BOOTH AND BARRETT.
the Crafty Villain and Jealous
Moore In Othello.

Moore in Othello.
The first night OF the Booths
engagement passed of very smoothly
and quietly at the opera house last night,
perhaps the largest and most critical
audience ever assembled In the house
/ being present. Every seat was filled
and even the gallery was full. Not OF
| the usual order of goods" who assemble
! there for the two-bit admission price,
! but many gentlemen with their families
| paid dollar head 10 obtain even these
| seats.
The performance OF "Othello," by
Barrett In the title roll, and Booth
as Iago, was not applauded as
much Is was Mr.. Keen's pre-
sentation of the play early in the
season. The reason for this, In one part,
was the rapidly and imperiection OF
the speaking OF the two stars. Their
hearers could not understand one-half
OF the finest points made, for.this reason.
or the impersOnation OF "0thello." the
jealous Moor, by Mr.. Barrett, much can
be said In praise. His makeup OF his
face was perfection itself, bur his rather
spare build and short stature detracted
from the lmpersonation 1t should have
carried with it. Then he did not throw
enough fire or ssvagery Into the part,
making IL rather stiff In the tenderest
passages with Desdemona and as q war
riOr and--Hoor, rather more OF a courtier
than semi savage general Perhaps his
stiffness In the love scenes could not be
broken down with no warmer Desde-
mona than Miss Gale played, for she
certainly lacked the warmth, love-
illness aud sweet tender voice given
Desdemona by Miss Anna Boyle, of
Tom Keene's company.
Booth. as Iago, played with so care
less vein that it became apparent. He
ran over the best passages In his lines
with little or no emphasis and In conse-
quence they had DO effect. He plays
Booth lago Instead OF the immortal au-
thor's conception, and does not Undue il
with that subtle villainy OF word, ex-
preston and manner that Shakespeare
intended should be used TO depict the
greatest conception OF crafty villain
ever held before tie public mirror. His
physique. also, was not as lusty as could
he desired. The remainder Of the COM
psny, with perhaps the single exception
of Miss Kellogg as Emilia. were ordinary
iE their support. Miss Kellogg In this
role, was at once recognized as posses
sing u fine conception of the part and
the audience quickly accorded just ap-
plsuse. The costumes we're hardly true
TO the times and countries Of the action,
and the stage settings, particularly In
the bed chamber scene, where Desde-
mona is strangled By Othello, were not
arranged as nicely as could have been.
Tonight the play, is Julius Caesar"
with Booth as Brutus and Barrett as
Cassius.

Nolan Street SCR
SAN ANTONIO, f.. .. %, 1888.

Editor LIGHT:
Mrs. Murphy, who proposes to erect
the school building on Nolan street, GER
tainly has worthy object In view, the
intellectual and moral Improvement Of
the negro, and one which should be en-
couraged and countenanced by all true
citizens. Since the lady guarantees that
peace and uuiet shall reign supreme
within the institution, and will person.
ally superintend 1t, the writer fails to
see In what respect the resi-
dents of the surrounding locality
will be annoyed or subjected to griev-
anoes Of any nature. Therefore, why
raise any objection against the erection
OF this most important edifice, even
though 1t be for the oolored people. Is
1t not most vital, nay. crying necessi-
ty, and one for which ample provision
should have been made long before this?
This no one will deny and the gentle
men who threaten to do violence, should
1t be erected, have no just cause for SO
doing, other than their own personal
interests. But even this, should
be sacrificed, when the import
anoe OF the question is con-
sidered. This school, II erected,
would prove an untold benefit to the
oolored people Of the Alamo city, and
would prove that San Antonio is not be-
hind other cities in providing for Che
education of the negro. VIII not few
willing hands join the lady in her noble
undertaking? Let no prejudice creep in
the heart of those, who but for the in
fiuence Of greater (0 minds" would
willingly assent to the proposition. Ia
the language Of the author Of '"Timothy
Wfnebruiser," "educate the negro and
you won't be ashamed to shake hands
with him when you meet him." Mr..
Gallagher is right, and 1t is to be hoped
that be Is not alone in this manly senti-
ment. Should this school be erected,
the hearts OF the colored people will 70
out In grateful recognition to Mrs. MUIR
ply for her benevolent deed, and they
will thank and bless her all In one breath.
Let the good work go on.

A Wonderfully Knowing Cat,
From the Kennebec (Me) Journal.

Said Mr.. Bowdlteh, the we'll known
druggist, with G merry twinkle of his

talk about trained dog Of his, so told

fellow hasn't recovered yet from the
surprise that cats sagaelty gave him."

The Parnen Inquiry.

HEARsAY EVIDENCE FINALLY. EXCLUDED-THE
MURDER OF AGENT BLAKE.
The Parnell commission yesterday continued
hearing witnesses, who deposed to outrages
and boycotting. A determined attempt was
made by the Times counsel to introduce hear
say evidence, but a final indignant protest by
Sir Charles Russell induced their lordships to
lay down a permanent rule against it,
The only important point was scored by Rus
sell. Mrs. Blake, widow of LordsClanricardes
agent, created considerable impression by her
recital of the circumstances connected with her
husbands murder in June. 1882. and at the
height of the first agrarian conflict. But in
cross-examination she stated that her husband
had strongly urged to Clanricarde the impera-
tive necessity Of reducing rents, but his lord
ship always refused. After her husband's
death she sought to vindicate his memory by
publishing confrmatOry correspondence, but
Clanricarde had the meanness to obtain a legal
injunction restraining her from doing so.
