MANTELL AS HAMLET. .
Distfngasshed Actor Puts on shake
speare's Glorious Masterpiece.

sDeare's Glorious Masterpiece.
The great test of all shakespearean
actors is their performance Of Hamlet.
Il was Hazlitt who said that no man
could be entirely bad In Hamlet, because
the character was so universal that il
must suit all mems natures But II he
needed a refutation of his theory he
should have been able to see Mr. Robert
Mantelrs impersonation Of this, the most
glorious of ali Shakespearean characters,
last night at the New National Theater
There was hardly one point In which
Mr. Mantelrs essay of Hamlet touched
the real life and spirit of Shakespeare s
greatest play Physically handicapped he
is. Of course: for Hamle1 was young
man. but this difference-the difference
of mere years-other actors have been
able to overcome. as witness Henry IIv-
ing. Mr.. Mantell does not seek TO over
come; lie does not try 10 act the young
man; ne relies on his reading, and un-
fortunately his reading is for the most
part strikingly contrary to the sense Of
Shakespeare.
The ranting and the extrayagant gesture
of the old school have no place in this
play. whieh-more than any other OF
Shakespeare produetions-appeals TO the
modern intellect Every intelligent man
has read Hamlet and knows how it should
be phrased. and when one hears that
glorious speech
To be. OF not 10 be-
spoken as Mr. Mantell spoke Il last
night it IS 10 make The judiclous
grieve."
In no other play Of Mr. Mantelrs reper-
toire has the weakness of mis- company
been more apparent than it was in this
The POlonius OF Mr. Alfred Hastings
was impossible; and the fine speech-the
advice 10 his son Laertes-lost all of its
value by the mambling utteTances of
this player,
Il was not alone. however in the
weakness Of the company that this per-
Torrance of Hamlet must be con-
demned. Mr.. Manten himself read his
lines like a scho0lbOy reading "a lesson ;
he lacked force. CONTINGENCIES, and
verify. There was no time during the
play AZ which his performance was not
that of a pedant who had learned the
/ lines and who spoke them as he chose.
The effect. instead of being grand. was
/ ludicrOus Altogether 1t was a sorry per-
( formance OF Hamlet"
Tie supporting company was equal 10
I the star-that Is, IL was impossible. Miss
/ Russell. neither by physique nor tempera-
ment, Is equal to the delicate, dainty pa
/ thetic part Of Ophelia. There was no
/ time at which she was wholly within the
/ key Of the part Her performance was
wholly disappointing.
OF Mr.. Mantelfs genius. of his close
study Of Shakespeare, there is no do-bt
But, temperamentally. artistically, and
mentally, Hamlet is the one part he
should not essay-neitheT for himself noI
/ for the company he carries with him.
