HAMLET, PRINCE OF DENMARK.

The Journal scribe has witnessed
several productions of Hamlet by not

his mind the Hamlet of Sanford Dodge

pecially appreciative feature OF Mr..
Dodge's work is the clearness and dis.
tinctness with which he enunciates
his lines. making 1t possible to follow
the trend OF the narrative without ef.
Tort, keeping always alive an Intense
interest; and particularly does he give
effective expression and emphasis to
me stirring passages and impressive
epigrams with which this play
abounds. In the main his support was
good. Miss Leslie being particularly
good in the part OF Ophelia.

a policeman regularly stationed on the
outside while at night two former de

able that the delegation will go to st.
