FOR
OUNCILIN
T
There is no doubt Hint Margaret
lllmgloii is n great emotional act
ress, as was evidenced Inst night li
the thoroughly pleased audience that
left the 1'nge. Her supporting eom-
ipuny is unusually goon, inn in in
terviewing some of the people, who at
tended, it frcems to be the general
opinion thnt "The Lie" is not quite
up to the mark set by "Within the
Law." To one who nnalvr.es the
drama from the builder's standpoint,
the reason for this is obvious.
The author, Henry Arthur Jones,
seems to have conceived the main sit
uation of his piny mid became so
thoroughly engiossed by it that he, in
a measure, forgot the details. With
very few exceptions, all great plays
have a counterplot, the minor theme
being brought to the forefront to in
terest the audience while the mnin
motive is being developed. "The Lie"
has no counterplot. A feeble el fort,
perhaps, was njnde at showing Die
poverty of Sir lloheit Shale, but in
the main the n el ion lagged until flic
beginning of thefouith act. From
that time on, the ilrauii was very
strong.
Actors have their troubles, chief
'among which is procuring a vehicle
I thnt will display their pattieular abil
ities, and we can well understand how
'difficult it is for Miss lllington to
procure n driimii that will display her
emotional ability, and yet steer clear
of the hackneyed melodrama plot.
However, the audience was thoiough
ly pleased, nnd so the mission of the
jpluy of eiiterlniuiug was fullilled,
The old gunrdiaii mid critic in "Lalla
I liookh," who severely criticised the
story told by the prince incognito, be
I cause he failed to see how a tear or
a sigh could be consistently conveyed
i to the Gates of Paradise by the Peri,
overstcpped the bounds of legitimate
I criticism. The tale of the prince
pleased Lalla Kookh. Miss lllington
! pleased Medfoid, and so we do not
wish to assume the role of the old
Persian critic.
Tonight, however, we tire to see
both u play and mi actor that hnve
stood the test not only of the wolld's
critics, but of the public, which is,
after all, the court of final appeal.
Forbes Itobeitson has stood the test
of time ,and stands m t as the world's
