SHAKESPEARE CLUB.-This popular
Society gave very acceptable render
ing of Shakspeare's much admired
comedy, The Merchant Of Venice, at
Kimball Hall last Friday evening.
The representation was given as an
aid to study only and not as a dramat,
ic exhibition, none but actual members
of the society and their younger chill
dren being admitted. The play was
in every respect pronounced success
and gave unqualified satisfaction to
the large and critical audience that
gathered to witness it. Miss Ever
harris original and vivid portrayal Of
the difficult character Of Shylock was
one of the finest specimens of amateur
acting ever witnessed in this city
Mr.. Sinclair as Antonio was excellent,
as he always is, Mr.. HI. M. Theirs gave
a decidedly fine rendition of Bassanio,
Chester Reynolds as old Gobbo, was
inimitable and Mr.. McKindley as the
Duke, Messrs. H. & &c Cole as
Gratiano and Lorenzo respectively,
Messrs. W. & J. Bond Salarino and
Launcelott respectively, and Horace
Simmons as SolaniO, were all deserving
of especial praise. Miss Bacot as Por-
tia fully sustained her reputation for
fine acting, her excellent deliniation
of that character, in the trial scene
being almost faultless. Miss Martin
as Nerissa and Miss Ashley as Jessica
did full justice to their respective
characters and deserve more than pass
ing notice. The dramatic representa-
lions have proved powerful auxileries
to the work of the society and have
done much to remove unfounded pre-
JUDGE against the drama in general
and private theatricals in particular,
and to demonstrate the fact that the
cultured study of the authors thought
loses nothing by taking part with the
studied graces of the actors art.
