and the physical grace for this role, and
his playing of II is treat TO the senses.
The splendid acting of James ONeill
as Jacob also was an important element
in the success of the play. In depicting
the old patriarch, Mr.. O'Nein rose 10
heights of moral grandeur and spiritual
beauty that exceeded anything he has
done throughout his long and varied ca
reer on the stage. 1t was the emDodi-
ment of all that was best and vorthiest
of the old school acting.
1t may also be stated in truth that
Howard Kyle, as the sinister eidei
brother. Simeon, never did anything nan
so well in his life. He made decided
individual hit
The play begins almost where the story
does And it moves along smoothly, rap
idly, dramatically. toward the climax
embodying all the elements of the orig
inal narrative with all its cross currents
of passion, hatred, avarice, and love
The only liberty Mr.. Parker has taken
with the story was TO give Potipher' $
wife name. It is Zuleika. This role
was played by Miss Pauline Frederick in
such a way as to cause one TO wonder
how Joseph escaped her wiles.
Running through the play Is the real
love story of Joseph and Asenath, the
daughter of the high priest. 1t is sweet
and convincing, and PROVIDED all the ro-
nance that was necessary.
The play contained four acts and thir-
teen scenes. 1t was a moving spectacle
filed with color, dancing girls, slaves,
music. mobs. warriors. priests, soothsay-
ers, and msgicians: yet the pageant as
such never for a moment dominated the
play. No higher tribute could be paid
to tie art of Mr. Louis n. Parker than
that.
The first act held one by its deep rev
erential sincerity and patriarchial dig
nifty, but the most effecting scene was
the last. the one in which Joseph reveals
himself to his brethren and the meeting
with his father This meeting between
Jacob and his son Joseph, the first born
of his beloved Rachel. was beautiful
Mr.. Parker strays a little from the
story in making, perhaps. little too
much of the pursuit of Potipher's wife
after Joseph. She is not content after he
has been thrown into the dungeon. No;
she must visit him in his misery and deg
radiation and mock him and his sweet
heart. Asenath. But Zuleika is found out
in the end by her husband. and there. in
the shadow of the Pyramids, she sears
out her eyes, and her hideous shrieks
of agony pierce the upper reaches OF the
theater and supply the only discordant
note in the entire play.
