This week Lewis Morrison and his company will hold the boards at the Grand opera house, presenting a dramatic version of Goethe's "Faust. " In the part of "Mephisto," Morrison has found one that is well suited to his talents and physique, and one that has led him on to both fame and fortune. He is probably one of the best "Mephistos" who has ever attempted this difficult role, being as he is a superb elocutionist and a master of gesture. While Morrison is a superb actor, and one fully capable of carrying a performance through by his own personality and magnetism, he does not rely alone upon his own art in the present production. Beautiful and appropriate scenery has been supplied in profusión by the most capable of scène artists, calcium lights innumerable are eraployed, and gorgeous and startling electrical effects are introduced to enhance the beauty of this masterly nroduction. While this production is wholly a dramatic one, considerable vocal music is introduced, and a number of very good singers are employed for this purpose, including a male quartette. A large organ will be placed on the stage, in order that the scène representing the church can be properly given. A prominent organist has been engaged to play it during the engagement. At Grand opera house, Dec. 27.
