Robert Mantell played a man last
night He was Othello. the noble
Moor, and he was human, passionate
man of any age-save for the sanguin-
ary thrust of sword and dagger, which
is not the mood of today for noble men
lie was powerful and all of the tre
mendous art of Shakespeare burned in
his voice., his gesture and his poise.
The Van Ness theater, which during
the Mantel engagement is wonderful
place held worthy audience. and the
audience saw a presentment of the
force of Shakespeare that was reYe-
lation Mantell's production of Othello
was in alignment with his Lear and his
Macbeth
SAN Francisco had a greater share in
the honor of last nights performance
than came from its responsive appre-
citation of the merits of the production.
San Francisco contributed Francis Nc
CHM, the Iago, to the stage. McGinn
came into his own honor as he has
come into his own city--in the part Of
Iago. He won fairly with the star the
encomiums that leaped across the
footlights from the auditorium He
had more curtain calls than had Man
tell.
McGinn played 1ago as the cunning
wretch should be played-with dapper
ingenuity, with insolence. with soft and
winning subtlety. His tongue was ever
alive to the eXigencies that Shake
speare ordained for his most wicked
creation.
There is this that must be considered
at a Shakespearean play: while the
actors are given most Stupendous oppor-
tunities-and stupendously does Man
tell accept them-yet the genius of
Shakespeare glitters SO in the lines as
to make all other art seem pallid. Can
there be an actor who is as great an
actor as Shakespeare is poet? Man
tell is doing San Francisco double
service. He is giving us wonderfully
keen Interpretation of the mighty char
acters in the English drama. and he is
showing us. by most adequate present
ment on the part of himself, his
leading man. Francis McGinn, and his
Leading women. by the talent of all his
support and the skill of all his me-
chanical force, the transcendent glory
of Shakespeare's works

LEW DOCKSTADER PROMISES
A LIVELY ENTERTAINMENT.

Lew D~ockstader, with what he says
Is the livIiest show that he ever brought
here, will be at the Newark Theatre
next week. In every department that
makes up a. minstrel show this is easily
the very best, we are told, that Dock
etader has organized.
In the first part the singing is said
10 be exceptionally good, there being
some strong voices, and the choruses
all true. The singers appear to es-
pecial advantage in the spectacle, THE
Land of Nicotine" where they render
an Indian number, 1.-The Pipe Of
Peace" In this spectacle also the
dancers execute the dances of various
countries.
The big feature of the program is
quite naturally Dockstader himself.
His new song in the first part, when
the Hammer on the Anvil Rings" Is
one of the best topical songs he has
had. Later he presents his new slSit,
"a Dull Day at the White Gus IN
which, In a funny makeup" as the
President, he d~iscourses on current
nublic topics, and incidentally sends a
keen shaft or two at local political con-
ditions. s
Neil OiBrien, Dockstader's first lieu
tenant, has a conspicuous place in the
program, and John King, Peter Detzei
and other comedians have all oppor-
tunities for fun-making.
There will be Wednesday and Satur-
day matinees.
