ing the chances OF success OF the new candidate
for public favor, and a diversity Of opinions pre-

favorable to Mr.. TOole. The impression seems
to have gained ground in some quarters
that the role OF this gentleman is limited
to representations OF low types Of Eng
lsh character and that in other and higher
ranges he is equailed by many an artist of lesser
reputation tnan that which he enjoys. To prove

which moves his auditors to tears and smiles alter
nately. His "make up" Is wonderful indeed. SO
great are the changes OF which he is capable that
his Oldest friends often incapable 0fdistinguish
ing him for the moment, while the originality OF
his humor has seldom been equalled.
