Flaws in His DelineatiOns.
LONDON, April 1.-THE appearance Of
Lawrence Barrett at the Lyceum Theatre
Saturday night in 'Yorick's Love- is
made the occasion for extended comment
and criticism by all the morning papers.
As usual there is great variety of Opin-
ion. Much is found to commend and much
to condemn.
The Times recognizes that he is a high
ly trained actor, and says that he will
always please, even if he can never deeply
stir an audience.
The Standard is somewhat more severe.
1t finds in him no trace of tragic power,
and declares that he fails when passion is
required.
The opinion of the Telegraph is more
favorable. 1t thinks that many will be
pleased to see an actor so full Of magnet
ism and so glib Of tongue in Shakespear-
can drama.
The NelcS, however, asserts that his
calculated efforts and studied effects are
too obviOus,' while the Post declares that
he appeals more to the intellectual than
the emotional nature.
