! In the suise Of fantasy THE F'aun,
William Faversham's latest play, under
| takes to impress some rather serious
! thoughts. The play is in defense OF
natural impulse and lightness Of heart
but in presenting these as duties and EN-
ploying SO elaborate a dramatic structure
| to impress their Importance. it occasion
ally counteracts its own purpose. Yet
| THE Faun'' himself is a rollicking, care
free influence: a charming bit OF nythol-
ogy transplanted to the current time,
filled with a wealth of animation and
nature-love that only demigod could
hope to attain. The central character Is
Around him events move with exhil-
arating responsibility, for, having Sc
lected a superhuman parsonage as his
hero the author has his deus eN machina
always at hand.
When he desires to know what horse
will win race the faun merely goes and
asks the horse. Or. ;f he happens to be
some distance from the paddock, he sends
4 winged insect as his messenger. BY
placing his turf Information st the dis
posal of a financially shattered aristo-
crat who is about to commit suicide he
secures admittance to London society and
completely revolutionizes the circle with
which ne comes into contact. His Dhysi-
cal antics are graceful but astounding;
his frankness of speech is a thing to be
feared and his views Of life Incompetent
sible in complex social system because
of their extreme simplicity. With this
and chuckles through three acts OF epi-
gram and vivacious incident with almost
much gleeful irresponsibility as the
faun himself.
In the title role Mr.. Faversham gives
renewed evidence of his extraordinary
unlike anything he has hitherto pre-
scented. and yet ranks as one of his
masterpieces of representation. He Is
never content with a merely superficial
character. but by some hypnotic process
becomes the character itself. Every
movement is suggestive of q superb vi
tally which only youth that 'defies the
human measurements of time could dis
play. The faun is a stranger to the
World-yet he understands it because it
is part of nature. and he laughs and
dances through it and at the end returns
to his own innocence. glad to be free.
To realize such character without a
moments lapse into the commonplace is
the achievement which again distin-
cuisines Mr.. F'aversham as an actor Of
rare accomplishments. Though on wholly
different lines, the impersonation ranks
with his portrayal of "Herod.'
In the first act the spendthrift, who is
about TO commit suicide, is command
ing figure as played by Mr.. Nye Chart.
Some of the best comedy of the play is
developed in his matter-of-fact prepare
ton for suicide. and throughout he makes
an excellent foil for the extravagant
drollerles of the faun. Miss Julie Opp
has in the part of the suffragette who is
converted from ambitions for a public
career to realization Of the happiness
of domestic sentiment a role which calls
for less artistic and temperanental dis
play than some of her previous appear
ances have called forth. She meets its
requirements with delightful sufficiency.
The entire cast is exceptionally COM
petent.

USE CARE WITH FERTILIZERS
Two Familiar. Farm Products
Apply Separately.

Both wood ashes and hen manure
are farm products, and one supplies
what the other lacks. The ashes con-
tain potash, phosphoric acid and lime,
while the hen manure is strong in
nitrogen. 1t is the worst practice,
however, to mix the two together be-
fore using. The lime in the ashes will
act to set the ammonia in the hen
manure free. If this is done before
the mixture is put in the soil the am
monia will be lost.
If, on the other hand, the hen ma
nure is worked into the ground sew
eral inches deep, and then the wood
ashes spread and raked or narrowed
in there will be no loss. The lime
will still act to set the ammonia free.
but, being in the soil, it will be safely
held there for the crops. Thus the
way to use hen manure and ashes is
to apply them separately and work
both into the soil.
