JULIUS CESAR AT OUR THEATER.-In the
midst of so much that is trivial, fiat stale and
improbable in the way Of dramatic representa-
ton, it is refreshing to look forward to the pre-
sentation of one of Shakespeare's loftiest and
most finished dramatic works at the Worcester
theater tonight by actors of more than ordinary
merit. Lawrence Barrett who is TO interpret
the character of "Cassus," has been heard by
some of our lovers of the drama in that deeply
interesting play, "The Man O. Airlie," the chief
part of which he acted with truth, naturalness,
and depth Of feeling regulated by the incest
tact and manifested with extraordinary power
and genius. Mr.. Barrett has a nervous energy,
resonant voice, clear enunciaIion, and posses
es more real talent and genuine fire than any
one now on the stage. His support will be ex'
cellent With Mr.. Shewell as Marc Antony,
Mr.. Frederic Robinson as Brutus, and Mr.. Bar
rett as Cassius, the three principal characters
of this grand drama will be presented with bet
ter showing forth of the poets idea than is
usually the case in the metropolitan theaters,
where Forrest or Booth takes one character
and all the rest are left to the underlings The
parts of Casca, Caesar, and others, are also en-
trusted to good actors. As the performance will
be of a superior character, we trust the theater
will be well filled tonight.
The PANTOMIME.-The promise of a full
house, given by the brisk demand for reserved
seats at the box Office during the past two days,
was fully verified last evening, the theatre being
packed by an audience which in point of num-
bers has seldom been equaled at any entertain
ment in Worcester. Long before the hour Of
opening, the lower hall was crowded with
dense throng of ticket buyers, and hundreds
went away impatient at the unavoidable delay
in securing their checks The troupe, though
lacking the effective aid Of the Tyrolean singers,
whose presence was announced, performed their
parts with spirit and enthusiasm, while Fox, the
bright particular star, "the hero of 1901 nights,
was as always, inimtabe in his role as
clown. The varied attractions introduced
in the second act were received with favor, the
athletic feats of the Wilson brothers, the won
derful performances of Senior Cassel on the in
visible wire, and the graceful riding of the
infant velOcipedists, especially calling forth
enthusiastic applause. The pleasure of por
ton OF the audience in the lower tiers was sadly
marred by noisy whistling and cat calls in the
galleries previous to the beginning of the enter
tainment, and at intervals during the evening
1t seems as though there might be some way to
put stop to such demonstrations, and it is to
be hoped that in future the nuisance will be
abated.
