Alexander SaIyini.

The engagement OF Alexander Salvini
at the Providence Opera House, which Is
announced for the latter half OF next
week, has been looked forward to as one OF
the most popular events OF the dramatic
year. Salvini Is acknowledged TO be a
great actor in the robust school. On his
engagement here next week, however, it
will be his appearance for the first time
40 Hamlet that will arouse the most In
terest. On his last appearance here most
everyone advanced the opinion that he
was worthy greater OPPORTUNITIES INN
the romantic drama afforded, and from
the glowing comment that has been made
on his Hamlet" IL would seem that
their judgment was correct. As pro-
duction II has been described as the most
complete that has ever been taken on
tour, a fact that will commend itself to
these who so often have to gee Hamlet"
with the meagre scenic equipment Of
the local stage.
