Coleridge Taylor has composed a prelude and
three entr'actes. with syIph ballet and wi1I-o'
the-wisp dance, and many interudes, choruses,
organ fugues and incidental passages, The
gifted West African musician has not ventured
to offer a direct challenge to Gounod in the

strains for angelic choruses. fa-tlstic motives
for witches lamentations and apes dances, a
finely colored rhapsody for the Brocken scene
and other effective scores Mr.. Stephen Phillips
and Mr.. Comyns Carr have been associated in
the construction of the play and the wiling of
the blank verse and lyrics, and Mr. Tree could
hardly have commissioned more experienced
craftsmen. Students who know GOethes
Faust" by heart or have seen the German YER
sions at the Berlin theatres would have pre-
ferred Bayard Taylor's translation; but that
would have allowed Mr.. Tree full scope fos
scenic illustration. Mr.. Phillips does not reach
his own level in blank verse. for either "Paolo
and Francesca" or "Herod' is superior to
Faust; yet he has produced better text than
the one employed by Sir Henry Irving. and Mr..
Carrs scholarship and experience a dramattst
have been most serviceable. The adapters have
improvised a prologue with an undertOne from
Milton and they have reverted to Marlowes
"Dr. Faustus' in the construction of a few
scenes but in the main they have followed the
book for GCUnOd's opera. The final scene, with
its forecast Of the redemption of Faust by a
womans love, is an epitome of Goethes second
part and is abrupt and artificial. It covers the
magnificent tableau upon which the curtain
falls. It meets the requirements of stage man
agement and final flare of limelight.
The acting is less impressive than the stage
pictures. It lacks subtlety, and that is indis-
pensable to a play with a supernatural en-
vironment. Ingenious bypIay is not ade-
quate substitute for it. Mr.. Tree, whether en-
