THE TWELFTH NIGHT" /"
Miss Marie Wainwright At The
Colonial Theatre In This
Popular Play.

The usual number OF Shakesperean
scholars attended the performance at the
Colonial Theatre last night, where Miss
Marie Wainwright appeared in Twelfth
Night" The audience was small one,
not because Shakespeare is not appreci-
ated, but because a town this size can
scarcely afford FIVE performances in a
week and give each proper patronage.
Last nights production was disap
pointing in some respects. Ii has been
years since Miss Wainwright was seen
here, and in that time she has lost her
youth and freshness While herporrayal
of the characters Cesario and Viola is
artistic, yet this famous artist has out
grown them as she has the noontide OF
life, and much OF the effect is thereby
lost. Few actresses can portray youth
who do not possess it. OF these few the
most marked exception is Millie James
in "The Little Princess.
Miss Wainwright, however, is possess
ed of a warm emotional temperament
and a very sympathetic voice. Her
comedy is rs piquant as her feeling is
profound. by this means she makes II
easy to understand why the gentle Viola.
transformed into Cesario, should become
the dukes favorite page. The staging OF
this comedy has been made a great iea-
ture. Scenically considered. II is series
OF glorious pictures. a Kaleidoscope spec
tacle of color and light. asst, scenery,
electric equipment, paraphernalia, aux
iliaries, costuming, in fact everything,
was almost perfect.
In the first few scenes an effort was
made to shift the scenery with the drop
curtain raised. But there was not suffi-
cient darkness, and the stage hands could
be plainly seen moving about, one car
rying in a tree, while its branches came
down from above. The sea was seen to
move upward and the unusual sights
caused merriment in the audience and
the effect was lost. The property man,
appreciating the situation, dropped the
curtain. Mr. Applebee, as "Sir Toby"
Mr.. Atkins, as 'Sir Andrew" and Mr.
Allen as the fool, were seen to advantage.
The most carefully worked out con-
trast is that between the fool by profes-
sion and the involuntary fools, Malvolio,
Sir Andrew and Sir Toby. While the
latter, in their own conceit and foolish
ness, unconsciously draw the cap and
bells over their own ears, the former, in
his self.adopted mental garb of motley
colors, moves with inimitable adroitness,
and pins the lappets of his wit to the
back of all the other characters. The
meaning Of the poem is, SO to say, CEN
tered in him. He alone, in full conscious
ness, contemplates life as a merry Twelfth
Night. in which everyone has, in fact,
only to play his allotted part to the greatest
possible amusement of himself and others.
