OrHELLo-Decidedly the best Tepres :ta-
tion thus far, OF the ShaEespearian season, was
the tragedy OF Othello, as produced last night ut
the Academy OF Music. Every part Of the house
was filed and the frequent applause which inter.
rupted the acting showed that the at aienee ap-
prcciated Its general excellence. Mr.. Warner,
we think, appeared to greater advantage as the
Moor, than in any part which lie had previously
sustained since his arrival In Charleston. The
dignity tenderness and jealous fury Of Othello
were admirably portrayed; and although still
suffering somewhat from the hoarseness ap-
parent on Saturday evening, MIR. Warner played
the part throughout with excellent judgment
and efrect.
special tribute Is due to Miss EldrIdge, the
Desdemona Of the evening, for the admirable
manner In which she personated that important
and difficult character. 1t was generally admit
ted by all who were present to have been much
the most complete triumph yet achieved by this
fair young actress. Indeed, there was hardly
blemlsh to be noticed in her acting throughout the
play. unless, perhaps, in the chamber scene, In
which, in place OF the agonized terror natural to
a woman at the violent death to which she found
herself doomed at the hands Of Othello, she SUBJ
stltuted what seemed to US rather mild remon-
STRANGE.
Mr. PannIn, who appeared for the drst time on
our boards as Iago, is evidently practiced and
clever actor, and will prove most important &C
cesson to the strength Of the company. His con-
ceptlou ofIago, though differing widely in some
respects from the commonly received idea OF the
part, was consistent and well acted from begin
ming to end. The minor parts were all filled in
creditable manner.
The bills for tonight promise US the grand
Roman tragedy OF "rirginius, the Roman
Father"
