heavy expenditures for the schools during the past

RICHELIEU-JULIET
MR.. M'cULLouoH-MIss CALHOUN.
BulWer and Shakespeare at Our Theatres-TWt
Splendid PerfOrmanees-Both Places Well
Filled-A Criticism Of the Plays
How They We're Rendered.

Bulwer was at the National last night and
Shakespeare, the immortal William, at the Opera
House. In the first instance, there was an actor
who had gained reputation by careful and con-
scientiOus endeavOr, and at the Opera House there
was young girl who made her first effort upon
the stage east of San Francisco. At the National
we may speak of
John Mccullough RicheIieu.
The house was one worthy the great tragedian
whose name heads the notice, and the play was one
in which he has won golden opinions from the
New York critics, and one which he has made pecu-
lary his by his careful study and by his correct
Interpretation of the willy Cardinal In every
scene Mr. Mccullough showed how deep had beell
his study, and how great had been his research OF
the character and times of the man who
held The destinies of France in his own
hands and to whose genius and resolution
is due, in a great measure, the present literary
and dramatic prosperity of the French Republic.
Richelieu was a man of genius. He was the patron
of art of science, and of letters To his fostering
care is due in no small degree the high rank that
France now takes in the literary and dramatic
world. Aside from the religious character of the
priest, the great Cardinal united the .ambl-
ton and work of the man of letters and to his
influence more than 10 any man OF his
times is due the great progress that France made
ton during his reign. Mr.. Mccullough has evil
IDENTIFY studied deeply and attentyely the life and
times of the great Cardinal and in his impersona,
ton he presents a pOrtraiture that lives and
| moves in every act The makeup the faltering
step, the careworn face, the severe priestly cos
tune, all show how careful and how correct has
been his Investigations into the past, to pre-
sent the great French minister in a manner which
shall convince the audience that he is actually
present before them. He invests the character
with vitality, realism that is rarely met
with, and in every act he shows the
power of his conception and the evenness
of his execution. His finest point was, as might
have been naturally expected in the scene where
he rises to the grandeur of tragic interest and
draws the imaginary circle Of the Church about
Julie end himself and dares the cOnspirators to step
within its charmed limits. At this point the en-
thusiasm of the audience knew no bounds
and the applause was long and continuous;
and when the act closed, the recall before the
curtain was most emphatic and pronounced. This,
by the way did not differ, except i'll degree, from
the demand that was made at the close of each act
and the verdict of the large audience that was
present at the National Theatre last night that
Mr.. Mccullough was an actor whom Washington de-
lighted to honor, end there was every indication
that ne would be greeted with full houses during
his entire engagement Tonight Mr. Mccullough
will appear as OthelO.
