THEATRICAL OPENINGS.
wh;teside I'm "Hamlet :"

Il
There are very few actors on the stage
to-day claiming serious consideration US
| Interpreters of the crucial character of
| Hamlet One of them is Walker Winteside
young mau who has been extrava eantiy
| praised by some OF the best critics of the
country. For years he has been playing IN
| nearly every city and town in the coun-
| try, but not until last night, at the
| Columbia, did he make his first appear
ance in Washington. There was general
| curiosity TO see this actor, and goodly
sized audience greeted him.
This 5 what they found him. He is n
young man. probably not over thirty'.. 81 fair
height, slender, with thoughtful CUIInteu-
ance, though not handsome, and possessed
of u voice. Of remarkable depth and volume
for the years and physique OF the nau. He
had been On t he stage but few moments
when it became evident Io the audience that
they were in the presence of an actor Of
experience, some considerable power, and
complete control Of his resources.
His Hamlet is d studi ed portrayal. He
seldom rises out OF or beyond himself
Every moment he has consciousness OF Self,
the scene and what and how he is doing,
and all lie does is seasoned and mature
with the ripeness OF long doing There IS
nothing of hesitation or experiment about
him His deep voice, oHce the auditor be-
cones accustomed to the disparity in vol
uIne and physique, impresses the ear as
rich and musical and profoundly express
i've OF the temperament of the moody
lane. He reads with care ami intcIli-
gence but seldom with the freedum of
Inspiration. There wereInomcnts, no vevcr,
when he rose to fine heights, sometimes
in passion, sometimes in denotiug the
Soulfulness of the prince. His readlng Is
his best point. All in all his is IL well
considered, praisewOrthy, scholarly Ham
let. The scene following the Injecting
with the players was exquisi tely fine up
TO the point, What a fool am L. but
from that point he pursued decIafnatory
and theatrical methods which scar ely
suggested the introspectiveness Of the
finale to the act In the scene with OpEe-
LA he not only feigned but seemed To- feel
all he said. His solilOquies were all i'm
