Griffith's Faust.
Several decades have now passed since the Faust of Goethe was pronounced the best acting drama of the modern stage. During that interval nothing has been produced to render this criticism less just, and with the exception of "Francesca de Rimini" by George Alfred Bokor, there is no acting tragedy, out of Shakespeare worthy to be placed by its side. Its story is of such vivid interest that its recital will bear numberless repetitions, and it is a significant and happy fact that this popular play conveys none but the most impressive lessons of purity, worth and virtue. The principal character of the tragedy is necessarily "Mephisto;" as portrayed by John Griffith, it is a most tireless and demoniac spirit of evil. Few actors who have attempted this characters are as fittingly equipped as he to perform this role. Being possessed of unusual physical gifts, a robust voice, a magnetic manner and accurate conception of character, and being one of the intellectual type of actors, Mr. Grifflth has a rare combination of elements essential to create and establish a lasting success.
Scientifically "Faust" as represented by Manager Church's company, is a most magnificent production and should win the approbation of all play goers at the Opera House where it will be presented next Tuesday evening.
A large 60 feet baggage car is employed to transport the accessories for this production and it is needless to mention here that what promises to be the grandest scenic and calcium revelation is none other than Griffith's produc tion.
