At the St. Charles Theatre, last night,
was played Shakespeare's tragic love story
of ''Rome and Juliet" with Lawrence Bar.
rett as Romeo. From Riehelieu to Romeo
is lopg.step. Playing the two characters
shows the versatility of the actor. Of
course, Mr.. Barrett read well and looked
well; but he has too much art and too little
gush for the school girls dream called
Romeo. Miss Lizzie Pierson, who has
been particularly hard worked with the
frequent change of programmes during
the past two weeks, acted JaNet COR.
rsctly. Mr.. John w. Norton was a most
satisfactory Mercutio; indeed there are
but few of our actors who play the part
better. Mercuti0 is character too full of
life and dash for the love-sick snobs about
him; he overshadowed all, and Shakespeare
must needs kill him off in the middle of the
third act; otherwise, Mr.. Barrett would
have been obliged to cut the piece to make
leading part of Romeo. AercuLo was the
beginning of grand comedy creation
which has never been continued. The
Queen Nab and all other speeches came
trippingly from Mr.. Nortons tongue, with
full force and effect Tonight Mr.. Barrett
will act Iago, character which he seldom
plays, but one that he acts skillfully when
he pleases. He should play it oftener and
make IaSo known as one of his great parts.
At the Academy of Music tonight will be
produced the 1.-TWO Orphans" and Miss
Minnie Palmer has been engaged to play the
blind girl Louise. Mr.. L. L. Graham has
painted several new scenes for the piece,
and the stage carpenters have been working
night and day to prepare the stage. Mr..
Bidwell is in earnest to make success of
what is really the finest drama of the day.
His company played the piece in Mobile,
and each member will 60 on the stage to-
night perfect in the different parts and can
not tail to create sensation.
The DAILY Fifth Avenue Theatre company
will also play Mr.. Days vers,on of the
1.-TWO Orphans" at the Varieties Theatre
tonight, with Miss Sara Jewett as the blind
girl. All versions of this great play must
be essentially the same. When Mr.. DAILY
re-writes piece he makes it tit his COM
pany; it will be safe to say he has done so
in adapting the 1.-TWO Orphans" from the
French play. 1t will be unfair to anticipate
the manner of acting the play either at the
Varieties or at the Academy. The drama
is one which will bear repetition, and it is
probable all who can do SO will see the
representation at both theatres. COMPETE
ton is the life of trade; both managers and
all of the actors are on their mettle to excel,
and that ambition is good enough for the
public. The star system with one-part
pieces has worked against the organization
and chances to display good stock oompa-
mics. The 1.-TWO Orphans" is piece in
which every part is good, in which actors
become interested and lose their personal
identity; it is the play we are to see, and it's
production will be an interesting dramatic
event. New scenery for the piece has also
been prepared at the Varieties Theatre.
