MR. GRIFFITH'S "FAUST."
John Griffith presented "Faust" for
the eighth or ninth time in this city
Thursday night at the Lansing. Special
interest attached to the performance,
however, by reason of the fact that Mr.
Griffith's "Mephfeto" was relieved by a
new "Martha," a new "Marguerite" and
a nnw "Faust. We have become so ac
customed to electrical extravagances
troops of little red devils and much red
fire in modern popular interpretations
of "Faust' that we will pass this fea
ture of Mr. Griffith's presentation by
without comment other than the re
mark that a fair regard for the proprie
ties would preclude the use of fllowers
that bloom by electricity.
Mr. Griffith's "Mephisto" is not the
"Mephisto' he gave ub three years ago.
Each year he has taken on more cun
ning, more of the sinister; and we may
add, has toned down some of the more
vociferous qualities of his interpreta
tion. His up-to-date "Mephfeto" is a
subtle fiend, with a marked inclination
for diabolical jests. Mr. Griffith suc
ceeds in making the character hideously
sinuous and facile. He is repulsive, and
yet he attracts and holds the attention.
If there is anything devilish and de
moniac in Goethe's great character that
Mr. Griffith has not found and does not
portray, we are not aware of it; and he
has added a few extra touches of his
own. Mr. Griffith has improved.
Anna Boyle is a trifle too mincing in
some of the earlier scenes, but she
makes on the whole the most accepta
ble "Marguerite" Mr. Griffith has yet
given us. The new "Martha" is well
done.
' Griffith's "Faust" is well put on, skill
fully acted, and this season starts on
the road more evenly balanced than
ever before. Mr. Griffith was billed to
play "Richard III." last night.
