The .Mrinarls of String Anthony. By Maurice Masterlhick. (Methuen and

Co. as. 6d, net.)--Readers of M. Maeterlinck's works knew already that the mystics could turn jester when he chose, though he used his satiric humour sparingly. AL Maeterlinck is "wholly jester in his new play, an amusing fantastic comedy in modern setting, showing the embarrassments that may arise frem -the unexpected visits of saints with a predilection for working miracles, whether desired or not. The play is distinguished by the author's accustomed skill in construction and characterization.
