REINAU AS HAMLET.
The chief event at the Athenaum. not
only of the season but for long series of
years, was unquestionably the presenta-
ton of Hamlet, rendered by the dramatic
division, with their guest, Mr.. Franz Rel
nau, in the title role. Much had been
said and much expected, but it is safe to
say that this great character has never
found more capable exponent, more
diligent scholar or finer representative
than it did in Mr.. Reinau. It was appar-
ent that the study of this part was to him
labor of love, and he must have felt we'll
repaid by the breathless attention of his
auditors, who seemed to hang upon every
expression of his finely modulated voice,
and to watch with keenest interest every
gesture or play of mien and
features as developed in the
course of his splendid por-
trayal of this matchless and difficult part.
The writer of this has had the high pleas
ure of seeing Murdoch, Edwin Adams,
Neatie, Leonard, Booth and other lesser
lights, in this self same character. He has
also seen the latest aspirant to histrionic
honors i'll this part, but it is no disparage-
ment to the first named to say that while
each was good and one particularly was
great in separate and distinctive scenes or
| even acts, none sustained the entire from
beginning to end in a manner so we'll con-
ceived, so finely balanced or so thoroughly
| comprehensive as did Mr.. Reinau. His

excellent, and the society may we'll con-

and surprise calling forth general desire
to enjoy repetition of the play, before Mr.

The dramatic division has prevailed up
on Mr.: Reinau to prolong his stay while
longer, and will this ewing produce two
comedies, entitled ''The Newly Wedded''
and Cit for Tat" in each of which Mr..
Reinau assumes the principal character.
The first named piece is by the celebrated
Scandinavian author, Mr.. Biornstjsrne
Bjornson, who paid our city visit some
years ago, and is one of the finest produc-
tions of his prolific pen. Every attention
has been paid to details and finished per-
