Jul.et" VITA cast 20 excel, ut as 20 make It worthy
OF poid Of especi,l notice. The oh Uacters were
.rbued a. follows: Romeo Madame Ponisi; Juliet,
Lizzie Weston Dayerpot; The Nurse, Mrs. Blake;
MercUtio, A. Ii Davenport; and the minor parts were
40 well filed by the other persons Of the Taeater that
the of the loves and es of the Cap
uets sid Montague. suffered no untlmely maulog at
the hands Of the Lesser lights of the company Madame
Po1i.s Rene Is performance which is creditabie,
though Lot remarkably striking. The mannerislns
which are sometimes Noticeable in her efforts mag
lifted wb. she puts off her frGinity and assumes
f-r possible, the olocutiouary Characteristics OF the
other {, male Romeo is at the best, an I'M
uner.t. ul e. mpanion TO 'ymp-ihetic Johet.
The feature of the pl ia decoedy tie juliet of Mr..

most pleasing degree the requisites Of fine face aud

LET clo-cly and her readings u the text are care
hpv correct and she is never deficient 10 fire and
animation Indeed the earlier scenes of the second
ect will bear tanning down little for therein she dis
pAys that tendency to dtcidm the dialogue, which Is
amos. always noticeable 10 young Juiets. The beau
tiiu language of the part ia great temptation to this
error; aud i is undoubtedly difficult sometimes to
r, lat the inducement Ct producing an ora'oncii
effect even at the expense Of nsurnloess. But, to
come a. the truthfuness of the matter the low and
gerte tones of the voice decidedly more approprl'
ale 10 oyeis conversations than apy elaborate decla-
nation. ASIDE from ttis one bem,h the Ju!et OF
Mrs Davenport is 4 good performance, and one that
gives proof Of talents which, by cultivation aud e1pe'
renee will develop every day new excelences.
MR. Blake as the nurte chsractriStcaly ex'

Mr. A. II. Davenport who played Aercuto iT the
frat time had aught the true spirit OF the part Du'
was too buried boisterous and demonstratIye. Ihe
delicate b, auties Of the language which 'rcuho ofteh
