THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL.

Juliet is character out of her range She can not ook
the character and beyond that mpossbity we need
no farther Her delivery was for tho greater part not
only correct but exceedingly spirited yet all marred
by the visible contradiction to the text that her appear
ance gave In the last scene, when Juliet dying
herself to the side of Romeo Miss Logan resembled
an overgrown Dutch baby than sentimental damsel who
had killed herself for love- We might also add that the
scene wherein she is informed of Romos death was
correctly given, but fell far short of what would have
been natural rendering under such circumstances 1t
the passion Of child deprived Of dinner rather than
a woman mourning the death of her lover.

effort toward the sublime out OF question, he played
well but when he sought to touch the stars with so-
quence he entirely failed
Mr. Maddeck's Frfdr Laurence simply and purely
abominable 1t was something akin to the Harc-

compare it.

spirits of light just dropped from the skies The first
idea OF the uninated spectator is that their garments
are most deporably short, but his objections vanshe
under the reflection that this may be way they have I'D
