attention Of the greatest actors
OF our stage. II is the delight of the
elocutionist- IL is n text book study
in our schools. In consequence IL is
very possibly the most familiar classic 4

the elocutionist. the student. the actor.
and the commentator.
Yet for about fifteen years it has
been given but one American production. /

Quarrel OF Brutus and Cassius' has /
graced every lyceum program in every |
public school. that eIocutionists have 4

retirement OF Booth and the perform /

that a new generation OF theater pa

has been continuously and capably pre-
scented. IL is always a feature Of the /
repertoire OF the two patented theaters /
royal, Drury Lane and Covent Garden. |
There actors OF marked ability appear /
at reasonable intervals as Brutus, Cas-

with acceptable investiture, and the |
drama is given a moderately adequate |

also, occasional performances Of the /
play in what are called the provinces
But neither in England nor in the
United States has there been given since
the retirement of Edwin Booth any en-
Rctment OF this favored and artistic work
which was distinctive either for the act
ing or the scenic equipment.
This reflection moves the mind to n
retrospect OF the notable performances
OF this play. Some OF them have been
amusing and curious. A few have been
distinguished artistically. But none, or
practically none has been sufficiently
