Students who saw Lewis Morrison last week in "Faust" may be interested somewhat in the career of that eminent actor in so far as it has to do with Goethe's play. The adaptation which Mr. Morrison uses is his own. In his translation and arrangement of Faust, he has employed only those scenes which involve the plot and which at the same time give ample opportunity for effective stage business. Mr. Morrison has played "Faust" for twelve successive seasons, and to use his own words, has "made three fortunes at it." He intends to lay the piece aside next year.
