the Shakespearean plays. A small CON-
pany OF townspeople accepted the invita- :.
ton to be present The selections chosen
ware the opening scene from Julius
Csasar" and the great lines OF the ora
tons Of Brutus to the Senate and Mark
Antony to to the populaee. He followed
these with Hsmlet's soiiloquy on the play
srs and on death. and with the dagger
scene from -Maebsth.'' And to vary the
program he closed with familiar sslee-
ton from Riley and q strenuous poem
from an unidentified author. entitled
"Whsn Casey SlugRed the Ball." Mr..
Fox, an able pianist who accompanies
Mr.. Dodge also pleased the audience
greatly with several instrumental selsc-
tons. The performance was real liter

served as a prelude to the fine presenta-

MATTERS THEATRICAL
Two Good Productions at the Grand
the Past Week.

Like the plays Of Shakespeare the sub
lime poem play "Faust" appears possess
ed Of everlasting life and will still attract
after the long line of so-called "pro-
blem" plays have been forgotten.
Faust" the old favorIte, has been re-
viyed again-perhaps because of the
furore lately created by The Devil" !"
with its modernized characterization OF
His SATANIC Majesty-and it was pre-
sented to an appreeiative audience in the
Grand last Friday night In the stellar
roles were Miss Rosabel Morrison as
Marguerite" Edward N. Hoyt as "Me-
phsto." Carlisle Shelley as Faust" and
Miss Fanny Hoyt as Dame Martha"
The first named is daughter Of Lewis
Morrison. who for quarter of century
made famous the part Of "Mephisto."
She proved herself pleasing descendant
of her famous father. whose worthy
successor in Hoyt is said by many to
more than fill his shoes. The Faust"
choir was especially pleasing and the en-
tire company was strong and well bal
anced.
Several new features have been added
which makes the play interesting to those
who have seen it before. and the eleesri-
cal effects are splendid.
Noteworthy settings are the elaborate
Broekan scene and the beautiful Apotheo-
sis at the close ofthe play.
Perhaps it was the chilly winds that
deferred many from attending the pre-
sentation Of the great Shakespearean
play. The Merchant Of Venice. on Tues
day night. and perhaps the cold had its
effec. upon those who did attend. for we
have seldom seen smaller or less de-
monstrative audience than that which
greeted the Sanford Dodge Co. The ap-
plause was pitifully seant, but the blame
can not wholly be laid To atmospheric
conditions as the players were wofully
weak.
Than Sanford Dodge himself there is
no greater 'Shyloek" upon the American
stage. and about two members OF his
company are worthy to travel in his
class. but they could not leaven such
bunch Of mediocre actors and actresses
who performed aoou; as naturally as so
many mannikens.
The most satisfactory part Of the per-
formanee was between the aets-when
Aylor's orchestra diseoursed as pleasing
music as has been heard in the opera
house this season.

have beet land to sell or to rent, and
