance, with singing.
Oh, hush thee, little Dear-My-SouI
And close thine eyes in dreaming,
And angels fair shall lead thee where
The singing stars are beaming.
A Shepherd calls His little lambs,
And He longeth to caress them;
He bids them rest upon His breast,
That His tender love may bless them.
SO hush thee, little Dear-My-Soul,
Whilst evening shades are falling,
And above the song of the heavenly throng
Thou shalt hear the Master calling.

Plays in which religion figures in one way
or another are many and as varied in type
as in authorship. THE Christian" is one
in which both hero and heroine make the
mistake OF undertaking to apply abstract
principles to practical uses. John Storm
goes to London, full of zeal for what he
conceives to be correct application of the
doctrine of Jesus Christ. He finds that his
efforts are thwarted by the conventions
that have grown up around the teachings
of those who have gone before him, and
that the wealthy congregations will havo
none Of his views, and that the poor among
whom he undertakes to establish himself
have other things to occupy their atten-
ton and are inclined to look upon his offer
OF salvation as a poor substitute for some
thing to satisfy their more immediate and
material wants Glory Quayle finds that the
freedom she enjoyed in the Isle of Man is
not TO be had in London, and that certain
conventions hedge her roundabout with re-
straints, and when she undertakes to break
through them she proves again the shallow
ness of good and the depth of meanness
that makes up existence In the metropolis.
The atmosphere of religion In the play is
decidedly tenuous and exists rather as
haze than true medium.

The Christmas week bill at the Burwood
is peculiarly appropriate THE Christian"
having been selected by the director, ].
Sedley Brown, as being best designed for
the season. In this play Hall C2ine has
sounded a loud note of protest a'td with
his customary vehemence. When the novel
was first put out, some seven years ago,
it made a great sensation, and the play
which followed was no less of a sensation.
Mr.. Game himself dramatized the novel.
and naturally preserved its full strength
and atmosphere. He is master of the
climax, and in none of his works does he
sustain the interest at a higher tension
than in THE Christian" The story of
John Storm and Glory Quayle and their
struggles with the world. the flesh and the
devil is most absorbing, and the faithful
verisimilitude with which 1t is worked out
is astonishing in its truthfulness. The
setting of the play admits of liberal treat
ment and Mr.. Brown has taken full ad-
vantage of this fact. The great mob scene
at Storms mission church in the slums of
London is one of the celebrated mob scenes
of the drama, and is really thrilling stu-
alton. Other sets are equally effective,
Mr.. Morrison will be John Storm, Mr.
Owen will be Lord Robert IRE, Mr.. Todd
has the fine character of Drake, Mr.. Full
ton will be Archdeacon Wealthy and Mr..
Simpson will be Brother Paul. In Glory
Quayle Miss Lang will have the best part
she has yet undertaken at the Burwood,
and much is expected from her in this role.
Miss Ward, Miss Davis and Miss Hill are
well located in the cast, and the others of
the company have been called upon. for
the play requires them all. The first per-
Torrance will be given this afternoon. A
special matinee will be played on Christmas

Planquette has given to the stage and

a special matinee Christmas afternoon.
Miss Rose Cecilia Shay. who has for a
number OF years headed her own organza-
ton In grand opera and has made for her
self a reputation second TO none, has been
induced to play the title role in this opera.
Miss Shay, like Miss Huntington, is the
one prima donna of the time who is in
every way exactly suited for the very par
ticular part of Paul Jones. She has the
ability as an actress and the right build,
but above all the voice which enables her
to sing the very difficult scores. The sup
porting company, the scenery and the cos
tunes were procured with the idea of hav-
ing this the finest comic opera production
on the road today and there is no doubt
but that it has succeeded.

fact that Hsyse bows, as all others have,
to the unexpressed prohibition against deal
ing with the sacred theme on a secular
basis.
These plays are the best we have that
deal with the immediate time of the Saw
tours presence on earth. Others have been
written. but none that are now called to
mind have in them anything Of merit or a
claim on serious consideration. They are
for the main crudely conceived and care
lessly put together, designed merely to ar
rest attention of the needless by cheap
melodramatic exhibitions, and have as a
rule soon returned to the obscurity from
which they slightly emerged. Some really
strong plays have been built having for
their central theme the effect of Christs
teachings. OF these the best known and
most successful have been QUO vadls"
and 1.-THE Sign Of the Cross" The elemental
structures of these plays is so nearly alike
that 1t is almost possible to lodge a charge
of cribbing against one or the other and
yet the treatment in detail DIVORCES suf-
ficiently to defend the author OF either
against such an allegation from the other.
Sienkiewicz gives in some regards a more
realistic picture of the life of the Christians
In Rome under the empire than does Bar
rett, but the action Of the Barrett play is
probably the smoother for the reason that
1t was put together by a master Of dramatic
construction. The tragic ending. too, is
more in keeping with the verities, and for
that reason the more satisfactory. Neither
Of them rises to the dramatic height at
tanned by Heyse and were 1t not for the
inevitable love tale that runs through both
the passion of a Pagan patrician for a
Christian maiden. 1t is scarcely probable
that either would have received the hear
ing II did. In the Barrett play the develop
ment Of this factor is seized upon as the
central incident and is worked out most
skilfully and effectively. In the Sienkiewicz
drama the love story is brought to the
front, but alongside 1t are other incidents
that at times seem to overshadow 1t, so
that II does not get as full measure of
Importance as Barrett gives IT, and yet
both agree in making the merely religious
aspect of the dramatic action incident
rather than a feature. In both plays had
the heroine been a worshiper of the Roman
gods instead of the Jewish God, the episodes
on which the tales are based would have
been impossible.
