The 2500th performance OF "Richard
ILL.," by Thomas W. keene, last ever ing,
was of sufficient Importance to attract q
theatrefull Of tragedy lovers to the Provi-
dence Opsra House. and they were repaid
for their time and money by good pre-
sentation of the world famous play. In
some respects il was the best "Richard
III" seen in this city for the past gener-
alton. Not that Mr.. heene was in any
respect superior tn the great ones who
have impersonated Gloster during 70
years, but ths tragedy was put upon the
stage with scenic em bellishmeGts OF con-
siderable magnitude; something that does
not usually fall 60 its lot. Another par
ticularly noticeable eaturs was the uni
form good presentation OF the several
characters. There were no actual sticks
on the stage. ana some of the minor parts
possessed merit equal To the best shown
by the principal players. This was es-
pecialiy true of Miss Iimbermann. who
made the scene Of the parting with the
doomed princes remarkably earness, truth
full and effective. Ii was the best thing Of
the evening. Mr.. Hanford was satisfac-
tory as Richmond and Mr. Lowell made
a vigorous BucKiDgham. Mr. keene so
far as no went was IL terestine as Richard,
but the man does not seem to have n clear
idea of the great character. Its mere out
ward show of villainy is there, but the
wunsrful creation Of the immortal drama-
tist /. rot made TO live and breathe. Walk
and grimace will never make Richard
