Faust by Stephen Phillips and J. Comyns Carr
Faust by Stephen Phillips and J. Comyns Carr. First produced at His Majesty's Theatre, London on 5th September 1908. "Mr Tree as Mephistopheles. Mr Henry Ainley as Faust." The image used on the programme cover. There can be little doubt why the celebrated actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who saw himself as Irving's successor, wanted to play the part. Wills version was probably considered no longer stage-worthy
