an intelligent, sympathetic appreciation
of the text, by a delicate sense of the linz
its to which the reader is obliged to re-
strict himself, and by a most skillful
use of all the legitimate resources of his
art. He has IN admirable voice, with a
manner that commands at once the respect
of an audience; and his Interpretation of
classic English comedy is so unstraiped
end graceful, so free from all turbulence
and eXaggeration, that it is a very great
pleasure 20 listen to him.
