Faust" Charms Large Aborn Audi
ence with Gounod's Great Work.
Gounod's Faust worked its unfailing
charm on the usual Aborn audience at
the New National Theater last night.
The wonderfully sensuous melodies of the
third act. the gripping soldiers chorus.
and the magnificent finale of the opera
are thrilling in their effect upon the
hearer. 1t matters not how often one
may have listened to those strains, the
delight is always renewed; in fact, the
more familiar one becomes with the
score the better one likes it, and the
more completely does one surrender HIM

poser. All great singers. sopranos, ten

its place in the affections both of artists
and public.
The cast last night was in all respects
adequate and excellent in a good many.
The chorus also acquitted itself credit
ably, and the orchestra did fine work
under Ralph Lyford's leadership, es-
pecially in the finale. The honors of
the performance were undoubtedly car

sang charmingly. acted well, and was as

she reached the climax with her superb
vocalization in the great trio OF the last
act.
Salvatore sciaretti's robust tenor voice
was heard with much pleasure In the
part of Faust, but again 1t was to be re-
gretted that his acting fell short OF the
most ordinary requirements.
Neither In gesture nor facial expression
could be found the slightest trace of the
impassioned lover He sang the "Salve

happy in the duet with Miss Crosby In

voice lacks the essential quality for this
great bass role. In some instances. how

POLPS.
"The Country Boy"

The presentation of THE Country
Boy" Edgar selwyn's four-act drama.
which shifts its scenes from village to
city environment and back again, fur
nished a succession of surprises to that
portion of the large audience at Polls
Theater last night which has become ac-
customed to look for discriminating
judgment in the casting Of the plays pro-
duced by the Poll players.
When the piece was first presented in
Washington at the Columbia Theater,
some three years ago, II. Dudley Hawley
imbued the title role with SO delightful
spontaneity that his assumption of the
same Characterization last night, as a
member of the Poll stock organization,
was one of the few natural expectations
realized. and 1t may be said right here
that his portrayal of Tom Wilson, The
Country Boy. has lost nothing of its
original charm.
The ease and sincerity of Mr.. Hawley's
characterization made him easily the
dominating personality throughout the
telling of this simple tale (Which runs
like a chapter from the pages of many
a young mans life). in which an egotis-
teal village youth is lead by his over
confidence and ineXperience to believe
that the road TO success leads along the
glittering way of some big city instead
Of in the more quiet, simple paths of his
small home town, a fallacy which he
realizes only after he has tried his wings
and gotten them badly singed in the
candle of city life. ..
In the case OF Tom Wilson. a young
chorus girl was the cause of his failure
and establishment, while broken and
rheumatic newspaper man saved him
from suicide in the New York theatrical
clearinghouse into which he had drifted
and made him see that his birthplace
was his one chance of business success;
his country sweetheart the one girl to
make him happy: the home Of his wild
owed mother his greatest refuge from
the evils of the world.
First, there is Jane Belknap. the sweet,
generous village girl, who gave her love
and faith to young Wilson when she sent
him to New York to make good-a role
which one would most naturally have ex-
pected TO see Izetta Jewel assume last
night. Imagine the surprise when Ger

Miss Bondhill could have played the
show girl with ease, while those who
last week saw Miss Jewels virile por-
trayal of the title part in Merely Mary
Ann" cannot doubt that she would have
brought something of the same spiritual
grace and magnetic charm to the less
appealing character of Jane Belknap-t
