FAUST.
Goethe's immortal "Faust'' will be
presented at the Paris Grand, Feb. IS,
with Porter J. White in his we'll
known role of Mephisto. German
literature abounds In eulogies, panto-
mines, tragedies and comedies on
Faust, Since the end of the seven
teenth century the Puppenspiel pup
pet Show of ''Dr. Faust'' has been
one of the most popular pieces in
Germany. 1t forms the transition
from the rude, magic tales concern
ing ''Faust'' to the later philosophic
conception of the Faust" myth,
which has become the most perfect
poetic expression of the eternal strife
between Good and Evil In the soul of
man.
