LAWRENCE BARRETT.

To those who in tragedy or comedy are
accustomed to look for sentences that bristle
with thought and meaning, the offering of
the poet may seem, at first, to lose some
what by it's easy flow and graceful rythm
The drama of the master with it's complex
development seems to lose its breadth in the
hands of his followers. One may miss the
gay clown and his attendants, the courtier
and his private ambitions. yet they cannot
distrust the purpose of cur story. 1t moves
on steadily gaining power as it grows. Mr..
Browning's "Blot on the 'Scuteheon," as
given last evening a Carll's Opera House by
Lawrence Barrett and his excellent company,
is very strong, moving and graceful withal.
Its dark side in Mr.. Barrett's hands is
reality. He is winning his way year by year
into higher place in public esteem by his
untiring energy to develop the late dramas,
and his admirable selection of plays. Miss
Marie wainwright as mildred" grew with the
part; its requirements were her natural ten
denotes. The despair, shame, remorse, the
love, fear and lively concern seem less acted
than lived and Mr.. Barrett to the last stands
her only rival for applause. Mr.. Mosley as
t'Henry, Earl Mertonne," deserves COM
mendatiop. In the choice of an afterpiece
good taste has been shown. The simple,
light, poetic and winning adaptation of "The
Kings Pleasure" lends grace and finish to
the evenings entertainment. The transition
from tragedy to comedy does not jar it is SO
tenderly made. The song of 'sGringoire'' as
spoken by Mr.. Barrett was very delicate; his
pleading with 'Loyse,'' Miss wainwright,
simple and touching. Mr.. Louis James
