Faust" the time-enduring mas
terpiece of the immortal Goethe, is
the offering at the Grand for the
first half of the week. An audience
that comfortably filled the house,
witnessed the play last evening, and
though many of those present doubt
less had seen the piece performed
by more noted artists, all seemed to
appreciate the efforts of the present
company. The work of Mr.. San
ford Dodge and Miss Louise Mar
shall in the leading roles was par
ticular praiseworthy, both acquitting
themselves in fine shape. While
Faust" and the drama seen here
two weeks ago, the Devil" have
much in common as to plot, there is
wide difference in the moral tone
and the lessons for good to be gained
therefrom. In the first named, evil
is shown up in such hideousness that
none but the totally depraved could
fail to avoid the soul danger depicted;
on the contrary, in the Devil" the
way of the transgressor is roseate
to the very nd.-Deseret News.
