ADJUSTMENTS.

An audience that filled practically every
seat in the Salt Lake theatre last night
witnessed Mr.. Mantelfs presentation of
"OthellO." As the Mantel engagement
nears its close. local playg0eTs are realiz-
ing what a rare opportunity so many of
them have missed during the week. The
house last night was worthy of Mr.. Man
tell. He seemed to draw inspiration from
il and played the Moor superbly. 1t was
a different characterization from any Mr..
Manteli has given here, different in that
there was more defamation in it. Othello.
though was a barbarian. The primal
passions surged holly through his breast
and found their expression in wild, loud
talk and wilder actions. He best de-
scribes himself when he says
Rude am in my speech.
And little blessed with the soft phrase of
peace.
For since these arms of mine had seven
years pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted. they
have used
Their dearest action in the tented field.
And little of this great world can l speak.
More than pertains TO feats of broil and
battle"
So Mr. Mantelrs Othello was natural
Moor. The voice that was wont TO make
itself heard above the roar of deadly con-
flict could not in a short space of time
attune itself To the drawing room.
Throughout, Mr.. Manteli was convincing
and in the murder scene he was infinitely
pathetic. Each man kills the thing he
loves" SAYS the writer of THE Ballad of
Reading Goal" And Othello loved Des-
demOna even as he slew her. But he was
not sane then. lie had been driven mad
by that jealousy which, as a greater
writer than Shakespeare says, is ''cruel as
the grave"
The murder OF Desdemona was terrify-
ingly natural. The woman was actually
killed before the eyes of the audience.
Her plea for pity, for one more night
of life, wentu nheeded. The one act of
mercy the Infatuated Moor showed was
the dagger thrust that ended her suffer-
! ing. Then the disclosures that revealed
/ the diabolical IagO, splendidly presented
/ by Mr.. McGinn. the death of Othello and
4 the curtain. The sembance was so close

/ a collective sigh of relief when the lights
/ flashed up and the orchestra began to
/ play the people out of the theatre.
/ Miss Russeils DesdemOna was picture
/ of Wifely love and trust and innocence.
/ None but a mailman could have believed
/ her guilty of the crime of which she stood
unjustly accused. For her there was moth
ng but sympathy and affection. Miss Rus
