drama that can be seen many times with
ever increasing interest so captivating is
its story. II translates into the twentieth
century a fragment Of the romantic life
OF the Old World and treats OF period
pregnant with events which have influ-
enced and shaped, to a great extent. the
entire subsequent history OF the human
race
IL is also the only distinctively religious
drama commended by all people irrespec-
tive Of creed or persuasion, bringing home
to the auditor "A stronger realization OF
the actual presence or the Nazarene on

MANTELL AS
HAMLET WAS
APPRECIATED

Robert Mantell as Hamlet added further
last evening TO the splendid impression
he has been making in his series OF
Shakespearian presentations at the Provi-
dence Opera house this week. and the
efforts OF both star and support were
accorded due appreciation, though the
size OF the audience was no compliment
TO local theatrical taste.
In many respects Mr.. Mantell invested
his Hamlet with even greater and more
Sustained interest than the other roles
I'm which he has been seen this week;
and his impersonation reflected the same
intellectually, sincerity and artistic
methods that have already won admra-
tion, we'll as further demonstrating
his remarkable versatility.
The actor gave 20 the stellar role some
what greater dramatic intensity and vigor
than some others have done. which at
times seemed somewhat TO detract from
the depth OF sentiment and the effective
depletion Of tho subtle delcacs OF the
part OF the moody Dane; but this same
tendency gave an individuality 20 his con
ception not altogether uninteresting and
showing that Mr.. Mantell approaches
every roo he essays with a oommendable
earnestness OF purpose and originality
The scene In which Hamlet denounces
the queen was given with admirable eff
| feet, the advice TO the players and the
| famous soiloquy were marked by many
| fine touches; and Mr.. Mantell's imper-
sonation as wholly was deserving OF
warm commendation.
Miss Russell as Ophelia. Giles Shine as
Polonlus and MIR Leighton as Iaertes
all gave excellent support
This evening and tomorrow night "Rich-
ard III" will be presented. and tomorrow
afternoon Hamlet" viii be the attrac-
tion.
