In suort, Mr. Wiistach had so much promising material at hand that he probably thought it would be a suame fot to save “Lhals” for the two-dullar houses.

Thais, yet the sinful .act remains that the actress who Plays the role must «ut an interesting figure. In this respect Miss Collier left little to be desired. Occa- emer ad sionally she gave the wrong emphasis to a speech, but her figure always knew what ft was talking bout. Her acting was lacking in subtlety, and unlike Mary Garden she did aot succeed tn making wickedness seem an art. But she suggested unmistakably ant even gloriously at ti: the joy of ng in Alexandria. In fact, she was su- perbly elemental. It was only when sie attempted to reach the spiritual side of the character that she fell short. Sie died in the retreat of the White Sisters without having once seemed one of them. Therefore let there be praise for the courtesan and regret for the penitent. A white face doesn't make a White Sister, ‘Tyrone Power played the hermi: who leads Thais out of sin with too much voice and too Uttle variety. He was imposing and weirdly picturesque as the religious fanatic, but he missed the spiritual grandeur that Renaud gives the wretched monk, and at times even simple dignity was threatened by bis tendeney to give way too freely to bis emotions. in the last act particularly he came @angerously near to ranting.
