The audience was especially d ‘ ighted with the artistic color .ffects achieved by Dr. Bates in the production of “Pippa Passes.” Never before has so much use been made of Guild hall’s exceptional facilities for lighting.

Dr. Bates is to be congratulated on his choice of cast. Helen Bracht as Pippa was a real Italian, with her thick black hair, long pensive face and mobile mouth. Her voice wag especially fine, rising clear and round on every climax and holding the audience by its sheer beauty. The honors of “Pippa Passes” were carried off, as was expected, by Earl Fleischman as Sebald in the shrub-house scene. Mr. Fleischman’s experience on the professional stage has given him an added power of utterance and consist ency of interpretation. He was ably seconded by Eyla Walker. Their scene was by far the most effective of the first bill. The student scene received the most applause of the evening; although Mr. Murphy’s enunciation was not always clear, his infectious laugh kept the audi ence in a convulsion. Russell Fox as Schramm gained not a few laughs by his solemn and religious reverence for his much-handled corn pipe. Although the part of Bluphocks is in itself rather repulsive, Clayton Baldwin made him a comedy character of the first order. Mr. Baldwin’s fastidious walk and clever facial expression upheld a somewhat dull scene. The turret scene missed fire but the fault lies not with Miss Frater or Miss Crosby but with Browning. A weak ser ious scene after scenes of uproarious comedy is bound to fall flat. The costumes of Kathryn Hartley, Helen Purington, and Hesther Hurd were one of the joys of the production and did much to give the piece an Ital ian atmosphere. Miss Purington as the second girl deserves especial mention for making a small part stand out. Bobert NcNary as the Steward is to be praised for a bit of emotional acting of high order. Charles Prim as the Bishop had what is perhaps the most difficult role in “Pippa” and proved fully worthy of the director's faith in him. Although from a literary and artistic view-point “Pippa Passes” is a veritable jewel, from a dramatic stand-point it is sadly lacking. This will account for the easy popularity of “The Cradle Song,” that delicious bit of mother love. The action of "The Cradle Song” was slower than that of “Pippa,” but brilliant flash es of individual acting compensated for this difficulty. As Teresa, Martha Beer did the best work she has ever done. Passing easily from light joyous comedy to serious emotion, Miss Beer was at all times the center of interest. Smiling and happy, confused but sparking with life, she left a vivid impression of beau tiful and girlish loveliness, as she bade good-bye to her protectors and set forth with her young husband for life out side the convent walls. Miss Beer's acting in this last scene drew many gen uine tears from a sympathetic audience. Krnest Watkins as the doctor furnish ed a good deal of the humor of the piece and also made a decided hit. In the part of Marcela, Vivian Kellems revealed comedy ability to no small de gree. She kept the comic atmosphere so continually before the audience that she had but to smooth her veil or roll her eyes sideways to send them into guffaws of laughter. Fauna Wootton's lovely voice showed to advantage in Sister Juana's quiet pathos. Rosamund Shaw got much out of the insignificant part of Sister Inez, and Harriet Plohemus’s giggle in the character of the door-keeper will go down in history. The Mother Superior, Jeannette Calkins, handled a long part creditably. If space permitted, each and every character might be reviewed with profit. On the whole, both perfor j mances were exceedingly well done and j set a high standard u r all productions ; to follow.
