Children in !Shakspeare's Characters! The rea-
der will observe that the Batemsns are advenis.
ed to perform various parts Of Shakspeares plays.
And who are "ihe Batemans"? Children
young children; yet praciised theatrical critics
in New York, Boston, and elsewhere, declare
that in truth to nature, in taste and skill, these
children are no, excelled even by full grown
men and women who pass for " distinguished ac-
tors" For instance, the New York Courier and
Enquirer used this language:
We make no allowances for years, sex and in
expenerce-we assert positively that we know
several " very distinguished" actors who can
not to save their lives, play Shylock, nor Rich.
ard, nor little Pickle, nor Bombsstes, nor Artax-
onines, so well as the Misses Bateman. The
wonderful talent of these children is partially
accounted for from the fact that their mother is
the daughter of Joe Cowell, one Of the first
comedians in the world, and that their father is
himself an experienced acior. They have thrown
our theatre going public into paroxysm OF de-
light
