We have not column of space II
spare for a proper comment On the
play of last evening. though the Oh
ject would be a worthy one. Oul
people have been surfeited with en-.
tertainments this week and therefor,
the house was not properly filled tc
greet this splendid Bible play. II
was a strenuous performance from
start to finish-one of those strong
plays which holds interest at high
tension throughout. The leading
parts were strenuous and the fire of
religious fervor was met with an
equal fire of fanatical bigotry well
carried to the tragic end. The Marias
Of Edgar Jones was of the sort to ex-
cite the admiration of those who
adore manly beauty and noble de.
meauor. 1t was strong part. played
without fault. The same might
almost be said of Salome, the wicked
and sinuous beauty-the incarnation
of love and devilishness we'll mixed.
Even the traitor Judas was most
commendable actor, with the part of
the most infamous william that ever
lived in history. As John the Baptist
and as his exact opposite none but an
actor of merit could present the both
true to the life.
But all the parts were commendable
especially so the little mother of
John; but space fails, and-'tis but
the passing show, though one deserv.
ing of the largest possible audiences
wherever it may entertain. The
church people should attend and take
their families No sermon or Bible
reading can equal such performance
one that sends all home with the
thought that they have seen some.
thing almost too good and sacred for
the common stage. -Washingtonian.
