REVIEW OF TIE WEEK.
THE Euc11p-AvESuE COMPANY.
In an estimate Of the abilities Of tho company
that supported Miss Nelson the fact that they
labored under very unusual difficulties should
be borne in mind. They were compelled to
play "Romco and Juliet" almost without
notice, from Miss NELSON'S manuscripts
version which differs from that used by every
leading actress in this country So also they
studied 'sTwclfth Night" from an American
edition, which, at the last moment, they were
obliged to exchange for an English version.
But they should remember, while smarting
under sense Of personal grievance, that the
public cannot be informed of what transpires
behind the scenes, and the press must take
company for what it appears to be on the stage.

their first performance in "Romeo and Juliet u
than II thev had belonged to Chicago, and
it must be confessed m,at they deserved
all the 1ashings they received on account Of
it. Not SO in the case of Twelfth Night" With
Ftiar, al the characters were as7weu taken as

Theatre: and the company as whole is not
greatly inferior to the one that Alr. McVicker
