| Garfield hall, should lose TO time in
! getting their tickets and locating their
/ seats, as the indications are that the
/ house will be crowded. 1t is not often
that the people of Kansas are given
an opportunity to see so great a man
as Watterson, much less 70 hear him
! in his eloquent flights and they should
! be very particular 10 get a good seat.
Speaking of Mr.. Watterson's lecture
/ the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
For nearly two hours 5000 represent
afive Chica goans sat in the great au-
itorium last evening and listened 10 one
OF Americas most gifted orators, versa
tile writers and profound thinkers. This
great audience had gathered TO do hon
or TO the republics second dcliverer
and TO hear the brilliant words of that
silver-tongued son Of the South, Hon.
Henry Watterson. The appear
ance of the famous editor and orator
was the signal for an outburst of ap-
plause that ceased only when the speak
er waved his hand as a signal for 81
lence. Henry Watterson said
that God struck Lincoln down in the
very hour of his triumph and blighted
the South TO complete the utter extinc-
ton of the very idea OF slavery. He
then said solemnly: We are here this
night to test it" Then raising both
hands and bowling his head in rever-
ence, he repeated, Gods will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven"
KEENE AS HAMLET.
Shakespeares grand, scholarly crea-
tion-Hamlet, has been chosen for Mr.
Keene's appearance here on next We'd
nesday night at the Crawford grand.
A judicious selection. 1t always at
tracts large audiences; indeed we are
told that il stands at the head of his
lists of receipts as compared with other
plays. Whatever may be thought of
this actors Hamlet in the always un-
satisfactory comparison with another,
this box office standard gives the un-
answerable verdict of the people. II
IS their Hamlet.
1t is consistent, intelligent, dramatic
and always scholarly and interesting.
Time and study, which is last is a part
of Keene's profound love for his art,
have doubtless wrought changes in all
his great classic impersonations since
he burst upon the stage world as Rich
ard III, some seventeen years ago. and
took his audiences by storm; following
his first surprise and triumph by the
production of other plays of Shakes
peare and kindred authors Expert
ence with It's ripper mellowness Of years
has given to all his renditlons a finish
which naturally was wanting at first
Keene is at all times an earnest and
conscientious player, and no more care
full and Industrious student of his au-
thors can be named. His we'll selected
library furnishes him all the notable
authorities and commentators. to
which may be added that he is born
actor, instructive and conceptions.
In his production Of Hamlet, Mr..
keene has introduced novelties of seen
fc and stage details of great interest in
his treatment of the supernatural His
large company Of twenty-three people
has been selected by himself-being
solely his own manager-and are hand
somely and newly costumed after Plan
che and other ancient chroniclers.
