OfMr. kcene's conception and ren8Itlon
fthe character he impersonatsd last night
nothing need be said further than it was
realistic and satisfactory in the

hy the hearty rounds Of applause
with which the audience frequently mani
tested its approval Mr.. Keene 5 concep-
ton of Macbeth is somewhat different from
that of his contemporaries on the boards
and the reading Of the lines falling to the
role is. at times, different from the version
found in most late editions Of the piay-ln
fact the character as portrayed by him Is
original in many respects, but 1t Is none the
less what it should be.
The actor was well supported by the fol-
lowing company: McDuh, Mr.. P. c. Ha-
car; Malcolm, Mr.. Eugene Moore; King
