In preparing Peer Gynt for the stnue Mr.
M insfield hns gone to uniistml puins. It
was a most remarkable undertaking nt the
outset. For more than thirty years tho
great poem, for It was nsilly more of a
poem than a drama, had lain untouched by
the English-speaking actors becnuse It was
said to be Impossible for our stage. It had
been (riven in Norway and In Oerminy
with some success, more, however, as an
artistic venture thnn for the purpose of ex
ploiting its dramatic merit. In his restless
energy, Imbued with the desire to do (111
that can lie done for the American siane
durlnn the short time he has allotted to
himself for active woik, Mr. M inslield de
termined to produce Peer Gynt and h.is
succeeded beyond even his own expecta
tions. The popm has necessarily been reduced to
acting length, but no liberties have been
taken with tho text or with the seipienco
of events. The deux es machina la not so
apparent In the play as In the poem, but
the gaps left require very little Imagina
tive effort to supply the connection between
the Incidents. Th continuity of thoiifiht Is
not Interrupted and the meaning Is so thor
oughly Illuminated as to leave no one un
certain as to Its exact application. In
achieving this result Mr. Mansfield has laid
his fellow countrymen under even greater
debt of obligation than Appears on the sur
face. At a time like this, when we are all
so busily engngotl In the pursuit of the ma
terial things of life, when round about us

"Peer Gynt" comes like the voice of ono
crying In the wilderness. It Is a most
timely production, for II should have the
direct effect of turning thought toward Ni
ter and im. re uplifting matters than nu re
material success.
Not th least Important feature of the
production Is the muslo written for the
poetn by 1-aI ward OrelR, friend of the au
thor. "The Peer Gynt Suite" has been
made somewhat familiar by orchestras dur
ing the time since It was written, but Its
beauties are nei r so apparent as when It
Is heard under the spell of the dramatic
Interpretation of the poem. The weirdly
suggestive strains and bewildering ca
dences of the score then become living
things, and add their Insistent lmpresslve
ness to the effect of the drama and aid In
bearing home with all l.s forea the lesson
of the allegory. Mr. Matisiield has pro
vided most u prupriately for tho Inteipre
tatlon of the Grelg music, and has :ilso
fitted the piece with scenery of the sort
that gives to each picture Its Individual
character. The play Is given In two parts,
acts I, II and Hi constituting the first part,
and acts Iv and v miking up the second
pal t. Tin 1 1 y years Is su iiscd to elapse
between the two parts. In making his
translation Mr. ManslWld has preserved
Ibsen's meter, but has suppressed the

At the Boyd on Sunday and Monday
evenings "Tho Maid and the Mummy,'' one
of lUchurd Curie's be.it uoil.s, will be pre
sented. This Is oae of those queer combina
tions of good fun, pretty girls, sweet ano
catchy n icilc, entrancing dances and pic
tures of color and form that captivate the
senses. The book Is by Kit-hard Carle, and
Is In his best vein, while the music Is fur
nished by Robert Hood Bowers. Fred
Warner heads Uie funnuikers uf the com
pany, and Miss Otis Spencer, a woman jf
great personal charms and a wonderful
singing voice, heads the beauty show.
On Tuesday evemiig Mr. Mansfield will
tv seen at the Boyd In his massive produc
tion of "Peer Gynt," and on Wednesday
evening he will present his delightful com
edy of "Beau Brummel." The engagement
is for the two performances only.
At the Burwood theater this afternoon the
Woodward Stock company will offer
"Northern Lights," a comedy drama, tell
ing a story of lifo at a frontier fort In
June, 1876. Just before the great Custer mas
sacre. Mr. Morrison will be seen as John
Swlftwlnd, an educated Indian, who Is em
ployed oo assistant surgeon at the army
post. Miss Elliott will have the role ol
Mrs. Sherwood, wife of the iost surgeon,
while the others In tho company are will
placed in the cast. The denoument of the
play does not coin until the very closing
scine of the last act, which is one of great
strength and realism. The stage settings
are very elaborate, and Mr. Ixing, director
of the company, has prepared a most ap
propriate Investiture. "Northern Ughts"
will be presented each evening during the
week and at the usual matinees.
George Ade's triumphant musical mtlre,
"The Sultan of Sulu," will occupy the
stag.? of the Krug theater for two nights,
commencing with a matinee today. "The
Sultan of Sulu" occupies a Held peculiarly
Its own, for the pictorial features that
cover the weakness of many so-called lyric
entertainments are tastefully subordinated
and the gist of the play Is offered In a
well written, clearly conceived and whim
sical comedy, embellished with a tuneful
and popular score, dlgnilK-d In treatment,
yet so melodious it catches nt once the
receptive ear of tho music loving public.
The company numbers sixty people and is
said to be the best ever engaged to In
terpret the opera.
