i “W The Ev ening World Daily ‘Magazi Th w Plays Even Sarah Cannot Make “Judas’’ Moving Drama. BY CHARLES DARNTON BLL, anyway, Sarah has kept her word! She has produced “Judas,” by one of our “compatriets,"" as she gracefully put it in a few wonds at the | end of the play last night. ‘ | Mme, Bernhardt passed a quiet evening at the Globe. Even she could not | make John de Kay's lifeless play seem anything Mke moving drama, and re- izing this, apparently, she contented herself with looking every inch a woman 8 Judas. Her idea of Judas evidently doesn’t agree with that of the mediaeval | painters, for her pale face was as smooth as the Haglet's and her hair scarcely | rd enough to sugent @ treacherous nature, Her head and neck were covered with drapery and her figure hidden in an olive-green gabardine over which hung | « vlue mantle. In her hand she carried a tall etaft There was little more than this for those who had come to and judging by the crowded house it was interest in the play, that brought out the usual big audience. Sarah can make us belleve almost anything, but she can't convince us that she {sa tman, She would have been much more interesting If she had played Mary Magdalene, and if she had practiced the a: s of love on Pilate the prologuc would have been quite another story. There was so little opportunity for the Bernhardt fire to burn in the role of Judas, in spite of the author's purpose to show Judas as the lover of Mary and the betrayer of the Nazarene because of ealousy, that the janitor had evidently taken this into condideration, for the house was hotter than sin. Mr. de Kay's Judas was supposed to be humanly interesting for the reason that he betrays Christ not for money, but because his noble nature is warped by the desire for revenge when he learns from Mary that thelr chaste companton- ship is to be ended by her following the Nazarene. But Bernhardt's jealousy aS @ matter of course—or sex—had to be taken for granted, and It became a) rather severe strain on the imagination. There was little else in the play to appeal to the imagination. The language was so commonplace that any idea of poetry was crushed to earth again and again, The production shaped itself into a series of pictures, most of which were beautifully staged, Occasionally, defore the rise of the curtain, the orchestra gave vent to music which sounded promising, but hope died with a succession of declamatory speeches. It was impossible for Sarah to put into them the music of those beautiful speeches in “Phedre.” Jn the plea of Judas to Pilate for the Jews, and in the parting from Mary at the tomb, she suc- | eeded in being herself, at least, and these emall favors were thankfully re- ceived. She managed, too, to breathe @ ttle dramatic fire into the lines where Judas 1s told by Mary that she means to leave him for. the Nazarene. With her usual intelligence Mme. Bernhardt adapted herself and her meth- oda to the play, and she'made the plastte beauty of her poses a delight to the eye. And now that she has produced "Judas" she will probably prepare herself for at least one New Year's resolution.
