Perhaps from a liiialness view, the piece la not .a auccess. but from a view of brotherly love, there la not a more beautiful drama with a better moral. Prac- tically a aermon, "Tlie Sk-rvant In the Ilouae." comiiellnl a spiritual feeling and It was not broken until tlie fall of Ihe filial curtain. F.ven hack xtage, where Jollity Is always prevalent, there ivaa a aolemnlty that was awesome. The actors had Ihelr whole heart In Ihe play and aceraeil III lltc through the tenae eUuatlons. The ner- fiimiance could hardly have lieen lielter given awl every member woe perfect-In hla or her char- neler. A play like this hiillila a lielter patronage. The setting waa good snd the environment eeemed IK'rfect. There prohnhl]' la no role that aiv aclor loves lo iiliy mote than that of .Manaon, the butler. ThIa Clirlatllke gentle charncler was remark- nlily well played Tiy Joseph Glllow. Ho gave a illgnllleil. dramatic performance. His make-up waa excellent. One of Ihe strongeat characters In the play was liortnyed hy Oeorgo Varren. As Robert, tho sccIoIIbIIc brother, Mr. Farren diaplayed a re- markable piece of acting, ami his big scenes In the ttcenit and llilnl actn were gripping. His ci»ler dialect waa very gooil.

In tbe absence or ne):liio Wsllace. no better snbatltute ss a leading viniiaii cnUd possibly bare been fonnd. Dcr gen- llnieui of nuinner captivates the audience. Alrheua Lincoln waa vety forcefnl aa the Vicar, with llros eloniienllv dellveroil, holding tho honee In tho lost act. particularly. Howard BouJden. as tho pompons English bishop, was eitimoly clever. Hie role of the mercenary birhop demands a good knowledge of cbaracter ncling to portray, and Ur. Boulden waa not found lacking:. .lean Brae was awcel and charming aa Mary; an eieellent Ingeniio, juat made for tbe part, imrMMing really charming penonallty.
