In Edwin Booth and Lawren ce Barre TT s
production of 'The Merchant Of Venice"
the tragedians observe that principle or
art which establishes harmony between
a picture and its frame, and enhances that
estimable comedy by a richness OF ma

charming as a spectacle than admirable
as an archaeological study. What the
distinguished actors do for the sentiment
aud poetry of the play the scenic artists
and costumers enhance by the structural
form of the work. Messrs. Booth and
Barrett do not attempt to catch the ap-
pause OF the vulgar with gaudy tinsel or
the stunning effects of gilded extraya-
gance.
