T.7SS OLGfc UETHERSOLE'S RETURN
By Jules'- Eck'ert Qoodman.
(From Th Juarnal's Own CorrMpoSdeut.)
NEW TORK. Dec. 1. It haa been
iomi four year alnce .M's
Netheraole . was laat Been In
, thla country. She waa than
playing auch pieces aa -Carman" and
"Hapho" and creating a great atlr on
account of the character of these plays
and the Intensity with which she acted
. them. Mlsa Netheraole returned to New
York last Monday and presented an
"adaptation of Pul HervlPU'a "Le
, Dedttle," under the tile of "The Laby
rinth." No two playa could be farther
apart than such a drama and the
, dramatisation of the Daudet atory..
Paul Hervleu has for yeare occupied
very prominent place In French
literature, though unhappily he la not
generally known te the ordinary reading
public of thla country. Borne years ago
one of his playa, "Les TenalUea." was
presented here by a company which was
producing a series of continental
dramas, such as "El Gran Galeotto" end
- , "The Maater' Builder." The patronage,
- however, was of the-"speolAr sort and
thus the-play did not gain a wide pub
licity. It may be aaltl, therefore, that
'The Labyrinth" la Hervleu'e real intro
ductlon to the American theatre-going
public; s. .- t ...
It's a Problem Play. -. v . .
In one way thla 'la rather a pity. ot
that "Le Dedale" ta not representative
of Monsieur Hervleu at his beat on tha
J ' contrary, It e as fine probably as any
, thing which he, has written; but becauae
the adaptation "The Labyrinth" does
not fully connote and denote its origi
nal. ' "l Dedale" waa one of the moat
dlecussed and. debated playe-efreeent
" 'years In Parlsi It le hardly Jlkely that
"The" Labyrinth" will prove cause
' eelebre here In New Tor. .
A note on a pamphlet, slipped between
the leaves of the program, vouchaafes
" the Information that In hla play Mon
sleur Hervleu endeavors to ahow "Na
ture's argument agalnat divorce where
there, are children of a marriage." Thla
may be, and la probably true, but the
'special Instance which the author usss
to polnrhle4essoa Is-of-eeew-a character
- that the drama might better be regarded
as a study In the psychology of emotion,
applied to the problem of divorce.
A 'to Divorce. . .' '
Marianne deVogia haollved happily
with her husband until hla conduct had
become so outrageoua that she oould no
longer endure It She obtained a divorce
. and aecured tha custody of- tholr child,
t Louis. - For two years . thereafter she
' remained quietly at the -home- of her
parenta. M. andf Mme.-Vlllard-Duval.

". scruplea; the only law which he recog
nise Is the legal law, founded on social
good. " Here, then, you have the first
glimpse of the problem in the contending
views of the parents.
Marianne cemelf. though she re

' But. while ahe- ta datlng what to do.
In comes her friend. Paulette de Bt

Grand theatre next Tuesday and Wednes

special price matinee Wednesday at till

will disclose, it Is promised an average
of vocal and acting excellence rarely
shown. Many of thoae who will appeal
have been In the caat of this play from
Its Inception; some scored success in
. Mr. Savsge'a London production of the
piece and were brought here especially
' to add strength to the performsnce after
five months of distinguished success at
the Shaftesbury theatre.
Frank Plxley provided in "The Prince
of-PIlaen" a humorous-romantic story,
deftly ingenious in its complications
and picturesquely placed on the shores
of the Mediterranean, under the blue
akles of the Riviera. Such a story was
sn inspiration to the composer and from
Gustav Luders' tuneful pen came a rush
of harmonies that filled the lyrics and
gave to the entertainment' such song
" gerrts BstThe Message of the Violets."

