Many days have passed since Washing

the last enactment of f"Virginius" was
SO far back that persons intimately con-
nected with the stage hesitate to fix the
exact date, and so the appearance Of
that actor in the grand old role at the
Columbia Theater last night may mark
two parallel cpochs, one Signalling the
revival in the popular taste for the al
most forgotten classic style of play and
the other marking the rise Of a splendid
actor to his greatest height. the perform
ance leaving no doubt in the mind that
he is fit TO rank as peer with the long
list Of famous actors who have enacted
the historic role.
Although almost universally regarded
as a purely romantic actor. Mr O'Nein
has all OF the qualities which go to make
UP the great tragedian. A noble and
commanding presence, magnificent
voice, with perfect enunciation; q classic
pose, and that certain indispensable air
Of reverence, are all present, and we
know of no one better fitted to take up
the long discarded mantle of John Nc
CuHough than he is. List night he car
ried his audience along through all the
tempestuous MOODS of the noble Roman
with the greatest facility, and seemed 10
have every resource Of the character,
whether normal, humorous, or emotional,
at his command
The support OF Mr. O'Nein shows the
weaknesses always apparent in these re-
vivals Of old successes. Perhaps II comes
from the overshadowing effect of the star
or the preponderanee Of the leading char
acter. Miss May Ciemment is attractive
as Virginia, exemplfying all the purity
and simplicity of the role and Mr.. Nor
man Hackett is effective as Icilius, pay
ing with grsat spirit. and Mr.. Joseph
Slaytor IS successful In the blunt and
somewhat sard0nic role of Dentatus, the

therefore willing to pay heed TO the SEN
sational newspapers. The japanese peo-
pie are q peaceable people and want no
trouble. There is now some sentimental
excitement against the japanese, but II
is only temporary; IL will gradually die
out and will be settled without difficulty.
In time even the labor element in Amer
lea will get over its apprehension and viii
admit that the japanese are not a dan
gerous element. In the meantime the
yellow journals are responsible for keep
ing alive the agitation.
But with all his peaceful talk, Count
Okuma holds that a japanese man is the
equal OF any man, and that the dignity
of the nation requires that he be so treat
ed. If any one dares TO question him. he
will turn to that old document which set
his soul on fire fifty years ago and quote:
I'VE hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent, that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights; that
among these are life. liberty. and the pur-
suit OF happiness.
