GOodwin's Shortcomings.

VIII Mr.. Goodwin ever appear to such
advantage IN a new play as nc does IN
lie roles Of jim Redburn in In Mlz-
zCura." Chauncey Short, in "A Gnded
Fool" and Beresford Cruger in "An
American Citizen?" doubt 1t seriously.
1fr. Goodwin enacts these roles with all
his original humor and art. but there
j an Unmistakable air of sameness
about his interpretations that makes
us remember always that il is
Goodwin. In repartee and droll by
play Mr.. Goodwin's art is delightful
but when he endeavors to bccume senti-
mental he invariably burlesQues the
tender passion, making his serious
situations ridiculous rather than anus
ing or convincing. This TACT was par
tieularly noticeable in An American
Citizen" IN the last act Of this play
there is opportunity for the portrayal
OF genuine, manly emotion. II is the
mission Of the comedian primarily to
amuse, but II is also comedians privi-
lcge to make one feel as well as to
laugh. 1t is the actor whose art can
tirge enjoyment with pathos whose APP
zeal is most effective and lasting Mr..
Goodwin on rare occasions demonstrates
that he has this ability. but how
often does he throw away such
opportunities with spendthrift prodi-
gality! Why should we have hair
lin antics and facial contentious in
stead of true emotion In the last
moment Of IAN American Citizen p
IS IL due to the fact that we have
ceased TO look for the subtle touches in
his art, but are always prepared for
the broadly comical, that Mr. Goodwin
has failed to earn the success in his
latter-day productions which attended
the earlier period Of his career?

A Failure and a Success.

The verdicts of washington and Of
New York have again been the same.
both in the case Of Tom JONES' the
delightful eighteenth century comic
opera heard at the Columbia recently,
and of The Christian Pilgrim produced
at the National by Miss Henrietta Cros-
man. The former is proving a genuine
success on Broadway. while telegTaphic
information last night brought the news
that Miss crosman's play viii be placed
in the stoTehOuse at the end OF another
week
Most OF those who saw "Tae Christian
Pilgrim" In Washington felt that, de-
spite It's magnificent stage settings and
the conscientious work of Miss CrOs-
man. it could not succeed. Lacking both
dramatic force and human appeal, It
could not hope TO win its way on the
merits OF beautiful stage pictures and
incidental music Of WagneTian strain.
Genuine sympathy is 10 be- felt for
Miss Crosman, however for the play
has been her most cherished dream for
years. This has unquestionably caused
her the bitterest disappointment as well
been a great monetary loss for her
management. For this reason the jocu-
larity of some of the New York critics
ia referring TO the play az "Bunyan
prosecuted again. and another tri-
Umph for the transfer company" seems
T. be more or less heartless. The pro-
duction both as a drama and as an in
tellectual entertainment must be con-
demned, In all fairness to the public,
bat at the same time Il must be recog-
nized that Miss Crosman has striven
pcbly with a hopeless burden. ana her
managers have spent a fortune in pro-
v;dlng a scenic investiture that was
faultless in its taste and superb IN its
Tuaeuifcence

BRANFORD.

The local campaign is now well under way; both parties have decided on the dates of their respective caucuses for the nomination of town officers and while it is yet too early to prophecy with any degree of certainty as to the outcome, either in the primaries or at the polls, all indications point to a rousing red hot political melee. The republican caucus has been called for Saturday evening of this week and the democrats will hold their caucus on the Monday evening following. It is thought that pastors will be freely used and that an old time political battle royal will be waged in Branford this year.
