B 8 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. I
H :. . I
If MAY IRWIN.
1 1 The first act of "Mro. Black Is Back," is sel-
j , dom equalled and rarely excelled in anything
B f ; j akin to a farce of this character, but if the ex
m pression's permissible it could be truthfully stated
B I ! that Mr. Hobart shot his wad in that act, which
1 J J is beautifully constructed, and pungent with a de
r j i I licious humor. In fact it is so clever that it leases
K .!'., the audience totally unprepared for the let down
B; ,,.i !T' in the second act, which, but for the presence uf
m ' Miss Irwin, would be very sad indeed.
H ! I J May Irwin with that irresistable voice and
H I ' 1 manner, brought to the surface every sparkle in
H if Hobart's lines, but Mr. Hobart has not given
H ill ' 1 Miss Irwin an opportunity to exhibit the best
Am 'I work of which this rollicking actress is capable.
K I ; May Irwin is the whole show, and every min
H f ' ute she is on the stage her effervescent person
al! ality asserts itself, much to the detriment of many
J I of the other women, who are presentable, ho .
H . I ever, and all of the men, who, with the exception
Bj I I f Mr. Foley as Larkey, were freaks.
K I 1 . j Jane Beerby, who happened to be Mrs. Black's
H I ster, was much above the ordinary with a natur
j I ' al grace that was charming.
flj t j : ' There were some real touches of nature for
H I ' which May Irwin was responsible, that were as
m If rich as anything ever put on the stage, and the
it, laughs she made us would carry any kind of a
1 farce to a successful finish. It would be impos-
ji sible to stage anything keener than the scandal
she tells her neighbors, with her back to the
! i audience. Every word and mannerism was so
' i typical of so many people we all know. And the
1 climax where she whispers "of course, you just
can't believe a thing you hear and I wouldn't
II say a word but (with a knowing gesture and a
j raise of the eyebrows), where there's so mu-:h
I smoke, ahem! there must be somebody smok-
f ing."

THE CYCLE.
By T. G.
The Avon bard who set the stage
For all the world, and gave to man
A different part for every age,
Within the little space we span;
Was wrong, though his intent was good,
The seven ages are but three,
For this the story in a wood
The ghost of Romance told to me.
He said: "When fir3t I met you here,
You passed me by in rush of youth;
I let you go, and did not fear
But you'd return to seek the truth.
That irresponsive chord, I styled
The boy-heart, was not yet mature
So free, ungovernable, wild
I had to bide my time to lure.
Again you came, but not alone,
A woman stood here by your side.
I knew that you were both my own
Rejoicing in your love and pride.
But not for long, for you returned,
The lilt had left, and in your heart
The scar the fickle love god burned.
That, and the mem'ry of the smart."
The turquoise sky is just as blue,
The water purls its ceaseless song,
The bob-white's trill is sweet and true,
The woodland whispers all belong
To these primeval symphonies:
Weak, man-made music, they outlast
And nature's charm calls through the trees,
But gone the Romance of the past.

Wilton Lackeye will probably be one of the I
early attractions at the Salt Lake theater. He I
opened his season at Duluth on Aug. 11th, and I
will travel west. He is appearing in the dramati- 1
zation of the Norris story, "The Pit," a revival of I
"Trilby," and Ibsen's "Pillars of Society." I
Clyde Fitch was recently discussing French
wit. "The wit of France," he said, "won't bear I
transplanting. We shouldn't like it here. It is too
subtle, too unexpected, too delicate and, above
all, too wicked.
"I heard yesterday a French witticism that
exemplified well the Gallic qualities of subtlety,
delicacy and wickedness.
"Two clubmen meet, and the first says:
" 'What is the matter Charles? You look blue.
Has your wife caught you kissing that pretty
governess of yours?'
"Charles groaned.
"'Worse than that,' he replied. 'The pretty
governess caught me kissing my wife.' "
Three women may a secret keep
If, as it has been said,
There's one of the lot has heard it not
And the other two are dead.

phenominal success to the fact that we have no
branch or connection with any so-called engrav
