LILIAN GERVAIS . Well , for a good wholesome bit of morality commend me to a Frenchman ! He lcnows the very trick of it . He has the healthiest sympathies with what is upright , noble , strong ; and he has no misgivings . Marie Simon , the drame which delighted Paris last autumn , ( translated by Mr . Morris Barnet , and produced at the Olympic , under the title of Lilian Gervais , ) is truly a " dainty dish to set before the moralist ; " it cannot have the pretension of being " set before the critic "—he would make sad havoc with it . Lend me your moral ears awhile , and I will recount the motivi of this drame . Lilian is as pretty and virtuous as a dramatic peasant is obliged to be , and , of course , her father is on the eve of ruin . If there were no intolerable bores of fathers always on the eve of ruin , what would dramatists do P You at once divine that there is a young gentleman ready enough to step forward , and save the said father . And , although this young gentleman wears the uniform of a common soldier , you never for an instant doubt that he is a nobleman in disguise . Latet anguis I Lilian and Adolphe love each other . But it soon appears that the gay young Adolphe ' s intentions are " strictly ^ honourable , " and a moralizing lawyer , M . Bomard , after upbraiding him , threatens , unless he consent to give up his infamous design , to inform the girl ' s father . Bomard rides the high horse with considerable powers of moral equitation , until Adolphe asks him if he never felt the passion of love ; whereat the lawyer is , according to a stage direction , " embarrassed ; " and , although Adolphe only knows that Bomard loves somebody , yet this moral Bomard descends from his high horse , and consents to be silent , to " save the honour of a lady . " It no longer seems necessary to save the honour of poor Lilian ! Lilian , however , has overheard enough of their conversation to understand Adolphe ' s intentions , and she flies to the Chateau de Henneville , ( pertinaciously pronounced Skat-to de Ranville , ) where she is taken into the Marquis ' s service ; the late Marchioness was her godmother . Adolphe soon appears there ; he is the son of the Marquis . And here occurs a love-scene , not by any means unprecedented on the stage , but totally unlike anything I ever heard of in real life ^ By the way , how is it that love-scenes are always so monstrously unlike life ? How is it that the accomplished roue , whom " no woman can resist , " according to his own and other persons testimony , always endeavours to capture a heart by means that would ensure a box on the ears , or a loud shout for " police ! " Why do young gentlemen of an engaging turn of mind always lock the doors , and raise their voices , as if they were going to take by violence the heart they are endeavouring to persuade ? Is violence the coquetry of passion ? I never found it so . It is true Maria threw the Milk Jug at my fond head , ( as I once narrated , ) but I always interpreted that amenity as temper , not love . It is true , also , that your Australian
autocthones (" not to put too fine a point on it , " ) begin courtship by stunning the objects of their affection . That plan , however is scarcely admissible within the regions of sentiment . And I have stdl to learn why stage lovers are so Australian . But let that pass . Adolphe locks the doors , and Lilian , of course , throws herself on her knees ; finding that dramatic position ineffective , she draws from her pocket a book—it was his mother ' s , —and the sight of it cools the fiery torment of his brain at once , condensing all his steam to ice ! He becomes sentimental , repentant , virtuous . "My mother ! " . . , How fond . the French are of those bits of sentiment ! Precisely because a Frenchman is the last man in the world to be stopped m his profligacy by any such talisman , the dramatist employs it , certain oi its success Ma mere ! At the thought of " her who taught his infant steps to
walk , " cambric is in immediate requisition ! ,,, ,- i Lilian escapes this peril only to fall into another . The old Marquis has married again , and his young wife loves " clandecently" the moral lawyer whom we made acquaintance with in the first act . They are botn extremely virtuous people , but they nevertheless plan an elopement . _ Uie Marquis discovers it . You imagine , perhaps , that he storms , shoots . Bomard , or turns Madame out of doors . Not at all . The Marquis spit vivre , in other words , he determines to die . To " save his wife s name from infamy , " this excellent old gentleman quietly poisons himself in the garden . C'est d ' un bon mari ! Only a " model husband could have such consideration for the feelings of his wife . I think I could name a few families where that example , if foUowed , would meet with decided approbation . But , in general , husbands have " so little ^ feeling —they prefer living cest on ne pent lus bourgeoismais enfin c'est comme $ a ! .
; p , The guilty pair stumble over the corpse , and Lilian is accused of the murder ; accused , moreover , with the harshest violence by Adolphe , who vows he will bring her to justice : one might demur to the lover s want of belief in , or , at least , sorrow for Lilian , but a young gentleman so devoted to the memory of his mother , cannot be expected to take the murder of his father quietly . How Lilian is tried , condemned , and finally acquitted , I leave you to learn at the theatre , if you are curious . For , absurd and inartistic as Lilian Gervais is , there is a certain dramatic progression , and a few strong situations , which carried the piece triumphantly through , amid loud applause . Much of this was due to the acting of the young debutante , Miss Anderton , who , though still very young , is a " decided acquisition to the London boards , " ( I believe that is the correct phrase . ) Miss Anderton has some defects which time and study will remove ,
—defects especially of pronunciation , which , at times , is stagey , and at times provincial ; but she has three primary requisites , —intelligence , feeling , and naturalness . In the passages of emotion she was quite successful ; in the earlier and in the quieter scenes , she was less mistress of her means , although something of this was doubtless attributable to nervousness . Compton raised abundant mirth , but it was by burlesque , not by acting . It is true he had the meagrest of " low comedy" jokes to utter . The wittiest passage was—his letting the crockery fall ; not a novel joke , but always a safe one ! Vivian .
