Goethe's immortal dramatic sue
cess, ''Faust,' has been selected from
the repertoire of classic plays in
which Mn. John Griffith is appear
ing this season, for presentation here

The long continued popularity oi

now more than half a century since
Goethe's story was made into a play
and thirty years since Lewis Morri-
son had the play re-arranged and
produced It with himself in the role
John Griffith then a very young
actor, but notwithstanding, a very
GOOD one, saw in the great character
of Mephisto a congenial role and
wrote another version of "Faust," in
which he began his stellar career in
1883. Both Morrison and Griffith
continued to star in their respective
versions Of the piece, almost continu-
ously. for number OF years. 1t has
ever been a matter or discussion
which of the two was "the greatest
devil" " Several other actors have APP
peared in different and, somewhat in
ferior versions Of the play, but none
have ever risen TO the degree Of prom
inence that rewarded the true great
ness of Morrison and Griffith.
TFaust" has been played here
time and time again, with Griffith
with Morrison, and with several
lesser luminaries in the stellar role.
Rut the popularity of the splendid
old classic has endured, and even
the bad performances that have beer
given by repertoire companis anc
cheap "one-night-stand" stars, has
never diminished the desire of the
public to witness Grinflths splendid
performance.
