good-szed audience, the preponderance

as Romeo and Adelaide Prince as Juliet at
the Columbia Theatre last evening. 1t was
scholarly audience and competent to
judge Of the presentation of the beautiful
Shakespea.ean love story. Considered from
a popular point of view. there have been
few more satisfactory productions of the
play than that of last night.
The character of Romeo is not new one
for Mr. Clarke. nor has his reading of the
lines departed from his original concer--
ton since he has last been seen here At
times 1t is excellent; at all times pleasing.
Miss Prince possesses the temperament of
an ideal Juliet and some of her earlier
scenes are admirable. The Tybait of Mr..
Barrett is excellent and the Mercutio of
Mr. Balfour far. above the average. His
reading of the Queen Nab speech might be
improved. however. The remainder of the
cast is better, or appears to better advan-
tage. than in Hamlet" Romeo and Iu-
liet' will again be the Columbia's bill at
