AS produced by MaoLean, Tyler and
Hamford, Romeo and Juliet was an i'm
provement over the production OF Julius
Caesar says the Louisville Dispatch. 1t
served to introduce Odette Tyler, who. e
Juliet was q revelation TO many who had
supposed her incapable of such talented
presentation of the grief-stricken daughter
of the Capulets.
Miss Tyler was known to be a we'll
trained actress and her fleeing iutroduc-
ton OF Portia on Monday night indicated
that something interesting might be eX-
pected of her when the opportunity was al
forded her. But nobody supposed she wou d
make such a Juliet. In the balcony scele
she was charmingly maidenly and unaf
fected, repeating her lines with a perfect
understanding of the requirements OF the
part. Again in the scene with Lord Capu-
let and her lady mother was she able to
resist the temptation to over act, and
finally at the tomb did she accept well the
opportunity to become emotional wbohout
being Theauric.
Mr. NIacLean also made a better Romeo
than even his careful work on the Previous
night promised. 1t was feared that in his
hands the part would be more studioas
than brilliant and that 1T would lack tae
fire and impetuosity so necessary TO a
truthful presentation. Yet sudh was not
the case Mr. MacLean's work was beau
tifully shaded and rarely was 1t lacking
in sentiment.

clever piece of acting at all times and
