THE THEATER.
New National Theater.

The contemplation of so beautiful a Sc
ries Of pictures as is revealed by the pro-
duction Of the Prince of India at the New
National Theater this week cannot fail to
give pleasure. Paint, canvas and human
ity are dispersed In lavish artistry to pro-
duce tableaux whose perfection of detail is
scarcely less remarkable than their mag
nfcence Of concept. Each succeeding
scene is new revelation of beauty, and
the eliminating incident a battle picture,
is worked out with stupendous effect. The
realism could not be greater had the stage
been a canvas over which a painter had
stood for patient years with brush and pal
cite. Animated by sound and motion, 1t
becomes indeed mighty spectacle.
From the prologue, which reveals Con-
stantinople and the Golden Horn, to the
closing act. which has to do With the fan
of the Byzantine battlements. splendid per-
spectives and massive colonnades are butt
before the eye the narrative unto .ds. A
panorama of the Bosphorus, and a Won
derful representation of a storm at sea,
together with glimpses of the mosques and
palaces whose architectural glories the de-
signers have reproduced with faithful skill.
combine to make the presentation a scenic
masterpiece.
The Prince of India should have pro-
nounced inter st for Students of ecclesiasti
cal history. 1t tells the story of great

than with sectarian thought, and with pro-
found principles. rather than with men.
The players. for the most part notably
efficient, who compose the cast are suhordi-
mated. not only by the grandeur of the
stage equipment but by the theme. 1t is
not "a story which can be, effectively con-
veyed by appeal to the eye alone, and
there are times when the action is hindered
rather than assisted by the prodgality Of
display.
Every phase of the production shows the
result of long and careful study of historic
detail. Even the incidental music, abso-
lutely deficient as it is in melodious appeal,
comes from so scholarly a source that it
must be credited with authentic interest.
The principal characters are assumed by
William Farnum as the Prince Mahommed,
julius McN icHer as the EEnir Mira. En-
NETT Corrigan as the Wanderer and Ade-
aide Keim as the Princess Irene. Mr..
Farnum contributes a resonant voice and
stalwsrt legitimate method to his i1terpre
tation. and Miss Keim realizes to a notable
degree the ideal of personal beauty which
the dialogue describes.
1t is rarely that much effort and re-
search are concentrated in a single pro-
duction. If remarkable for nothing else,
Tine Prince of India would be memorable
as an example of the enormous resource
fulness of modern stage craft.
