THE FAUN' RICH
IN GENUINE FUN
William Faversham Brings Unique and Refreshing Sat-
:, ire to the Belasco-Its Charm More Than Off,
sets Its Shortcomings.

barrassing things to the shallow and
insincere humans whom he meets
through Stonbury. He points out their
fraiIties. laughs at their pretensions,
and makes himself Thoroughly unpopu-
lar. But the end is a happy one, for
the faun finally speeds back to his
fields and meadows and freedom, throw
ing back over the terrace wall the
hampering, itching clothes of ciViliZa-
ton. His departure, however, does not
take place until after he has succeeded
in breaking up an engagement "a la
mode" and mating two couples drawn
together by no other tie than that OF
love.
William Faversham's conception of the
fsun is delightful conceit. His first
appearance is in a leOpard's skin, and
so faithfully is the idea carried out that
he refuses to wear tights, but braves
the risks of pneumonia with bare legs.
He frisks and gambols in true faun
style. and seems never for moment
TO forget his role. The demands upon
the dramtic ability of the star are not
particularly heavy. but the close OF
the second act, symbolic of the awak-
ening of a woman's love, "the ripening
Of the-grape," he makes so appealing
that one can almost hear the humming
of the insect world on a summer night
and feel the drowsy atmosphere OF a
ttower-tilled garden.
Miss Opp At Her Best
In this scene Miss Opp does her best
work, despite the fact that 1t seems
hardly appropriate for the Junoesque
Miss Opp to be learning loves yoU
dream. As the ardent suffragette she
seems rather more cut out for the role.
Mr.. Faversham's supporting cast
might be improved.
