Old plavs on the modern stage

i'm his mouth to his castle and there
he kept her / know not how long. :"
"Pericles" is an adaptation from
Shakespeare. Originally written oy
Shakespeare i'm collaboration with two
other dramatists IL was once intensely
popular or all Shakespeare's plays
"Pericles' is the most garbled and pi-
rated. So Mr.. Eliot Is taking no un-
due liberties. The original was Curl
Gus mixture Of what is beautiful and
what Is vile-a rose In "A pile OF filth.
Mr.. Eliot has rescued the story or Ma
rina. who. so tho tale goes, betraye d
by false friends, meets her father, Per-
icles, at sea. after he had given her
UP as dead. n Compared to Shakespeare's
finer work the play is as a crow to a
peacock. II Is nevertheless possessed
Of a number Of sublime passages:
Thou god OF this great vast. re-
buke these surges
Which wash both heaven and hell
And thou that hast
Upon the winds command. bind
them in brass
Having called them from the deep!
oh. still
Thy deafcning dreadful thunders:
gently quench
Thy nimble sulphurous flasher
To round out the volume Mr.. Eliot
has adapted THE Duchess OF Pavy''
from play OF the Ellizabethan trage-
dian. John Ford. Ford was particular
ly noted for his portrayal Of passion.
Few have been able To paint tor
tured soul goaded into n frenzy of
jealousy and passion until he covers
under its agony az under the singing
lashes Of whip. Few have shown
woman as Blanca, lighting. hesitating,
yielding and overcoming In the same
moment. Ford's style though de-
ciamatory and ponderous. sometimes
reaches heights OF magic eloquence
and grandeur.
The icy current Of my frozen blood
Is kindled up i'm agonies as hot
AS flames Of burning sulphur.
Mr.. Eliot has on the whole sue
ceeded. lie has blown The breath Of
life into artistic forms wasting their
sweetness in the grave and Stunned

turn to dust-that depends upon
whether the little theatres want lit

happily he rejoLns his two beloved

There are certain indications of a
lack of familiarity with dramatic writ
ing in this piece which perhaps show
clearer in the closet than they might
on the stage. but the poignancy of
the situation needs not to be dwelt
on. 1t is strongly there jn a gripping
suspense. The daughter is the real
martyr of the drama. which closes
showing her as having given up her
fiance and devoting her life to her
father. The mother goes off to marry
her second husband.
Owing to a certain sensitive quality
in the dialogue this play reads better

But at her best the author achieves
"a genuine effect with a fine economy
OF means, as in sentences like these:
Beauty like yours is a penance for
other women to regard. You are very
like an exquisite temple in which
there is no god"
You philosophers are blind men in

Victor Hugo's "L'Homme Qui Rit'
is curiosity of literature in it's way.
After a few pages of well defined eX-
preston its bulk Is composed of rhe-
torical harangues on social themes.
To the great majority of readers of
Les Miserables" the book is un-
known. 1t was fair game for the
seeker after unusual plots. And the
treatment is not unworthy. 1t is not
a dramatization, however. in the ordi-
nary sense. There is wide departure
from Hugo. But the conception of
character is preserved. Crsus and
Dea and Gwymplane are fundament-
ally the characters Hugo created.
They serve the purposes of the drama
tist. which happen to differ from
Hugo's purposes.

THE SHEPHERD IN THE DISTANCE.
A Pantomime in Three Acts. By Hol-
land Hudson. Cincinnati: Stewart &
Kidd Company.
Pantomime Is perhaps the best me-
ium for the presentation OF fairy
.ales, especially for adult audiences.
This is largely so because grownups
are usually neither old enough nor
wise enough to realize that fairy tales
contain more everlasting truth to the
paragraph than so-called realistic tales
TO the page. Therefore fairy tales
must be treated with flippancy. and as
pantomime lends itself to the whim-
sical they are in most cases well
mated.
Holland Hudson's pantomime plav
is an amusing fairy tale In which two
yawning, chess playing, entirely un-
convincing villains are quantity and
dexterously poisoned by the princess,
who. together with her shepherd lover
and his trained goat, lived happily
forever after 1t might appear At

the firm OF Weis & Gutenberg, 2o6

Mrs. Grace Jackson, an actress, 25 West
Seventy-fourth Street, last night to

After gaining entrance, Hirsh said he
took a chair in the parlor and pre-
pared to wait for Mrs. Jackson. Sud

of the hall was opened and he saw the
actress peering out at him.
He went to the end of the hall and
placed his foot in the crack of the

door, he says, and emptied bottle of
carbolic acid in his face.
Hirsh dashed from the apartment
and hailed passing taxi He was
driven to Mount Sinai Hospital, where
