Actors had read the book. 1 wanted to ask Mr. Hummel if he had read the book, but I was afraid of a slander sult, so 1 deststed, 1 captured him at last had not read ‘Tritby.” If 1 had only had an “Byening World” artist with me!

He gave me ho opportunities. He merely sald: “I 1 feel proud of tt. I do not believe in fetich- ism. ‘Trilby' has become a metropolitan fetich," ‘Then I buttonholed hin and waylaid his imprersions. At the end of the second act he said he couldn't quite understand what It was all about. It was so odd, #0 unconventional, so quaint, He felt that the characters in the play might do anything. He was quite prepare for the worst. Svengali seemed to him Ike a lank dyspeptic with @ fearfully torpld liver, At the end of the third act—the great act that set the Garden audience all a-throbbing I swung over and appealed to him again, I was a-throbbing myself. To my amazement, he was similarly af- flleted. He was fevered and excited. “Ia immense,” he said. “It's gigantic. ‘To-morrow morning I buy a 98-cent edl- Uon of “Trilby!’" i This is a digression—as Du Maurier himself wouid say. It is a great pieas- ure to record the fact that Paul M. Pot- ter has covered himse:f with glory, and that he has built up a play that i# 4 model of dramatic construct on, and, better still, of intense human interest. ‘This t* not a matter of opinion. It Is an absolute fact. ‘The Trilby” we saw last night was a moving, unconventional drama that held the attention from the start, and at the end of its third act made a positive furor, Prejudiced as I the man who was by the fuct that Boston liked the ys P 1 was bound to admit that for once it had shown excelent judgment, and that henceforth it would be entitled to at least its voic Mr. Potter has followed the story close- ly enough. He has made a few improve- ments, He has knocked off several of Trilby's pasts, He has disinfected her and made a sort of aweet lavender of her. He has given her legitimate sweethearts, He has made Taffy propose to her, And he has used hypnotism instead of self- sacrifice as her motive for giving up Little Billee, ‘That is much nicer. Self- sacrifice is so insipid and penny-dread- fullsh., It has become a disease on the stage that attacks ait well-appointed he- roines, It was quite a rellef to see Trilby slink away from her Monsieur Litrebilli under the uncanny Influence of the hyp- notist. ‘The third act is absolutely perfect. It is laid in the foyer (unfortunately pro- nounced last night ax foire) of the Cirque des Bashibagoucks, Trilby 1s to sing before an enthusiastic public. She is known as La Svengali. The Laird and Taffy and Little Biilee are there. The concert begins, You hear behind the scenes the strains of “Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,” sung by a lady with a fat, con- tralto voice, simply dripping with fresh- ness, Then Trilby comes into the foyer. She does not recognize her old friends, for she is closely followed by the hyp- notist. After the entre'-act she returns to the stage, and the “three Angliches' have a fight with Svengall. The hypno- tliat Is Ml, The contest Is the last straw. He clutches his heart, laughs in a flend- ish Dr.Jekyll-and-Mr.-Hyde fashion fails backward upon a table and ex- pires. ‘The gpell is broken. There is an uproar in the concert room. ‘Trilby can no longer sing a note, and she comes forth hooted at and jeered—the old ‘Trilby of the Quartier Latin, It 1s impossible to tell how splendidly Mr. Potter has set forth these facts. No Sardou could have devised @ more completely impressive arrangement. When the curtuin fell, you would have liked to howl, and be rude. You felt like shaking hands with everybody, In the lobby, blase first-nighters yelled “Buccess!" “Success!” They were quite carried away—but they came back for the last act, which was the weakest. You see there was nothing left to do but to kill Trilby, In a nice white peignoir, a la Marguerite Gautier. She kindly shuftied off as quickly as she could, but it was rather depressing. It is not easy, however, to suggest a remedy for this, In fact, in all probability none is “neces- sary.
