King John" the first act ends with the
childish play Of the young prince. who
has found the Kings crown on the bat
tlefield and placed it on his own head,
and with the royal command to Hubert
to take him and put him 10 death. The
second act closes with the death OF
Prince Arthur under the walls of the
castle after the affecting scene with the
captor, who had been ordered TO burn
out the chfld's eyes with red-hot irons.
The third act leads UP to the death OF
King John as the logical sequel to the
fate of he boy. He has improyised two
beautiful tableaux. One of these, a
stirring picture of a battle medieval
times, is an appropriate illustration Of
the text, and as spectacle Of knights in
armor in deadly strife has seldom been
excelled on the London stage. The
other is a tableau of the granting Of
magma Charta, with the king standing
irresolute before throng of barons and
attendants, and finally granting TO them
the charter of English liberties. The
text does not contain any reference 10
Magma Charta, and Mr.. Tree is accused
Of taking wanton liberties with Shake