-.'.-OF- .
When Marianne hears this, ahe Imme
diately declarea that ahe will maxry je
Breuil. whereat Paulettt, who would
have winked at the auggeatlon of -a
lover. Is scandalised at the bare lda
of thla marriage, which ahe considers
t disgrace. Quite agalnat her mother's
lshes, but with her father's support
Marianne accepta de Breuil. But and
here Is a pussllng thing you do not
know whether she doea thla -out of
pique to anser her former husband or
because she feels that she needs some
one ' to help' her In rearing her child,
and becauae she loves de Breuil.'.
. ,' ;.
Father's Deferred Claim.- .
By the time of the second act the Ae
Breuils have been married five years.
During thla period they have apparent,
ly lived very happily together. One
thing haa, however, displeased Marianne
a bit and that la the rough, pugnacious
traits which de Breuil haa instilled into
her-son. Her husband has' done v this
with the best motive In the world, be
lieving It to be the virile, proper, train
ing;. :for a boy; but Marianne feels that
11 is unsuitca to ine tenaer nature ui
the boy. Another person haa also n(y
tlced thla. According to the settle
ment at the time of the divorce the
father -waa to see the son - at - stated
Intervals and the boy had been sent to
hint ss agreed. , He had noted thla new
tendency In the boy and It had angered
him. (Tie cornea to Marianne now and
demands ' on this pretext .. that . he be
allowed a longer custody of the child.
Hla aecond wife has' died and he now
feels all the paternal Instinct (or hla
child which he should have felt years
bofore. , .-. "'' 1 .
- Ha Is as considers tavaa he can be
under the circumstances, but he states
hla eaae very frankly, saying that aa
long as the boy waa under hla mother's
influence he tied had no objections to
the arrangements; but that he moat de
cidedly objects to thla new Influence.
Marianne seen the justice of hla claim.
Indeed she herself bad noticed these
very things, and finally agreee to send
the boy to blm for three weeks at his
home at NeraWge. .
There at Nerange the hoyU. taken ill
with dlphtherlarHuaband and wife meet
at hla bedside and the little fellow Is
always begging them; to love one another
again.' Marianne sleeps again In her old
room, the room shrouded with memories
of her f Iret marriage. - The old love
which ahe had had for de Pogls had
never died and now returns with re
newed force thanks to associations. She
learns "too that the dread dlaeaae which
haa juat spared her child has carried Off
the child of her friend Paulette, that
through this child, though dead. Paul
ette and her husband have become recon
ciled. And when de Pogls Importunes
her, speaking of the paat beseeching her
In the name of their child, bit by bit
she at "last c6nf esses that ahe has. al
ways loved him and that ahe atlll lovea
him. - i -,,' Vf"- -'.-''
A.Tnjgic End. '
She now stands between two men, her
former husband and her present one.
Bhe returns. to de Breuil and ahe tells
hint the truth. He, because he loves
her so deeply, offers to kill himself that
she may be free; but she will not listen
to any such thing. Instead she swears
to him that she 'never j wants to see
de' Pogls again, -that henceforth she
will live only for her child. She leaves
him standing there In the dusk on the
edge of a cliff overlooking, the river.
Thither cornea da Pogla and de Breuil
demands that he leave Marianne. . De
Pogls refuses. There is a struggle and
de Breuil hurls de Pogls over the preci
pice. Tailing with him. The play closes
with Marianne playing With her child In
the garden Ignorant of the fate which
haa' overtaken the men. -. ,;
Some) Interpretationa.i
There' are those who say that the au
thor' means to declare that all person el
discomfort must be disregarded for the
sake of the child, that the bringing up
offspring is essential basis- of marriage,
to which all other considerations must
defer. Yet even, on this ground from
the very play Itself there are other In
ferences to be drawn and these are not
"Pictures In the Smoke."' "The Bong of
the CIMes." "Heidelberg," -The Tale ot
the Sea Shell," "The Pretty City
Widow." and a dosen others. .
-The cast will present Jess Dandy in
the role Of Hans Wagner, a Cincinnati
brewer, who . innocently has princely
honors thrust upon him. Mr. Dandy Is
the Ideal comedian for the part; his per
sonality exhudea humor.
Louise Wlllur, pretty, chjo and grace
ful, will be seen aa the vivacious wldw
and thla character haa never been more
charmingly outlined. Miss Willis scored
decidedly aa the widow in London, Ivar
Anderson and Arthur Donaldson, In the
respective roles of the American lieuten
ant and the genuine prince ,pilsen.
have. been associated with these charac
ters from the beginning. - J. Hayden
Clarendon will be the Lord Shrimpton
and Marie Welsh makes a dainty figure
aa Nellie Wagner, the brewer's daughter.
Marguerite Ferguson will sparkle In the
soubrette part of Bldonle. Petite Pauline
Huntley enacts the hotel bell-boy and
Jamea K. Rome will be the agile Fran
cois. The choruses, the costumes the
stsge equipment, and the ensemble' work
and pictures are fixed at the high stan
dard set and maintained by Henry W.

