THEY ENDORSE "FAUST."
Butte, Helena and Anaconda Much Pleased
with Morrison.
Lewis Morrison presents "Faust" at
the Billings opera house tomorrow
evening and the fact that 'he has de
lighted large audiences at Butte, Hel
ena and Anaconda should inquie him a
crowded house in Billings. Read what
the western Montana papers say of the
production.
Butte Inter Mountain: Lewis Mor
rison last night packed the Grand opera
house to the doors and well he deserved
the splendid reception accorded him.
He is the only "Mephisto" in the eyes
of theater-goers. He has had many
imitators. but they remain imitators;
they are never equals. He seems the
incarnation of his satanic majesty;
pre eminently fitted by nature to play
the role he has for so many years. It
will be hard to accept him in any other
role, but this is his last tour in
"Faust." Next year he appears in a
new play, "Frederick the Great," a
play founded on incidents in the life of
the German emperor. Mr. Morrison
carries his usual effective company.
Helena Independent: Lewis Morri
son gave a characteristic presentation
of "Faust" at Ming's opera house last
night to a large, though only fairly ap
preciative, audience. Mr. Morrison, in
the leading role, was the Morrison of
other days, and his interpretation of
the diabolical character of "Mephisto,"
his original creation, was forcible and
artistic. The inferno of Mr. "'Morrison
was all that it was cracked up to be,
and as a moral lesson might be. recom
mended..
Anaconda Standard: To Lewis Mor
rison the theater-going public is in
debted for an interpretation of Goethe's
mystical' and immortal drama,
"Faust," that is as clear and limpid as
a running stream of water. From every
view point last night's performance at
the Margaret theater was a masterpiece
-long to be cherished in the memory
as an artistic triumph. The audience
was magnificent in point of size and
throughout keenly appreciative. Mr.
Morrison and his associates apparently
were at the very best. The mountings
and accessories were perfect.
( iPES THE ITALIAN'S MONEY.
Ross, the Night Bartender at Savaresy's,
Goes Out for a Time.
Frank Savaresy, the Italian saloon
keeper, has sworn out a warrant for the
arrest of his night bartender, Frank
Ross, who last night made himself con
spicuous by his absence, at the same
time taking $45.50 with him, belong
ing to his employer and which had
been left in the money drawer. The
bartender decided to have a rip-roaring
time and left the saloon at 3 o'clock
this morning, leaving the same in
charge of a lounger, a Swede. Ross
took with him every cent belonging to
the Italian and that proved too mush
for the man from sunny Italy. Up to
the time of going to press neither the
bartender nor Savaresy's filthy lucre
had been located.
