No one will ever ac- | cuse Hastings, pre-eminently. an actor of repression, of either tragic or emotional | strength—the learning of his lines seemed always to absorb most of his dramatic fire. What could be the outcome, then, with the leading parts thus woefully mi given? The dramatist it seems has set- tled all this. | The novel, written at white heat, with | the savage (which is the real self in any | creation) well to the front in every ag- | gressive and sinister speech, proved a sensation to the agnostic, a shock to the | most liberal minded; a violent, a terrific | shock to the religious. Religion, let one be thankful, is the one thing that shall n 149 31 84 specch and walk, In fact, the dramatist Stems to have come to his task in a gen- tle, conventional mood, and the most de- vout, it is sald, will find little or noth- ing to offend him from rise to fall of curtain. Robson and Hastings seem to have been quite equal to their tasks. The third act was mildly appiauded, but the Test of the play was received almost In Sflence. Mrs. Voynich has strenuously objected to the method of treatment and threatened, so rumor has it, to prevent its production in New York. As the work | | stands, it may be a play. New York may | Feverse the decision of Providence, but whatever the result, It is not “The Gad- fiy,” for “The Gadfly’ is not likely to be a'play In our day and generation. Local journalists whe enfoy taking a rise out of the critics would have had a merry time of it had they been writing for the Canadian papers during _Mrs. Fiske's recent performance of ~Becky | Sharp. Some of the criticisms were unin- tentionally most humorous. Two openly accuse Mrs, Fiske of making Becky a real bad woman and a third darkly hints at the same flaw. There may be others that have not coms to light. Ye gods and little fishes!
