FAUST" COMING.
Famous Drama to Be Given at the Gen.
trial on Wednesday Night, Oct. 6.

Famous Drama to Be Given at the Cen
trail on Wednesday Night, Oct. 6.
Goethe's famous drama, Faust, y
which has always been exceedingly
popular here, even with actors of only
ordinary ability in the stellar role, will
be presented at the Central Opera
House next Wednesday night, Oct. g..
Local patrons of the assic drama will
then again have an opportunity to witt
ness John Griffith's wonderfully vivid
impersonation Of "the devil" In this
case the devil will be most welcome
visitor. Mr.. Griffith's Interpretation
OF the imaginary parsonage whom
Goethe calls Mephisto aud his develop
ment of the character is indeed a
scholarly achievement. To the serious
minded student of the drama his por-
traiture is character study which at
once interests and fascinates the audi
tor. Yet his performance is at the
same time highly amusing, for he
gives to the lighter scenes most de-
lightful flavor of light comedy in his
delivery of the cynical. halfjesting
speeches of his satanic majesty. Per-
haps it is to this fact that the long
continued popularity of Mr.. Griffith in
Faust may be attributed as well as
to the literary merit of the play.
Goethe's poetic story was made into
a play more than fifty years ago and
the dramatic versions have been many.
1t has been translated and acted in
practically every civilized tongue and
there are few indeed, in the world of
pTaygoers, who have not witnessed its
presentation. The story o the devil
tempting Faust to woo the innocent
Marguerite, forcing him later to be-
tray the poor girl, leaving her to her
ruin, and Fausts terrible retribution
when his soul is finally claimed by the
arch fiend, all this touches a sympa-
thetic chord in every human breast.
One may witness the play over and
over again with undiminished interest.
