insinuating villain that Shakespeare made
him. Played last night at the Academy,
one had the best opportunity to realize the
deadly einuosity Of this artful and design
ing scoUndrel, whose agreeable humors are
tor that reason the more dangerous, and
whose plotting soul caught the open and
generous Moor in it's tolls and egged him on
TO his destruction. He was gentleman of
that day, polite to ladies, sociable in COM
pany, clever to his associates, with honesty
on his tongne and murder on his dagger:
with no dealing not double, and no design
but to carry out his own base purposes.
The great author never created a villain
without some element in his composition to
evoke a sympathy, but this sentiment is a
horror in Iugo'S constitution, for who can
feel for d man that, in comprising his re-
Tengeo must needs overwhelm in anguish,
then sorrow, and thea a murderous death,
the true, the beautiful, the innocent and
good?
lie is nearer the modern than any other
of the standard dramatic Villains. lie was
not represented as heavy-booted rufian,
such as the run of actors hold him up for;
he did not carry "his heart tupon his sleeve
nor did he show the devil in him, and such
picture would be untrue to the character.
You see before you soft and gentle man,
with winning grace and elegance at every
step, apparently a faithful servant and,
therefore, to be trusted as master or a
friend, and winning easily the confidence of
his dupe, borrowing the livery of heaven
to serve the devil in" That such man
should not be respected by his victims is
natural, and gives rise to no wonder. That
he succeeded in his plans is to be regretted
for no one ever yet set out the play who
could not find wish in his heart that il
had ended otherwise and had vice punished
virtue rewarded.
Desdemona, played by Miss Hawthorne
shone the modest, loving woman, even in
her death faithful to her honored lord. II
was beyond the powers Of Mr.. Hill to play

allotted lines and showed study if it did not

on his guard than any other man, and those
characters "'loose of soul" as he is described
to be. have no business to be walking about
in the tx that young bachelors are on the
outside OF church steps waiting fol
the service to be ended. BIUbnatio was
good old father, who gave up his daughter
with greae deal too much satisfaction
and who looked as if he had got lid of

lateo Amelia was not the fierce termagant
Iago makes her out, but, on the contrary
seemed to have mortal terror Of her lord
and to have had more Of DesdemOnO than
of the shrew. As for -AntO11iO, GrGtiG,lO and
Ludoujco, they would scarcely be noticed
had they not come in the way OF the others
The tragedy was well put on the boards
tasteful as 70 costume and smooth IN its
changes. This part showed care and a
hearty desire to play Shakespeare. Iogo is
the pivot. lie is q spider, and all the other
characters are his flies, and 3[r. Mayo
