and it Is this intensely, almost childish
ly human element which creates SYM
pathy in all ages, classes and times. The
story loses none Of its effectiveness be-
cause it took place so many centuries
ago. Mems passions were stronger then
than now and more assertive. Their
frailtiesl were Just as great ana not so
well hidden and their motives were less
complicated. Effect followed cause with
marvellous celebrity and with little tenn
pering to the shorn lamb. Samson's life
story is almost a primal one as far as
mainsprings Of action are concerned. He
did what he chose to do; he was pun
ished; and in the end he took terrible
revenge for his wrong. The strength
and weakness of his character are both
extremes.
To put this character in the proper
light before n modern audience, sensi-
tive as il Is to the ridiculous and the
illogical, 10 stage such a story and keep
the dramatic elements so prominent that

which left few relics and little literature
is considered. "Samson" should prove
even stronger outside Of New York than
il is In the metropolis.
