OF supposed passion without conviction
and without that sense Of humor which
underlies any profound outlook upon life.
Perhaps the most pathetic feature OF
the performance il the excellence Of the
actors doomed to take part in it. For all
the windy emptiness Of the lines he speaks
and the sentimental shallowness of the
part he plays Forbes Robertson really
succeeds in convincing one at times that
Gerald is in fact a Prime Minister and a
statesman. 1t is performance Of the
utmost dignity, sincerity and harmony.
Miss Kate Rorke. too, suffuses into the
sentimental veins of Lady Gdudmtnsfcr the
semblance of heart torn by great and
Hateful passion. But the proverh still
holds about silk purses and sows' ears.
If Mr.. Fsmond had chosen theme involv-
ing smaller and merely private emotions, he
might have reached his own former level.
But he has chosen to treat of great passion
in conflict with great career, and the
result is an unsecmly exposure Of the pow
erty Of his mind and heart.

His present play has only faint mira &c
of his former qualities. and the defects
have stepped forth into the centre of the
stage j. there any real and significant
truth underlying the conception of states
man who. having made himself Prime Min
ister, feels only in the supreme hour, that
because he has not wife and a large,
prosperous family his career is wasted?
II sounds very much like the incoming Of
n man who in real life would never have
got anywhere in particular. Is there any
precedent Of an English statesman who.
with the world Of glorious opportunity,
10 say nothing Of duty. before him, has
been ready to dump the apple cart into the
slough OF aduterous love? Only a great
and overrnastering passion Of love could
bring him to that sort OF thing. And il
he draws back on the brink of a fall his
safety can only be in a greater passion for
rectitude.
Now. the one thing Mr.. Esmond does
not suggest ia a great passion. Ciroum-
spection is the iehu that guides Gerald
Wd0oonor When he discovers that Lady
G1udminsfer, worn out by the malignant
humors OF her husband, returns his love.
his first thought is Of the proprieties. Make
love to a married woman he exclaims.
waving in her face the palms Of holy horror.
That phrase is the cant Of the astute man
ager who studies the preiudioes Of the pub
lie. and az Gerald utters it we hear the voice
of the playwright talking for Buncombe

people The tenderest conscience, the most
delicate sense Of propriety shall not be
shocked e 1t was all in the vein Of Bully
Bottom, who for fear Of frightening the
ladies' learned to roar as gently az a suck
ing dove. So, when Gerald and Lady
Gdvdrninstcr ran away they took with them
a double harrelled chaperonage. The ten

be Jared.
In the third act comes the call Of duty.
L,1dy Gdudminsier il Of the mind OF BaTkis.
but Gerald has reflected that a statesman is
a politician who sees the future through
field glass, and no Is modestly aware that
only he has the field glass. Il love youl-

of YOU. But lstenl Wasn't that the dinner

gong behind the scenes. and the cup Of his
passion has not been too deep to prevent
him from giving her a very sober arm and
leading her in TO the we'll chaperoned table.

proper But il IL not interesting. 1t "a
