wears ago. 1t is by no means IL stirring
effort. nor Is it enlivened by any bursts
Of eloduence. 1t seems to have been
written around the l~achrymose scene
where Charles bids good-by to Henrietta
Maria and his children before being exc
cuted. The three preceding acts are
gloomy and ediou They score no
point, and they tell no truth. Charles
is a martyr, of course, and Oliver Crom-

Several of the managers of the met

Is extremely difficult to get attractions
for their theatres this season. There
have been so many failures that there
is nothing now hut old reliables." The
public. this season, has shown a steady
dislike for 'old reliables." Never have
