THE NEW YORK FRIDAY. JUNE 7, 190L DRiHAIIG ART IN LOHDOH Mrs. Patrick; Campbell, In a Play Jy Echegaray. Mariana in an English Drat Forbes Robertson In Tha Sacrament rv of Judas." 1 LONDON. May 2a The Impression of original talent one derives from the acting cf Mrs.

In default of a better play, Mra I Campbell has done well enough 'to put 'A translation of Mariana tn her bill.

That Is to say, she might have chosen worse Mariana. is no Master-, work, and with the memory, still fresh of his "El Gran Galeoto" in three perform- ances one German and very good. the others English and reasonably bad which I saw In New York.

than "Mariana." which, with all Jta patience, is scarcely above the level of the late Adolphe Belot as' an Imitation of Ufa. Moreover, It is chock full of the most audacious padding. Irs characters, excepting" Mariana, are the merest puppets. The aged fool of scientific husband, his light-headed wife, her. ambling, guitar-strumming lover; the fiery soldier, whb is merely a man of conventional Vords, his purely explanatory sister.

and the, 'heroine's expostulating guardian have alt the defects Maeterlinck finds in Racine's personages. They surely inhabit an atmos-phereleas planet, and they, ceaseV to apeak they cease to live. In the circumstances one cannot' be harsh tn criticism of Mrs. Campbell's If. for, Instance, Mr.

Arllsa, who safl positively excellent Plnero'a wise but haughty old Duke. Is -a-purely conventional figure as the old antiquary the fault may be placed to the account of 1 Echegaray.

As for George Titheradge. his of the fiery. Impetuous but grossly.

Incompetent lover of Mariana Is not so bad aa his acting of He has not the features or the grace of motion, the voice or thef ervor required in the embodiment of that almost typical hero ef Spanish romance. Titheradge is doubtless an admirable comedian. Like most of his contemporaries in the upper ranks of the London stage," he is. essen tially. ar character actor, with fine talent for He does very 'well as the sublimated forget his name) in Maeterllnck'a dream-like version of the Old-World tale of Francese and Jher lover, called Pel leas and Melisande but the Impassioned heroics of Daniel Montoya are too much tor Wherefore, perhaps, the spirit, grace, paeslon, and charm of Mrs.

Campbell's portrayal of Mariana seenf ail the more potent. While temperament and personal charm count for much In the work of this actress; she is a much- finer technically speaking, than her contemporaries seen) willing to admit. Her Mariana la an entirely different woman from her oratorical, MrtC Ebbsmlth or her pale, dreamlike Melisande; Echegaray'a heroine is the young widow of a mariage blanc. Her mother was the vlcf tlm of an unhappy "marriage, and threw away her life under the Influence of. a "Lo, tharto.

and one of the many Ill-assorted ob Jects of Mariana's existence Is to avenge her mother's wrongs. She Is wealthy and lovely, and she tries to make life miserable for the men who adore her. But she feels she is falling In love with young Daniel, who ia a friend of her guar dtan, and attempts to control her passion; This seeming. Impossible, after a' while, eho betroths herself to Daniel. But just on the ve of their marriage she learns that he Is the son of the man who betrayed her mother.

Wherefore she Jilts him and weds a bloodthirsty soldier. On her wedding night Daniel appears at the window of her boudoir. She admits him. tells him she has always loyed him. then eummona tha soldier bridegroom, who." finding her Daniel, shoots her dealt.

-Not much that Is rational or poetical or highly imaginative la In thla personified summery of ancient theatrical devices, but there la plenty In the role, nevertheless, to tet the technical skill and resource of an actress. Mrs. Campbell lends deep Interest te every mood ef Mariana. There are one or two episodes in which her acting 'seems to me te nearly approach She la lovely to look at, too. In every scene, and herVosturoes are not only tkey, are also tasteful and beautiful.

SheThaa eleven feet of water In her forehold and la likely to prove a total wreck. When the ateamer struck the rocks the crew scrambled for the lifeboats. The offi- cers were Only the proximity of on the port aide, forming- a partial shelter, prevented a greater catastrophe.

The had a most wretched experience In tlwe boats Muring the night They were not aware of their position and there waa danger that the ship's collapsing boats would be swamped. The Assyrian- waa running at full speed through the fog when she struck Cape Race and she now lies an almost hopeless hulk on the coast. For three days Captain Dingle had beei navigating by the log, and he had calculated upon a course rounding Cape Race thirty miles south of land. Thla plan, however, was frustrated by northerly currents, i -Ko fishing boats operate off Cape' Race owing to the danger of being run down by such vessels. Consequently Captain Dingle had no warning.

The Assyrian struck at 11:40 last night. Land had been sighted only a minute The fog' waa dense and there was no time to reduce speed. The ahlp struck with a sidelong blow. An- otner. live nunarea yaras sou beast would have carried her clear of all obstructions.

She struck the face of the cliff and was forced upon the outlying rocks. The impact tore out the bottom of the two forward holds. She heeled over to the starboard when her aide glanced against the cliff. The crew at first were panicstricken. but I after a time comparative calm was restored, I rt all orecautlona were taken tn and all precautions were taken to secure the safety of all on board.

When the extent of her Injuries waa disclosed. It waa seen that the ship waa badly damaged, but would outlast any exceot a se vere storm. Some of the crew feared that the rear part of the ship would break off and that the hull would go to pieces, but no mishap occurred. The arrival of daylight enabled Captain Dingle to land the mate. who climbed the cliffs, proceeded to Cape Race station, and telegraphed the news of thn disaster.

At a late hour to-night it la not known what steDa will be necessary to refloat the Assyrian, should that be possible. Three steamers, including tne Oegerln and Virgin Lake, and three divers, are now on thn way to the wreck, ready to begin operations tomorrow morning.
