They are Milton N'oblea In "The Phoenix." Jamea O'Vell In "The Count of Monte Crlato," and Lewie Mnnieon In "Eauet." Year after year theee actora paid Salt Lake a vie It and alwaya to food bualneaa played the aame pieces. Morrison has been' dead for several years, one of his last public appearance helne; In this city In hie favorite role of Mephlato. It may sound like a far cry from Lewis Morrison, who played the fart for over 2H) times, to Jamea Dur-ln. Dur-ln. leading man at the Oarrlck theatre, and to many It may sound foolish to say that a stock company could properly rlv this play with Its demand for scenery and careful acting on at teaat four or five of thf leading characters. The try. however. how-ever. Is njt nearly so far aa some might imagine. Thla was thoroughly demonstrated demon-strated before a large audience at the Oarrlt-k last night when the stock company com-pany presented "Faust. opening Its for-tleth for-tleth sad last week of a aucceasfulen- By all means, first credit Is due to Mr. Durkln for his clever delineation of a role an different from anything that he has so far essayed in thla city that some of the regular patrons had to look at the program pro-gram two or three time to assure themselves them-selves that It was really their favorite. It Is evident that at aome time Mr. Durkln witnessed a performance of the famous play with Morrison aa the devil, and that he carefully studied the Morrison Morri-son methods, for at times he la so near like Morrison, except in wlce. that one would wonder If It was ftnt the famous old actor appearing tn his favorite role. It la also evident that the derrick la usi njr art least a part of the Morn son script, for there are from time to time thoee little interpolations which It is known Morrison made to adapt the play to more modern time. One thing was voted by the audience last rtlght: Mr. Durkln haa done few if any parts better slnc his opening engagement In this city. Mr. HerhMn in the title role was rather a disappointment for the first two acts, but he fully redeemed himself before the end. of the play. Mr. Peymour as Valentin Valen-tin was all that could have been asked for, putting vim and Are Into the part which, though small, made It stand out prominently. The remaining male mem-hem mem-hem of the cast were good. 9!lss Fraly made a sweet and winsome M:rgur!f. though the part does not fit her. or she rioenn't act the part so well as some characters In which ahe has ap-r ap-r eared In this city. Mrs. Htanley was an Meal Martha, while the remaining feminine femi-nine parts were In capable hands. "Fauet" la a play that calls for much Mrenery. In fact. It is by far the moat elaborate scenic production that the Gar-rlt-k has yet attempted, and justice demand de-mand the statement that every detail .wa met in a way to bring forth the moat favorable commenta of those who wit-nepeed wit-nepeed the performance last night. The orcheatra Is also entitled to no little credit for the delightful raualu furnished during the intermissions. "Faust" will run for the week, with the usual Thursday and Saturday ' matinees and a npecial matinee tomorrow afternoon. after-noon. With the performance next Saturday Satur-day niglt the stock season at the Gar-rick Gar-rick will close and the house will remain l dark until next September. W. J. 8.
