 LYRIC
 That wonderful comedy-drana ''The Rosary" opened for the week at the Lyric theatre last night. There is just something about '"The Rosary which holds a particular appeal for almost any person.

 To Arthur Griffen, the popular comedian of the Poli Players, an abundance of credit is due for his successful portrayal of that quaint and fashioned character, Father Kelley, the priest. Griffen was well cast for the part and his work was unusually realistic.
 Mary Ann DentIer the charming leading woman, proved a-revelation. Appearing as she does in the double role of Mrs. Vera Wilton and her twin sister. Alice Marsh she is called upon to do some rapid character changes which are accomplished to the satisfaction of the audience. Ar thur Chatterdon. as Bruce Wilton, is his usual self and does his work in a commendable manner. Assisting Father Kelley, Charles D. Brown and M3het Griffith furnish much of the comedy and Jack McGrath and Mary Stailings supply share of the love making. Maxwell Driscoll, who proves to he the cause Of all the troubles of the happy family, is as fierce as ever but joins Father kelley's fold at the end.

LONDON, March 10, 1920.
JACOB EPSTEIN's daringly uncon-
ventional bronze figure Of Christ,
now on exhibition in London,
has created the greatest ,sensa-
tion that the British art world has
known in recent years. This new
work by the American born Jewish
sculptor is unlike any conception Of
the founder Of Christianity that has
yet been known, either In literature
OF art. It has amazed the critics and
aroused a storm Of controversy. not
the first that has been precipitated by

this artist, who makes a habit of
challenging the worlds opinion.
A few years ago Epstein produced
an extraordinary cubist Venus. There
was a fuss In Paris over his tomb of
Oscar Wilde for Pere Lachaise ceme-
terry, and his decorative figures for
the home of the British Medical Asso-
citation, in the Strand, were attacked
by the newspapers and condemned by
many religious bodies on the ground
that they offended against decency.
Epstein's figure Of Christ Is on ex-
hibition at the Leicester galleries. Its
bold departure from all precedent Is
the subject of heated argument. A
point of view widely held regarding
1t Is we'll put by a leading art critic,
who writes:
There was nothing particularly
pagan In Jacob Epstein's famous
cubist Venus. Nor Is there anything
very Christian about his bronze
Christ" Another well known writer
on art, who happens also to be. Jew,
declares that had Epstein lived in the
days Of TorQuemada and the inQuisi-

ing.
This type" he said "is not that
or a great leader of men. It rather
suggests to me low type. It is
most emphatically not Christ. It ts
ugly and marked by hopelessly bad
construction. The figure Is not nat.
. ural and the idea Of pointing to the
wounded hand. which Is too big and
too long. Is an inartistic convention"
The art critic Of London news
paper speaks of the incongruity be-
tween the reality Of the face and
the Byzantine attitude. "The result"
he declares "is not Epstein's nor any
one else's idea Of Christ"
That opinion well represents the
general view. It is curious to fnd
some of the weekly journals enthusi-
astic in praise of Epstein's work. Its
critic describes the head as that of
"a comber but convinced enthusiast
and seer" 1t is even stranger to
find a Church of England publication
mildly praising.
"Epstein's Christ" it says, "is very
different from the Christ as He IL
known and loved by Christian hearts.
This Christ is a stern ascetic, fierce.

been forgotten and the church has

end. 1t Is not only an illustration of

for whoever Is able and willing to
see it. For this reason, 1 should have
liked the figure to be out of doors and
in a public place"
Epstein's Christ has been bought for
$10.500 by private collector in this
country whose name has not been
disclosed. The sculptor says he was
glad that this work was not going
to America. Perhaps America will
be glad. too.
Letters by the score are pouring in
upon the sculptor. most of them from
persons unknown to him, voicing the
opinions Of the writers on his latest
work. Among these letters, he says, are
some from mystics who declare that
his figure Of the Redeemer is prophe-
sled in the Bible to appear at the
present time. These writer's sug-

smile. that was merely the medium
and that the work was foreordained."
