THEATRICAL TOPICS.

1t was q real pleasure to see again
Shakespeare's Comedy OF Errors which
Stuart Robson presented at the National
last night. This is the first time he
has Done it in several years, but the
performance was not merely smooth, but
actually rushed along with light, farcical
touch which quite modernized the old
piece. and sent the audience on its way
at 1913.
The Comedy of Errors is the shortest
play in point Of words which Shakespeare
wrote. 1t is also the best constructed.
In an his other dramas he has ccipsed
bad construction wish a superabundance
of ideas and word structures which have
raised them to unspproaehable pre-elni-
nence. IN the coidcdy OF the two dro-
mios there is much beautiful language,
showing dnmistakablv the genius Of the
one dramatic master; but the situations,
scenes aud evoIvesnents are all scored
in such accurate and cumulative order
that il puts 10 blush today the makers
OF many OF our modern IA rces and dis

The Imagination, worked upon by
much reading IN the daily papers con-
corning the air-ship that some weeks
ago first made its appearance to the
people of Kansas, has finally revealed
that wondel ful aerial inhabitant to one
of our own citizens. Ii was seen by
Alex. Taylor Tuesday night at quar-
ter to ten O'Clock at a point a little
north OF west and about fifty yards
above the horizon" The beholder
judged it to have been distant about
7s miles. To be exact about this
matter Mr.. Taylor did not see the
outlines Of the ship itself, or the black
beIly-band the citizens OF Salisbury
saw on Monday night, but simply a
bright, white light That the light
really moved Mr.. Taylor demonstrated
by taking the roof Of his wood-shed
for n marker. The light gradusHy
went out Of sight behind the wood shed
and finally disappeared altogether.
He thinks he couldn't have mistaken
Venus for the headlight of an air-ship,
because the clouds at the time OBJ
scured the planet from observation
We are wiling to vouch for the
good reputation for truth and veracity
Of the witness. and are informed hst
