The "GIdipus Rex is declared to be the perfec-

pends on the eru5ite editor. All the erudite edi-
tors however, are agreed as to the colossal powers
OF Eurtptdes, Sophocles and .49schylus and as 10
the prodigious value OF their tragedies So be it.

THE DRAMA.
MR.. WILLARD as LUCKY DURHAM.
Knickerbocker Theatre.

Mr.. Willard warmly welcomed by an eager, SYM
pathetic, and responsive audience, made his re-
entrance last night at the Knickerbocker Theatre.
and acted the principal part in the late wilson
Barrett's drama of Lucky Durham" The char-
acter is a middle-class Monte Crtsto-an image or
implacable retributive purpose. Durham is young
Englishnan, possessed OF great wealth. which ne
has obtained in America. He appears in Lonooh
society, accompanied by his mother an eAceASAl'
woman. whom he devotedly loves. His purpose
is TO accomplish the ruin of his cruel and shoaora
bic father. English nobleman. Lord ModnttalIon
and thus to avenge the injuries of seduction ana
abandonment which that peer IS understood 10 nave
inflicted upon his mother. in early life; and this
purpose he very nearly accompIshes.
LORD Mountfallon and his wife are persons OF
high social repute; they have daughter. and her
mother is wishful that Durham should marry her
Durham S ennlty is not perceived by them, ana
OurhaIns intention and scheme ruin and disgrace
Mountfalion are known only to himself The per-
sonality of this domestic avenger is inscrutable
Beneath a calm and cold exterior he conceais
herce' immitigable wrath and the iron resolution
TO achieve a comprehensive and deadly vengeance
Inc action of the dTama,-a didactic fabric. con-
siderably overcharged with morality and verbage,
discoses the progress OF his design, which, at the
last is defeated by the interposon of'the injured
person, Durham's mother, who is willing TO for
give. and who instructs her that charity Is
nobler than revenge
This play possesses TO ethical value whatever
for. while pretending 10 teach much. it actually
teaches nothing Its precept is platitude and Its
morality truism. Its very slight values are char
acter, incident, and situation. Mr.. Willard, whose
splendid ability far transcends the calibre and re-
quirement of Durham, easily impersoaates this
auriferous, specous, plausible furtively dread
but openly bland avenger of female virtue. and he
is at once Interesting and effective as the type OF
flial fidelity and the determined Nemesis OF
domestic life His simple style contributes to illus
trate absolute beauty the art of dramatic express

piece Mr. Willard achieves nothing that he has not
