BOOTH AS "RIcHEL1EU."
London correspondence New York Tribune:
Booth, reappearing during the week at the
Adelphi in Rtehelteu, was cordially welcomed
by the press and the public. The London
papers carefully criticise his acting and
recognize much more adequately than before
the signal merits of his conc tption and exc
cution. Any prejudice felt last year has dis
appeared. The greeting to Booth by the
first nights audience was not less enthusi-
astic than is accorded TO the most popular
English actor. Some regret is expressed
that he arrives at season when theatrical
attendance generally dIminishes."
New York HeTaid's London cable: "Mr. E.
Booths performances have been the chief
feature Of the theatrical week. The critigues
of the London journals unanimously recog-
nize greater depth OF conception in his
'Richelieu,' and an effort to make it less
grimly cynical. There is anxiety to see him
again as Lear in which, the Academy re-
marks, you are brought face to face with a
maddened king, one of the most difficult
parts in the whole OF Shakespeare. Indeed,
our generation has seen no other Lear"