"The Sho-Cun" Coming; to Marquam.
Artistic in conception and In execu
tion, one of the latest of the Henry W.
Savage' musical attractions . will be
offered, In thla city for four nights and
a Saturday matinee beginning Wednes
day, December 10. when the Korean
comlo opera. "The Sho-Gun." with Its
Wealth of beautiful scenery,-.Its com
plete property Investiture and Its never
ending array of beiutlful acenery and
costumes will be offered. The attrac
tion during ita many months' engage
ments in. New Torkv Boston and Chicago-won
an ore than the average modi
cam of. praise and It will be given here
la theiaame elaborate way.
"The Sho-Gun" la the flrat Joint work
ot Oeorge Ade and Gustav Luders and
It marks a distinct step forward in
Amarlcea -eonrle opera production. Mr.
Ade's "County Chairman", and "College
Widow. among - the" best comedies the
country has ever known, are, examples
of the facility with which thia talented
writer may treat a subject saeVln. his
story" for-"The"" Sho-Oun" he exhibits
tha same facile traits and haa made tha
opera one long to be remembered. . ...
Gustav Ludera haa for several years
been accredited the foremost American
composer. While Mr. Ludera haa gone
In more for . ultra-muelelanlr. effect la
"The Bbo-Oun," he he not Ignored the
popular trend. There 1 are almost a

The caat engaged for the interpreta
tion ot the various parts Is one of un
uffual strength. Including aa It doea
these favorite who were laat sesson la

Cain Brown. William C. Wheedon, M

so pleasant nor so high sounding. One
thing can be safely ur nod, however, this
is a play of far-reaching import In that
it -raises the question mark. Whether
It solves anything or not la different
matter, which some will interpret one
way and othera another. If it merely
eauaea the dlacuaajon upon a vital
theme It haa, however, effected ita pur
pose. -From a technical dramatic stand
point It Is especially Interesting aa a
atudy in the psychology of emotion. In
one light it might be regarded aa the
tragedy of love, for it ia no less a study
of passion than of the more practical
aubjact of divorce. . s for the latter. It
statea the problem In !aa many waya
aa It can and then leaves it to the spec
tator to Judge.- Whether your view Is
the same aa Monsieur Hervleu'e or not
is of llttls consequence, provided that
It evokee soma view. It is distinctly a
play of high order both in workmanship
and Import, a-, product of real literary
value and contrlbutlve force.' And Miaa
Netheraole : deserves credit for having
brought it before the public.
Miss Nethersole's Acting. " V"" f
Miss Nethersole-has Improved in her
acting since - ahe was last seen here.
She has gained In repose and suggestive
power. She still posseaaaa emotional
ism, but she holds It better In band and
uaes It more effectively. Her tendency
to employ it however. Is rather unfor
tunate in places, for the character of
Marianne ia the emotional woven into
the mental and requires the nicest dis
crimination and' elaboration. There
were bits that Miss Nethersole did
which were exquisite. - There were mo
ments when she held the audience spell
bound. . ,
There were still other times when
half the audience waa in tears and the
other half was laughing, which shows
flaw somewhere. One thing that Miss
Nethersole is fighting against is that
the play .has a Gallic coloring with
which the American audience baa little
sympathy and leaa understanding. There
were few in the theatre the other
night who either comprehended the
play or cared anything about it if one
might Judge by comment and conduct--
Mantell as King Lear. ;
For the first time since IS88 "King
Lear" waa produced at the Garden thea
tre last Monday night by Robert Man
tell. It Is not hard to understand why
this play Is iSo seldom presented. It is
a most difficult play to produce, requir
ing an actor of unusual character and
power; and it la not a play that one
wishes to see over ..and over' again. It
ia too full of the terror of compaaslori.
It moves one so deeply and horribly
that It leaves a feeling of unpleasant
ness and sheer misery behind it . There
is nothing more terribly pathetic In' all
literature than the character -of ' this
old king, whose mind you witness break
ing down bit by bit. even aa hrr lofty
state sinks to the pitiful condition of
the poorest peasant For horror . and
pity mixed there was never 'Conceived a
scene to equal that .one of the storm In
"King Lear." ,
, "King-Lear"' belongs to the later pe
riod . of Shakespeare's -. writings, . the
period of "Macbeth' ahd"CorlolB.nus"
and "Tlmon." There la In It a note
almost of pessimism or despair,, as-If
its author" had. undergone some great
misfortune of .grief.-, Even the Fool in
this play ia bitter and melancholy and
the flaa'nea-ef humor and lightness are
few and-seldom. Strangest of all, love.
in its accepted sense of romance, playa
here a small part Even the filial love.
upon which-the whole plot apparently
revolves, becomes In final analysts but
a means to an end. '"King Lear" Is a
tragedy of character. -
Shakespeare Criticised. , -
There waa both an old chronicle play
and Hollnshed's - Chronicles," - from
which Shakespeare probably got - most
of his material, while the Gloucester In
cident was furnished by Sir Philip Sid
ney's "Arcadia:" In building from these
sources, Shakespeare made ' vital
changes of such a nature aa to lift what
