..Anausenaents
araustr at the Grnna.

A full quarter of a century of Lewis Morrison's Faust" has probably sea- soned the theatre-goers, even if the play has become classic for the worlds stage. At any rate the audi ence at the Grand Wednesday night lent production of Faust" produc- tion that brought forth few odious comparisons, as the spectator rsmem- bered the performance of Morrison himself.
 As for the play. why everyone knows his Faust" from the fatal bargain of the German doctor to the deification of Marguerite. as her soul is freed from the sk&i3 ~of unwilling sin. And the pE9duekEpaS Of last night was the same old 'T'ahst'sss showing no deterioration ln lire stage effects. upon which 1t de- Ipek3 Top much of it's, charm.
 F Rosabsi Morrison is now the name with which the show agents conjura. in the stead of that of her famous father. And her performance bears out we'll the stress that is laid before hand upon her.
 Though not dependent upon it's music for it's life. still the music In the Faust" of Morrison Is one of it's charms. The voices are good, both quartettes. singly and ensemble, and tho songs, all good old tunes and hyinnats. add touch of fneness to the performance.
 The cast Of the Faust" as seen last night was fair throughout. the Martha Eof Miss Fanfifo Fzoyt and the Faust of Carlisle Shelley showing well. And Edward N. Hoyt, as Mephisto--and heres where the comparison comes in ---is not so4apggestixe. In his work af- ter all. of a lack and A loss. Of course, the quarter of a century of Lewis Nor. rison makes emulation hard, and yet Edward N. Hoyt has not failed altos gether to i'll the loss
 But. after all. Faust gets just little Ansipid. just a little too sug- gestive of the realistic birthstone and sulphur that we have renounced in our heterqdoxy.. The Devil" of Molnar's Is more appealing. with his modernity and bis dress suit, and his tnsinuations of ethis and that and the other, all that we of this century know so we'll. Faust holds up we'll. remarkably well. but the debut Of MoInar has eclipsed Goetiie and his Poem Play xt comes now as q sort of an anti-climax. that will. the prophets say. be covered be- fore Ions py ftHe curtain that is iney- itable in it's fall upon all things thar outlive their traditions.

Here's New One: Hot Shot
 Roins from California Skies

Santa Cruse. Cal. Jan. 6.--It rained hot shot at Santa Cruse today for near ly an hour. according to Mrs. W. IT. Burns and her neighbors. Some of the shot have been preserved.
 Mrs. Burns curiosity was aroused by the peculiar antics of c number of barefoot children who were playing in front of her house. When she ask ed them what was the matter they told her that the air was full of electricity and that hot shot were falling from the clouds She then heard a chatter on the house tops that sounded like hail. and she saw little white threads of steam arising from the neighbor- ing roofs. This steam was found to be the result of the dropping of little hot moulten globules on the shingles.
 The rain continued from to { o'clock and varied In intensity. The children who were baroheaded and were unshod were compelled to take to cover. one boy carries burn on his finger where one of the hot pellets struck him.
 One theory to account for the phe- nomena is that the metallic rain was due to a meteor. The pellets are about the size of No. shot and re- semble lead.
