toneons and Cordial. The house Sc
sa one man to greet him. The audi
oD was good natured and had come
ont TO be pleased. From the rising
O O curtain, the happy love scene OF
the first act, TO the dropping OF the
cnrtgin upon the fifth act, with Its
imnrobable betrayal and CHASTITY
tTaGsdies, the audience and the
nJaYers were completely e7lTGpQo5t.
nYorick's Love" is beautiful poem
"a beautiful play, even if 1t does
not ole aee tie dramatic carpenters
The people-of England and Ameri-
ca alike-sppTove and commend II,
and If matters little that some lm~
probable situations do not lease
the critics. 1t has that which makes
any pay a success, it portrays the
human passions and conseque ntiy
enlists human sympathies In the low
and the ebb of those passions.
TIE plot is fsmiliar to our
reaJers. 1t is briefly stated as
follows: The time Of toe play is IN
the DAYS of Shakespeare; the plot Is
very strong but simple one; for'
lex, the comedian of the MODE Ine'
stre ig married to Mistress Alice,
the leading lady of the same play
house. who Ia a very beautiful Wo-
nsn and much his junior. HIS
foster son, Edmund, also an actor,
who owes everything in life to I Or
lex, falls IN love with Alice, VINO
returns that affection. WALTON, the
leading actor Of the Globe, discovers
their ioye. and being Jealous of Yor-
ick professionally, concludes to &C.
nnaInt him with the state OF affairs.
Master Haywood, the manager OF
the tbestre, also has noticed that
thegtwo have fallen in love. and en-
deaYors to keep tie knoWleoge
from YoYick. Master Wood'od has
written a play in which the chief
characters are a loving husband,
faithless wife, and an ungratefuI
ward. These characters are taken
by Vortex, Mistress Alice end
Master Edmund, and gra 1ually the
truth ia unfolded unul the end o.
the PLAY. The last act is on the
stage of The Gl0bs Theatre,an dr.

Vortex bee mes Infatuated, and in
the fencing scene actually kills Ed
and then himself in q ut of remofse.
The fragile woman Alice IS carried
from the scene in an jnsensiDle con.
dition. The play has been edarted
fr m the Spanish by Mr. Howeils,
bnt it is not native to Spain, 1t
has points many of them, per
fectIg fsmiliar to English play
goers. But it is not necessary to
trace its origin. 1t is of intense in
terest and mgrked by strong dram
attic situations. 1t is a classic in the
English language. lis language is
fauItlsss. 1t gives Mr.. Barrett and
his admirable company ample op
portunity for the display of their
bowers. Mr.. Barrett never played go
well IN Denver as he did last even
ing. His readings we're faultless
and here was almost a total alb
sence Of what his objectors have
termed manner'sms. He showed
himself a wonderfully gifted, intel.
ligent and conscientious actor. The
audience frequently gave express
zion to their appreciation by hearty
applause, and the great favorite
was called before the curtain after
each act. Mr.. James maintained
his well established reputation as
an acceptable and conscientious
actor, and Mis- Wainwright held
her old place in the affections Of our
people. She has made wonderful
progress in her art and methods
