MIR. FORREST AS HAMLET

Mr.. Forrest opens tonight at the Ma
tional Theatre in a character which few
Of the citizens and sojourners in Wash.
mgton have seen him personate. Ham.
let is one of those parts in which the
enemies OF MIR. Forrest deny his supe-
r,orlty. 1t is only within a year or two
that he has frequently appeared in it.
We remember well the sensation excited
in New YorN, when for the first time, in
long period, he enacted it at the Broad
way Theatre. He made new feature of
it, rendering the language of the illus
trious author with exquisite taste and
novelty, and bringing out in strong and
striking light the great points of the
whole play. He was compelled, in con-
sequence, to appear in "Hamlet" for a
number of nights. Hamlet is a rare and
philosophical composition. However such
pedants as D Israeli may allege that many
crude things have been charged to Shaks-
peare, and not only charged to, but per-
petrated by him, Hamlet is not one of
them. "It is one entire and perfect
chrysolite. Polonious is a mirror for
courtiers, statesmen and men of the
world; while the grave-digger, the queen,
the wronged Ophelia, the Infamous La
cries, the guilty king, the "honest ghost, -
not forgetting the "poor players" are
each and all pictures for the painter and
themes for the poet and the moralist.
Hamlet, himself, so long puzzle to COM
mentators, is well calculated to display
the grand and versatile powers of the
great poet; and in the hands of Forrest,
will become enchanting to the educated
as we'll as to the uneducated spectator, as
the great painting Of Michael Angelo is to
those who see it for the first time.
