DRAMATIC DOTS.

.rHanolet" has been done again in
London, and the reviewers tackle the
subject critically, philosophically, and
historically with gusto, says the New
York Times. The London Times is
moved to remark that 1t has often peen
said of Keans acting that he was
accustomed to illuminate the text by
flashes of lightning" Coleridge sald
very aptly and comprehensively that
to see Kean act was like reading
Shakespeare by flashes of lightning;
that is that Kean was dazzlingly bril-
liant in certain passages, but palnfully
obscure in many others. The phrase
has been misquoted and misinterpreted
again and again. The London Times
also saws Edwin Booth was the last
actor of the Kean school, the aim of
which was to startle the house by re-
narkable readings of faVorite pas
sages." Nonsense! The Hamlet of
Edwin Booth, if not the most striking,
was the clearest, the most logical, the
most eloquent and the best proper
toned of it's day. He had no remark
able readings of favorite passages.
The subject of Hamlet" so rarely
inspires in a reviewer novel or inter-
esting ideas that the following pas
sages from a recent article by Mr.
Clement Scott is all the more interest
ing:
Zone has known Hamlets to whom
the pholosophic and meditative mo-
ments of the prince were evidently
so congenial as to make them appar-
emily accept the tragedy of his fate
and mission-at any rate, at those mo-
ments-allnost with complacency.
Their attitude, indeed, has sometimes
dangerously resembled that of Cicero
when, according to Mr.. Shandy, he was
so speedily consoled for the loss of his
daughter by discovering how many ex-
cellent reflections were to be made on
the subject Hence instead of display
ing bitter self-reproach for their delay
in exciting filial vengeance they have
rather struck one as feeling that five
acts afforded them none too much time
for the enunciation of the sublime
thoughts on life and death and human
nature which the poet of all time has
| put into Hamlet'S mouth.
